Homesick Brews

I have to be the First to mention Yuengling? Thought at least a few posts would of mentioned Yuengling already. I have been living in Colorado for the last 13 years and travel back to PA at least once a year, but I never bring enough back to enjoy all year. Yuengling in a can is what summer is all about for me, but fortunately I work in the Industry and have access to Tons of Colorado Beer.

 

Still pretty new here so I hadn't seen that page, thanks for the info. I've been to Belgium and Germany and can't wait to get back there. Also been to Italy, but that was about 10 years ago and I didn't know what good beer was quite yet. Thanks again

 

I spend 10 months out of the year in the Philippines. Talk about a beer black hole. For the two months I'm in California I drink as many good beers as possible, enjoy the shit out of them, and when I'm in the Philippines I drink what I can, try to find other things to enjoy other than beer and don't worry too much about all the amazing beers waiting for me when I get back.

 

Just moved to okc from CT and im missing just about everything. Stone, dogfish head, firestone walker, jacks abby, victory, ballast point etc...and the local stuff like two roads and my all time favorite, NEBCO. Definitely miss gandhi bot and sea hag. However, if I had moved to san diego I probably wouldn't care as much about what was left behind. A few great breweries in oklahoma, but with no growlers and limited offerings its hard not think about whats being missed out on sometimes.

 

Dude, I just moved to OKC from New Hampshire. I certainly miss the East coast brews as well, Smutty in particular. How are you finding this weather? Its killing me here.

 

I moved back home (STL, IL) from Albuquerque a few months after La Cumbre started canning Elevated.. too soon, too soon..

 

Ugtbfsm. You now live in SD. You ascended Everest and you don't even know u r on top of the freakin world. Get in your car and drive quickly (or run) to Alpine and get a pint or growler of Hoppy Birthday...or Nelson...or Duet ....and realize that you have access to more amazing beers than 95% of BAers.......

 

awesome! it's definitely hard getting used to 90 degrees everyday, and someone even told me its been mild summer so far....just great. At least there's some solid beer here, got any favorites? I highly recommend red badger stout by black mesa.

 

I miss when I was stationed in North Carolina and could buy Terrapin and Foothills.

 

It has been a trip getting used to these 3.2 laws. That said, I like access to some stuff we don't get back east. Locally COOP F5 is pretty solid, and I just had the Prairie/Evil Twin Bible Belt, which is amazing but pricey.

 

I moved from Maine to NJ and was bummed when I could no longer get my Shipyard or Allagash beers. Then both started distributing to NJ and all was right with the world.

 

COOP f5 has been go to for me, and I'd have to give the edge to bomb! over bible belt. But hey, the beer scene isn't too bad here, nothing like up north, but we'll have to make do. cheers!

 

sniff, sniff... made the move to SD from the greater Bmo area circa 15 years ago. While I occasionally miss Glen Burnie and Natty Boh, its been well worth the move. FWIW: Vons sells Old Bay... sprinkle in your Ballast Point... you'll be fine.

 

I'm moving from PA to AZ by October. I will miss all of the local brews big and small. I will still have plenty of people to send stuff out to me so that's great. Enjoy SD my friend. Drink up!!

 

I am surprised BA isn't on the internet blacklist over in China.

 

I'm from Pa. If you need anything from here Troegs, yuengling or whatever just let me know

 

I miss Brewerie back home in PA. The brewery itself is a great, super chill environment and the beers were integral in my dive into craft beer. Especially Hopness Monster.

 

Yeah, people forget this too often.

 

I feel the same for Miller Lite in college...not necessarily good but the nostalgia...

 

Moving to Belgium from the States was hard; a shelf full of Westy XII in my cellar, from my front door to drinking at Cantillon a 50 minute trip, into Beersel to eat and drink at Drie Fonteinen is about 35/40 minutes. While I geniunely miss many American beers between what I mentioned and trades I think I will survive.
