Is that a nitro can?
It's funny how in Ireland, the Extra Stout was essentially nonexistent. I think I saw some in stores, but pubs it's the Draught only. And 0.0 which is the best NA beer I've ever had if by best we mean it tastes as good as the regular.
Not a nitro can. I don't recall seeing that Extra Stout before here. I agree, their NA 0.0 is as good as the regular, I did get some a while back.
Not a big fan of Guiness but I do get it once in a blue moon. But "EXTRA STOUT" got my attention so had to try it. And it's delicious. Deserving of a month with no "R".

Some Pernicious IPA from Wicked Weed Brewery out in Asheville. Smooth and tasty, especially given that it's 7.3% ABV. Sometimes those higher octane ales taste like malt liquor.

I'm about to call it a week...and one of these is about to go open...
Perhaps more like liquorice. Not my exact taste for a man's beer. But one cannot really argue on taste. Or?
Only on good taste!
Thankfully I have not had a beer that tastes like licorice. It seems to me that ales may not be as popular in Europe, outside of the UK and Belgium - except maybe for things like Kolsch or top-fermented brews like Hefeweizen. To me, it seems like few brewers in the US can make lagers or pilsners that taste as good as the ones from Europe, though.

It is named after the river in the UP, but the brewery is in the lower peninsula (the "mitten") - near Kalamazoo as far as I recall. It's a pretty hearty IPA - good stuff.
Great beer! Bell's makes great brews except IMHO Oarsman Ale...
That man will shill for anything. Though the beach commercials are funny.
He's a pretty funny guy. I can't think of any celebrity who has recently endorsed a beer brand; it used to be common in the 1950s through the '70s for print and TV ads. I think professional athletes have been prohibited from endorsing beer - at least NFL and MLB players - for quite a while. NASCAR drivers "endorse" them, but I don't think they can do ads.
Named after the Two Hearted River in Michigan? Or after Hemingway's story of the similar name?
IPA? Won't appeal to everybody.

Most Oskar Blues stuff is consistently less expensive —$9, and so is Sierra Nevada, compared to the $10 & $11 typical price now. We got them to switch to cans to save them money in distribution and the price went up. EEKanomix!
Oskar Blues, Sierra Nevada, and New Belgium all set up secondary or "satellite" breweries in near Asheville, NC (about 4 hours west of my location) a few years ago, so generally one week a month some of their varieties are on sale (as "local" beer) in the supermarket I go to. $15.99 a 12-pack of Sierra cans sometimes...
Excellent. been enjoying the occasional one for years. @ $12 a six pack. Hopslam comes from same brewer and is good but I don't get the hype over limited offerings. I usually veer away from the "hurry before its too late" stuff. There are too many locally brewed excellent beers.
