One of my favorites. Have you ever tried any Stone breweries products? Stone IPA is good ( india pale ale). My favorite stone brew has a name that would get flagged here but you must try it. It's called Arrogant B Pale Ale. If you like a real beer with some bite give it a try. Oh yeah and read the label. It's a kick in the pants.

Britt if you have problems keeping the water flowing out the tap when your back flushing your lines if you take a wire nut and a heavy wire and make a loop and glue the wire ends in the wire nut you can put it in the end of the tap and it will keep the ball out of the way so it don't shut your water off and will make it essayer to clean out the lines.

I bet as the night went on (and the more you drank) the more free beer you handing out! I have a kegorator myself. Keep the glasses in the freezer and clean the lines out between kegs. The brand tends to be whatever fits my tastes at that point in time.

Now if I could only talk myself into setting up the Guinness system. Just can't find a place around here that will fill dual gas.

Try finding a glycol system
Were are you getting your Co2 filled? if your having trouble finding a place to fill them if you got a Pepsi or a coke distributer close by see if they will fill them for you.

Real Ale Brewing Company "Full Moon Pale Rye Ale" from Blanco, TX tonight. For my wedding anniversary my brother that lives in Austin got me 3 6 packs of local Microbrew beer Lately I have been loving the Full Sail IPA, and of course the usual Shiner and Sierra Nevada.

Got to thinking tonight.... It has been a while since we talked about beer.
So what will you be drinking this weekend? Anyone got any new favorites? I just tried a Porter from Diamond Bear Brewing out of Little Rock AR. and it wasn't half bad. I haven't liked much from them but I do have to say that the Porter was pretty darn good. Here is the link to Diamond Bear: http://www.diamondbear.com/partyporter/
And I would hate to disappoint so here are some pictures:
It's a beautiful sight!
And Sierra Nevada on tap
Take care all and have a great and safe weekend!!!

A well stocked fridge you have there Britt. Guinness is my favorite beer as well, though when I buy it, I buy the pint cans instead of the 12 oz bottles. (just my personal preference.

That's probably true. After I bought the first keg, I never paid for beer again, so I was not worried about it.
I will drink almost anything if it is free, but I will not buy anything lighter than Bud. I like heavier beer. I got some real german beer from one of my friends in the AF, home made bottles, cork tops wired on... 2 of them and I was

Usually it's shiner bock, ziegen bock, or coors light (hey, it's cheap and I'm in college) but last night it was bud ice from a keg. I'll drink pretty much anything you put in front of me. The one beer I most definately won't drink is natural lite.
