In fact even though Goose is local to Chicago it's not widely available at all Chicago bars and all. In other news a charity I'm on the board of is holding a beer tasting fundraiser at Goose Island.

The 'hex nut brown' is a fantastic beer, although I don't think that you and I share much in the way of taste in beers (for instance, I think that 312 is a pretty solid American wheat).
Actually, I've liked almost every GI seasonal I've had, although I will say that if it came down to Honkers vs. St Pauli I'd select St Pauli (as long as it's not St Pauli Dark, which is bootleg at best).

I'm OK with hex nut to taste but not to drink, and certainly not to drink often.
To each their own.

My favorite beer thats widely available is becks dark although I go cheap most of the time hence the high life living.
The best beers out there that I've tasted are the ones locally made at brewpubs and the like.

As ksigkid's pledge son used to say . . . "Let's get a case of St. Ide's, because remembering tonight is overrated"

St. Ide's and Steel Reserve are so different.
St. Ide's tastes like someone took jolly ranchers and added malt liquor to them.
Steel reserves are awful but I think it has to do more with the alcohol content.
I'm trying to remember the worst 40 I ever had but it's hard. It might have been a Magnum or a King Cobra. One of them was really awful.

I wonder if girls' taste buds are different. I really like light beers. If you gave me the choice between a Rolling Rock and a clearly superior beer (Guiness, Becks, St. Pauli) I will take the Rolling Rock every time.

Hell... most of these 40 oz. howitzers contain nothing more than high-octane pisswater. Gimme a Guinness, or a Bitburger, or even a Heineken (the European, not the import shit we get here) any day!

Either that's not the case, or I'm an exception. I like nothing better than a good stout or porter, the darker the better.

Nah, I just think it has to do with overall taste. I know a lot of guys who feel the same way you do, who wouldn't drink a dark/bitter/complex beer if they got it for free.
Rudey - it was probably King Cobra, that stuff is absolutely awful.

Definitely - there are a large number of different kinds, brands and breweries that can fit any type of taste in beer.

Well I managed to get myself on TV again... and this time involving the campus, a tower, and a gun - people always assumed it was coming
The Soldiers Tower memorial here at UofT recently dedicated some new stained glass windows, that honour the service and sacrifice of the thousands of students and graduates that served in both World Wars.
Anyways for those of you that get CP24 or City Tv (Toronto feed) I would have been the "young gentleman" in the suit guiding the Lieutenant-Governor and the Minister of Defense around the Memorial Room and explaining the working of the WWI German machine gun on display.
