Not a Killian's in sight
Great show guys. I'm anxious to find the Tasgal and FFF now. We can get the Heather Ales out here (my wife's a big fan of the Fraoch).
Wanted to mention another excellent Scotch (that's a drink, not a people) brew: Traquair Jacobite. My wife picked it up on a lark while watching the Masterpiece Theater Kidnapped and it blew our socks off. Got bottles galore aging now. Can't wait to try it after a year or two. Highly recommended.
Also, add Lagunitas' Imperial Red to your "not exactly a red but incredibly good" list. Still a few sixers floating around my area and I grab 'em whenever I can.
Jacobite
... and if spiced beers aren't your thing (as they aren't mine), try the straight Traquair House Ale - same thing without the spices. A huge malty brew that is hands down the best beer from Scotland I've ever had.
Aqueous
Could you say aqueous one more time? Please? Pretty please?
Thanks for the pics of the brews !
I hope it becomes a new feature.
Can we see any pics of your studio/basement... the cellar beers, the fridge and the furnace ?
