My favorite this week is Brewery Vivant Triomphe, out of Grand Rapids, MI, a refreshing Belgium Style IPA. It blends the hoppiness of an IPA with the smooth and citrus of a Belgium Ale. It has also completely redirected my thinking about the merits of craft canned beer. Check out their website http://www.breweryvivant.com/ and the BeerAdvocate page to learn more.

That sounds great! I just turned 21 in February so I have much to learn. I like anything other than the crappy college beer we get every weekend.

FYI my favorite cheap beer is either Coors light, Budweiser or Bud light

Never forget this, dreese: the crappy beer I had in college was the best beer I ever had.

Best beer because of the memories (or lack there of?) or because of the quality?

In college, it's all about quantity over quality.

All this college talk makes me have to be honest here: I never liked beer until I had my first Guinness, it was like I woke up and realize that beer had real power. Before that I was more of a rotgut whino when I need to drink for cheap... of course that has alot to do with my love of Hemingway and Kerouac- they were whinos

I worked a catering event this weekend and was the bartender at a wedding, first time I tapped a keg in almost 8 years! I remember when I was in college a buddy and I carried a keg across a golf coarse, it was brutal, we had to go over a chain link fence that was I swear eight feet tall. Anyway I am drinking Yazoo (Nashville, TN) Sly Rye Porter very nice.

My best Guiness Story,

I was in the Army and stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC going through the Special Forces Medical Coarse, anyway a buddy and I would go to Charlotte, NC almost every weekend to get away from "Joe" and stay with a friend that was a cop. We would drink Guiness until we were almost blind and then get a ride home. The next morning I was feeling pretty rough and went to take a crap (if you have drank enough Guiness you know what this is like). Well my buddy that lived there his girlfriend and 14 year old cat moved in that weekend. I was sitting on the crapper and this cat walks out of his cat box takes two steps and kills over!! I watched this play out in complete disbelief right at my feet. Well I had a decision, wipe or CPR. The cat puked on me then died. So I walk out of the bathroom and I said "Tracey, your cat, well........agh don't go in there!" It was all over but the crying

[TWC]

That might be the best cat story I've ever heard.

I would share my Guinness story or stories but I can never top that! Well done, I'm sure I'll tell your story the next time I share a Guinness with a few close friends.
