I'm not generally = a fan of Stone Brewing, but they made a collaboration beer that is a = really unusual and great IPA - Japanese Green Tea IPA, If you like IPA = at all, it's worth trying, very drinkable. I'd agree that the Rodenback Grand Cru is good. I also recommend: Monk's Cafe Flemish Sour Ale is a nicely sweet sour cherry flavored ale But my favorite sours are from Russian River Brewing Company - = Supplication is a belgian style sour cherry (my current favorite beer - = period) and Consecration is a dark really strong sour that is amazing = with chocolate brownies. And you can't miss with a Blind Pig or a Pliny = for hoppy ipa's from RRBC. I have a Lost Abbey Red Poppy Ale in my fridge... Other hoppy offerings would include Speakeasy Double Daddy (but it isn't = what it used to be) and Bear Republic's Racer 5=85 If you can get it, = Maharaja from Avery Brewing in Colorado is a great Imperial IPA too. Some Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye and a few random English ales round out = what's in my fridge right now. - chris -- chris bator cbator@mac.com=09 http://www.ui.somebug.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbator interactive and motion design On Jun 3, 2012, at 11:10 PM, James Culbertson wrote: > Most commercial Lambic's are too sweet.

Same for hard cider in the = states. I remember hitch hiking around northern England in the late 80's = and being introduced to hard ciders that were really good, but = unfortunately I cannot remember their names (lots of missing memories = from that time).

And then there are Bavarian Hefeweisens which = were some of the best beers I have ever had (I drank a lot of them = during the time I lived in Munich in '89), but again there is nothing in = the states (so far) that can equal the local brews from that region = (I've tried Paulaner and few of the other imported brands).

Love = to get suggestions...

Thanks,
