Speaking of which, has anyone tried Ommegang's Three Philosophers? I think it's 9.8% alcohol, and is VERY good.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

I have heard some great stuff about that brew, but sadly, it is unavailable in Texas.

Anytime you're up this way, let me know. I'll get you some.

30?!?! You are only 30! Hell, you are just a pup, barely old enough to know anything about barley.

The water of life, my friend. It can find its way into any conversation period. The only conversation better than one that includes beer as a topic is one that includes beer as a topic while you are drinking beer.

Especially considering the ucking fidiot who started the thread has been clean and sober for 22 years. However, there are some good n/a beers out there. There's one, Clausterhaus or Clustersomething that is excellent, and the Guiness n/a is also pretty good.

Oh, and Miller was pretty good about shutting down local breweries. They bought out Oly up here and today, there's a brewery that can be bought in Tumwater, WA that turned out some pretty good beer...

It was the water...

It was either Miller or A-B that bought Henry Weinhard's, who had been brewing in the middle of Dowtown Portland forever, about a dozen years ago. They shut down the Portland brewery (it's condos and retail now), made the stuff out of state, and now they sell it like it's the same old Henry's. Nice try.

Thanks for that... (and I fixed your link).

I left the Austin area in the mid 90's; I remember Celis and was not aware of what had happened since.
