Lavabe,
Thanks for the tip re Sweet Georgia Brown. I am in Dunwoody right now. Doubt I will get to Decatur, but will look for the Brown Ale on tap around here.
Fortunately, I live in an area (Boston) where availability of interesting and tasty brews is not a problem.
And DevilDeac, I have had Hop Devil. Lots of it (though not in a while).
The Samuel Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner, which I mentioned before, is quite a hop experience.
But even though I love hoppy beers, I am an equal opportunity drinker. Love stouts and porters, too. Belgians are hit and miss with me. For example, I like Brooklyn Local 1 a lot, but went to a Belgian Brew Fest in Boston earlier this year which was a bit overwhelming. Maybe Belgians are not well-suited to such rat-a-tat-tat sampling.
Anyhow, nice to see this beer thread continue to grow. Other than basketball, beer is one of my biggest non-family passions.
Slim
