Are you snorting your beer instead of drinking it?

Has a good taste with strong hop flavors. As far as APA's go in not sure if this is good or not but I certainly enjoyed it and will get it again!

So pretty much like what we have to pay for Rogue down here then..... And Rogue XS is around the $45 mark.

Rogues a smidge cheaper here, but, yeah - it gets very expensive , very quickly if you forget and keep grabbing bottles.......mind you, the excise pushes even local beer to stupid prices....

ps its Ameerican ...home of ...miller lite eeeewwwwwwww

Whilst I applaud you're distain of miller lite, bud lite, arse suck spit into a bottle lite etc, they can actually do some nice beers. Sam Adams was a quite tasty beer, plus a number of others (sierra nevada pale ale, some weird prohibition ale etc....)

As for the glasses, this is what they use in belgium where the monks brew the 12% shizzel. So god says it's good!

The only time I snort beer is when I laugh too much as I swallow it...and even then, it comes out - doesn't go in...

Had a big night last night, Went to Hashingo Zake and had a Townsend Cathcarts NTA on the hand pump then headed over to the malthouse and had the following;
Yeastie Boys "Pot Kettle Black"
Emersons "Tally Ho!"
Tim Taylor "Landlord" real ale,
Badger "Golden Champion"
Badger "First gold" (single hop real ale),
Fullers "Winter Ale",
Fullers Vintage ale (From the 2000 vintage)
Then back to Hashingo Zake for a Twisted hop "Challenger" bitter on the hand pump.
An evening full of win!!

I still don't understand why I didn't get a hangover today????????
