We should make it an AZ gathering next year. No doubt we could at least get that drunkard Paul in on it.

It's been a few years since I've attended any of the beer advocate fests... def. game for next year (or sooner, if they have another 'Night of the funk' or such...)
Beers I'm most excited about this summer? Harpoon Summer and IPA in a can. There are so few decent canned beers out there, it's nice to have a couple of new decent ones to take to the beach, boating, hiking whatever.

Sounds good to me! :beer:
It's such a gorgeous day outside and PDW that I already almost grabbed a brew to enjoy while lounging in the sunshine. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? :beer:

My favorite summer beer going right now is the Newport Storm, which is surprisingly hoppy for a summer brew.

Huge fave around here right now.

Likewise, we can't have glass in the park after softball so a decent beer in a can is exciting... anyone seen either the IPA or Summer in cans in stores yet?

I'm going to rapidly intensify my search for Harpoon in a can with the NASCAR races at Loudon coming up this weekend. IMHO wouldn't be a bad thing at all carrying in a bunch of them for the race!

I am on the hunt for the same thing for a camping trip this weekend. Harpoon in a can = WIN.

I got the Harpoon cans for the Phish show the other night. Kinda hard to judge when pouring into a plastic cup, but I wasn't disappointed.

Argh. Charity bike ride this weekend. Plenty of Harpoon, but I was really looking forward to cracking into my DFH World Wide Stout or my Stone RIS. Oh well. Next weekend probably.

The Stone RIS is awesome. You could certainly lay it down for a year or two (if you have the patience). Still haven't had the DFH WW...

Except for the few gallons at the bottom of the bin...Bar Harbor Real Ale, on tap, is terrific. They bottle it as well, but the few markets that carry it in Bangor don't refrigerate it = doesn't compare to the stuff along the coast.
Once had Carrabassett's original "x"? ale....and 3-4 years ago had Otter Creek's Pale Ale...thought it brought back memories of first couple times up @Sugarloaf and the Carrabassett "?" Ale. Really nice but on average I like the darker..
Wayy back, before I knew what I was tasting...1960s..had a little of the original Lowenbrau in a pub in Springfield, MA area....liked it, granddad raved about it for years..;-)

my cooler this weekend camping consisted of Harpoon Summer and IPA, Dales, and Fat Tire. All in cans. It was a very popular cooler.
