    I like Bell's. I like Founder's. I love Hopslam. Founder's Frangelica Porter on tap was perhaps a beer I enjoyed over any other. Don't really care if you like it or not cause I did. I probably have 30 or more beers from these two breweries in my basement as I type this (Including 8 KBS and I haven't even tried 1 yet). I don't care to pick one brewery over the other and just don't understand the vitriol. Have a beer. Like it don't like it - who cares. What difference does it make if you like one brewery over another and why would anyone waste any energy trying to convert or demean one with a differing opinion. Opinions are just that. So have your opinion but let other's have their's. The only people wrong on this thread are those who believe someone's opinion is wrong which by definition it can't be. So as has been said before relax, have a beer, and quit taking yourselves so damn seriously.

    I could have saved all the typing and just said "So" as the obviously brilliant Highbrow did as I was typing my dissertation.

    IMO

    Two-Hearted Ale: One of the best standard IPAs out there
    Hopslam: Among the top 3 DIPAs I have ever tasted
    Expedition Stout: Really good
    Double Cream Stout: Pretty good
    Java Stout: Pretty good
    Third Coast Old Ale: Delicious. Love the fact that they don't put absurd amounts of hops like a lot of other American breweries do with barleywines.
    Oberon: One of the better American wheat ales I've had, but not my style preference.
    Kalamazoo Stout: Pretty good
    Porter: Pretty good
    Amber Ale: Pretty good
    Smitten Golden Rye: Good. I was really impressed by this one, actually.

    So yeah, I actually like everything I've had from Bell's. Their entire lineup is solid and consistent. Not overrated at all in my opinion. They are one of my favorite breweries that distribute to my area.

    You completely missed the point of my post, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but delivering it as fact and something that the rest of us will learn if we can become as sophisticated as you is when it becomes arrogant. And I assure you, my distaste for everything steelers far exceeds yours

    Yup, we call that trolling. And honestly he isn't even very good at it.

    Eh, so what (I get your sarcasm though). I've had this conversation with many people. IPAs aren't known for having much of a shelf life, Two Hearted is no exception; and I've honestly had times where I've enjoyed it immensely and other times not so much. They don't distribute to me, so if I'm in an area where I can get it, I usually will grab a sixer to bring back home for friends, but honestly it wouldn't be the end of the world for me if I never had it again. Absolutely worth trying, but to each their own on how they feel about it.

    You would be berated in a similar fashion to the OP.

    tl;dr: So Hop_King is your troll account?

    You should retake civics class or whatever...The constitution definitely does not guarantee the right to troll forums.

    The 1st Amendment protects you from the GOVERNMENT limiting your rights to free speech.

    Actually, the first amendment defends your right to troll forums as trolling forums is a form of free speech. You and I may not like it, but it is true. Same goes if the KKK wishes to have a rally in a public setting, which is basically trolling in public. You protected from more than the government trying to limit you. The media is included in that. I have a degree in Social Sciences so don't try to school me on what the amendments protect and don't protect.

    Gonna acknowledge the trolling and off-topic stuff by locking this one down...
    On my third day of doing this, you guys are doing a good job of testing out my BA Mod skills! :slight_smile:

    Cheers,
