    Hellgate is named for a canyon mountain pass where Native Americans slaughtered travelers that encroached upon the west.

    Draughtworks is pretty good. I like their IPA and a lot of the limited release stuff.

    I still have an older edition of Olde Bluehair in my cellar. Yeah, I agree. Their big beers are marvelous.
    Of their 6 pack cans, fresh IPA is very damn nice.

    I was so fortunate to find an almost full bottle Big Sky Kriek in the Port-o-John at CBS Day. Jokes on whoever left that gem in there....

    i checked on the kriek after reading all the praise in this thread, because i love kriek. gotta admit that i was skeptical after reading the comment that its 100% true to style, in that i doubted that theyre making wild/sour lambic-style beer @ big sky...

    that beer gets shit reviews here and the other review site, what gives? i guess theres no accounting for taste?

    Are you sure it wasn't KBS day instead of CBS day? After forcing everyone I know to take a tiny pour of it I left a bottle in the port-o-potty on KBS day because that is where it truly belonged.

    Could have been that as well. Those days all blend together for me at this point.

    I've come very close to replicating Big Sky's Kriek using a mixture of Shock Top, Nikolai vodka, lemon juice and Vick's Cherry Cough Syrup.
