Paul

just had one of my rye pale ales, didn't turn out too badly. I won't be able to brew for a living, but at least it will keep me busy. Has anyone here tried growing hops and had any success?

- Paul I've got a flat roofed house, so up the side and over the top is what i'm planning, also a semi-dead tree on the cooler side of the yard to try one (branches at about 10 and 15 feet). I just love the smell.

- RichsWorldBeerTour Keep us posted on the progress. Maybe I'll check with my local beer shop about growing hops in MN.

- Mark If you get a chance Rich, head out to Brau Brothers Brewery in Lucan, MN. They have a 2 acre hop farm. Just call them before you go because in the next month or so they are moving to Marshall, MN (although I doubt the hop field is moving).

- RichsWorldBeerTour That's about a three hour drive for me. At some point I'll make the drive.

Paul did my first shot at home brewing, a Russian Imperial, not too bad, needs less carbonation, but its drinkable

Paul commented on KajII's photo: I have to agree for the most part, however, there have been instances where there's been more than one and you get to a good looking one, the top comes off and it refuses to go down like you want it to, making a mess on my shirt. Get your mind out of the... more

Paul What a wonderful Christmas in London, these and 32 others. Also got to bring thirteen back. That doesn't include pub drinking which included a dozen more. However, drinking in the UK isn't cheap.

Paul I went to a beer tasting in Bloomington, IN this week. Was told to try the Blue Moon caramel-apple offering. Well, it had about as much body as Casper the friendly ghost. If you like caramel/apple flavored water, its great

Paul doesn't matter which state, just coastal is preferable, inexpensive would mean sub-$2/can in bulk. Someone that I know is looking to ship overseas

- Mark A good choice might be Cigar City. They will be canning 8 beers soon. Average retail $10/6-pack. Distributor pricing should be a good bit less.
  
  June 4, 2012
- CraftBeerLove619 probably a half dozen or so less than $10/sixer where I work, all styles

Paul looking for an inexpensive semi-craft beer in cans from either coast, lighter is better, either a wheat or pale would be fine. Any suggestions?

Paul Back from 'sconsin this evening, got to visit six new (to me) brewpubs/micros and one regional brewery. Many beers were consumed, many joined me for the trip home. Leaving for Florida in two days, I'm sure that it won't be as productive.
- June 3, 2012
- Mark Awesome. Any new favorite brews?
  
  June 4, 2012

Paul Jason, just wanted to give you a run for your money on glassware. But I believe that I've had a year or two or three head start. There are boxes on the floor with glasses in them. and one more pic in the album that didn't show here.

- Paul How do you know which beer to drink out of it if there's no Logo???? most of the pounders were from the brewpubs themselves, the goblets and such, not so much.
  
  April 4, 2012
- HEISCHMAN Logos (to me) get in the way of looking at the beer.
