How about a Longboard Sauvignon Blanc

http://www.longboardvineyards.com/

"Try balance, harmony and nature for starters.
Surfing is part sport, part meditation and all working within, rather than against, nature. Winemaking? Pretty similar approach.

Both surfers and winemakers reach the summit of their respective crafts when they attain an understanding of, and a respect for, the environment in which they work (and play). Adapting to their surroundings, they achieve peak performance, on the waves and in the vineyards. "

Those wines look GOOD!

Glad to see so much love on here for Yeungling Lager. Its nice to see our Pa. brew being enjoyed by alot of people. I remember a few years ago before they opened up there facility in Florida I had to take cases with me when we traveled pass the Mason Dixon line to go on vacation. MMm makin me thirsty. Is it to early for one?

Too early?? No, remember, it's 5 'o clock somewhere......

I also find it interesting that Yuengling has developed such a strong following across the country. Being a Pennsylvania native I just assumed it was enjoyed more regionally. But, as their ads say, they are the oldest brewery in America.....

Yeah me too. I also recall my mother saying when she was young it was the cheap beer to drink if you didnt have alot of money on you. Kind of a last resort beer.

Hey where abouts are you in southcentral pa?

Hey Backstreets,

I live in Chambersburg (along I-81), about 25 miles west of Gettysburg on Route 30. And you???

Im from Scranton but my girlfriend lives in Hummelstown. Im down here weekends and sometimes during the week depending on my company. Have you been to the Parrot head bar in Marysville? If so did you like it? Weve been thinking about going.

I heard about that "Parrothead bar" in Marysville, but haven't checked it out yet. Let's swap PM if either of us gets more info, OK?

I live just a couple miles down the road from the Parrothed Bar.
It's not bad. Decor is very Buffett. Good place for fellow Parrotheads
to meet.

I don't think that anyone yet has mentioned Newcastle Brown Ale, another from Great Britain. Very nice......

And I recently got a 6-pack of J. W. Dundee Honey Brown lager, brewed in Rochester, NY. Smooth, unique taste that's a nice change of pace....

Maybe we BNers could get some kind of beer tasting/rating post started. Any interest????

P. S. to Big John: Can you PM me with the name of the bar in Marysville and directions? Maybe some of us in the area can plan a mini-phlocking sometime soon......

Mr. SGH likes J.W. Dundee. Room temperature.... "Any beer you can't drink at room temperature isn't work drinking"....

Longboard Island Lager but you can only get it in Hawaii!

Unfortunately that is true, and I love that beer, but you can get Kona's Fire Rock Pale Ale at most Bubba Gump restaurants on the mainland

Available here in NJ. I'm pretty sure Charlies Bar and Rest. in Somers Pt. NJ carries it. They have signs up and once I asked for it and they were out.

[OceanCityGirl]

oh and as others have said, Yeungling for a daily drinker, for parties with large groups, etc. Inexpensive at Sam's Club too.

My favorite is Fat Tire by New Belgium, but it is not available here in Wisconsin, so I go for Bell's Amber instead.

I have heard many good things about this brew, but never had one.
Where's it brewed (and sold)?

Funny you mention J.W. Dundee. Just picked up the variety pack today. Not bad form what I have had so far.

Fat Tire used to be brewed in Ft. Collins, CO. I think they have since been bought out, and distributed on a much larger scale. One of my favorites too. Along with Honeybrown (JW Dundee) and Stella Artois.

Id rather get Bell's than New Belgium. Even though the 1554 is excellent. Does not make up for Java Stout, Kalamazoo Stout, Best Brown, Two Hearted Ale.

I figured I'd give Larry Bell another chance, but I didn't see that special stuff at my local store.
Went with the old standby, Bells Amber Ale.
Enjoyed it while watching "W"
Listening to the other George W right now on ABC .
Wonder what Mr. Will drinks while watching baseball!

A local beer distributor recently began carrying the line of beers made by Saranac from NY state. I've used their ginger beer when mixing Dark 'n Stormies before, but never tried any of their "alcoholic offerings".....

Anybody have any thoughts about Saranac products??????

[J.LeP]

Funny, I knew of Saranac's beers long before I knew they made a ginger beer!

It still is in Ft. Collins. So far, it is primarily west of the Mississippi, but they are in Chicago, too.

Dominion Lager.

Brewed right here in Northern VA. This has become, pretty much, the standard at my house. But I do like Sam, Guiness, Murphy's, Corona and a lot of micro brews. I will always try a local brew if it is on the menu at a restaurant or on tap in a bar.
