    75% is a bit extreme for me. 50% would be more in my wheelhouse

    75% lagers — what an interesting goal! I’ll suspect you’ll know them well by the end of the year.

    At the risk of offense … I’ve tried Duvel multiple times, and I just don’t enjoy the flavor. That’s not true for all Belgian Pale Strong Ales … I love Lariat Lodge (Littleton, CO) Gogmagog, and Court Avenue (Des Moines) Farmers Market Gold. Probably something screwy in my taste bud chemistry. I’ll respectfully sit out this Duvel Tasting Weekend and will be glad with you that you’re enjoying it — I mean that!

    I absolutely have to leave town and not be available by phone or email to take a proper vacation. Say, backpacking in the Wyoming Mountains. I’ll absolutely visit craft brewpubs en route — but that would involve work for you!

  Ralphs had 12-packs of Celebration (canned on 11/10) on sale for $17.99 or $12.99 if you bought two. Guess how many I bought?
