Although next week belongs to the lagers/weissbiers, rest assured that we will be covering porters and stouts soon, along with many others. :D And you're more than welcome to gatecrash our tastings any time, Ms. Pants.

Hooray! Chicks for beer! (If you want a chick-crasher for the stouts, give a shout!) ((I did not intentionally rhyme that. It's just part of my lameness charm.

I wasn't impressed with the Kona Pale Ale. Not... Pale-Ale-y enough. Some nice flavors but I think I'd prefer it a little less sweet and with a little more of a crisp finish. Haven't had the Full Sail. Have to give it a try. Franziskaner is really great, I think. It was my first from the heffeweisen/witbier category many years ago, and I still enjoy the occasional pint. 1664, on the other hand, I find pretty pedestrian and not worth my time/money. Anyway, nice feature. I look forward to more...

Mmmm.... Beer.... Personally, I can't wait until you two start dipping your toes into Porters & Stouts. I do enjoy the occasional IPA (what with all of its hoppy goodness), but I'll take anything from the Young's Brewery over most anything else on the market.
