Message radarsock beers 1226 º places 112 º 10:33 Sun 9/30/2012 Until I hit 200, that is. I know, I’m a slow rater . Any suggestions on what I should rate over the week? I was thinking of rating some styles I haven’t rated on the database before (i.e. Dubbel, Eisbock, Old Ale, etc.) What do you guys like to drink that I haven’t rated yet?

Julio’s it is!
Message bottleforager beers 3211 º places 63 º 11:47 Sun 9/30/2012 I really wasn’t a fan of the Lindemans Faro... to sticky sweet for me but one glaring thing that is a cheap easy to acquire beer and is the epitome of American craft brews beginnings would be California Common: Anchor Steam Beer and based on the other unrated styles you have... your not a big fan of session beers? There are so many good pilsners out there that are reasonably priced... Pinkus Pilsner, Wurzburger, Victory Prima Pils.... also Strong Pale Lager/Imp Pils... gotta try Jacks Abby Hoponius Union if your shopping in MA ! Cheers

Cheers I love session beers, doesn’t mean I’ll rate everything, though. And I agree about the Jack’s Abby Hop Uinion: I should definitely try that one out sometime soon. Drink local! I cannot believe I have yet to rate a pilsener on the database. That’s pretty basic. I was also looking into rating a sake or two, just to get the rating.
Message reggiedunlop beers 3729 º places 182 º 12:10 Sun 9/30/2012 The faro is a sweet one...and not my favorite style. But enjoyable enough to tick an obscure style. Thats what i was going for there.

Thats what i was going for there. Yeah I agree... everything is worth trying, for sure. Im hoping to try a Faro from someone besides Lindemans before I write off the style as one Id no longer seek out but the ones from the big Lambic houses seem like very small runs !

Yeah I’ve never seen any others around here in PA. Love to try one or two more at least though.
