[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 228849, member: 9240"] Unfortunately the "one and only New Castle" is no longer one and only and is brewed all over the world and not just at that famous brewery in the UK. We have big beer to thank for that. Last night it was a nice trio of drafts at a favorite local haunt: [LIST] [*]Ommegang Game Of Thrones "Take The Black" Belgian Stout [*]Lefthand Fade To Black No. 5 Dark Rye [*]Sierra Nevada 2013 Celebration Ale [/LIST] I'm a bit of a craft beer geek. I've been tracking my beers since May 2011 using an app called Untappd, which gives you merit badges for beer consumption, making me a Beer Scout of sorts, I guess. LOL I'm at 810 different beers in the last 2 1/2 years, so it easily explains the 25 pounds in the same period (that doesn't include beers I've had before then). I was working to try and hit 1000 on my 50th birthday next year, but that may be optimistic now. When you hit a certain level it's hard to find things you haven't tried. Also a big fan of Kentucky's finest. Maker's as an everyday pour and Woodford Reserve on occasions, with Booker's reserved for those days you want to forget. [/QUOTE]
