We were supposed to have beer in time for the superbowl. But out of 24 choices, our beer store could only get 13. That's a sign that club members are trying to pick new and interesting beers, not just the same old stuff we usually see. It's also a sign of how screwed up PA is with beer, wine and booze. I picked two beers from Deschutes, the 6th largest craft brewery in the US. IIf I lived closer to Philly or Pittsburg, no problem. Here in central PA, problem. No Deschutes for me.

I had a really tough time picking my three favorites out of this bunch. This selection was excellent overall. My three least favorites are probably the only three out of all of them I would not wish to drink again.
The good: Bell's Two Hearted Ale; Troeg's Troegenator; Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout
The bad: Heavy Seas Hang Ten; Skullsplitter; Old Speckled Hen
Already looking forward to round 4 which should be available in time for the super bowl.
