Thanks phantom! Although I don't publicly condone underage drinking, I will say this privately... go drink some beer! If you haven't had much beer in your time, the Pale Ale might be a rough place to start (fyi).

I did mention that all of the seasonals are excellent, although you're definitely right in that I didn't do them proper justice by lumping them into one sentence. I was just getting a little long-winded... BUT, the Harvest is quite good, and the Celebration is a perfect winter beverage- great hoppiness, good color- a solid way to bring in the holidays.

I was just wondering, since you seem like an expert beer connoisseur, if you have ever made your own brew? I don't know if this will interest you or not, but my grandpa and I make homeade wine and beer every year. Last year we made a Canadian Blonde (much like Coors Light) and the majority of people like it the best. Then we made a couple heavier lagers. John Bull, and Bavarian Bock and we also added hops to them. Not many people were too keen on these, as they were very high in alcohol content and very strong on the hops taste. Its also not something that they were used to tasting. Next time I think that we will leave the hops out and try their actual flavor first and then decide if we need to add anything. Have you tried any of these?

Thank you Flower Child! I'm actually just getting started in the world of home-brewing. I have all of the supplies except for a 5-gal secondary fermentor, which I haven't ponied up the cash for yet. I have the ingredients to start on a Honey Wheat, which were put together by a local home-brew shop. Sounds awesome! Seems like a cool way to spend time with the g-pa... Even though the results are sometimes mixed, I imagine it's a fun experience to sit around sipping on some beer that you made! I would love to hear any advice or tips you might have to offer, because it sounds like you are a seasoned brewer at this point!
