If I could get the 120 minute DFH then I would buy it in an instant.<BR/><BR/>I've seen the Harvest ale over here so I'll await this years batch, although I'm sure it'll lose something on the way over here - those hoppy beers are always best ultra fresh, that's why I'm very eager to open the ones which Lee brought me back!!<BR/><BR/>Zak, I've heard about that wine guy, hopefully some will trickle into to Britain!<BR/><BR/>And Wurst, I don't know if he went to the pubs, he had my beer guide so I'll ask him!Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-25357750573219061492009-04-11T08:45:00.000+01:002009-04-11T08:45:00.000+01:00I tried some of the Speakeasy beers recently - I t...I tried some of the Speakeasy beers recently - I thought they were all very good. It seems as though there's a wine merchant in Ireland who brings in wine from California, and he's thinking about importing these and the Gordon Biersch range.Zak Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650929798289995172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-77835342814003198472009-04-10T15:19:00.000+01:002009-04-10T15:19:00.000+01:00Liam, your mate goes to San Francisco, and doesn't...Liam, your mate goes to San Francisco, and doesn't mention pubs?? Should have went to The Toronado, Magnolias, and The Pig and Whistle. All in that order! Furthermore, why didn't he come down south?? <BR/><BR/>Have a blessed weekend!Whorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784943453195129865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-85532288399231598832009-04-10T14:25:00.000+01:002009-04-10T14:25:00.000+01:00Mark, looks like you've still got a great selectio...Mark, looks like you've still got a great selection of some boutique West Coast stuff, and it appears you're going toward the hoppier side of things with the Pliny and DFH90. The 90 is an East Coast continuously-hopped IPA, and will definitely arouse the tastebuds. Can't speak for the Pliny, but I've heard good things about that and Russian River in general.<BR/><BR/>If you can ever get your hands on some fresh-hop American ales that arrive in late summer (Harvest by Sierra Nevada and Hop Trip by Deschutes come to mind), I highly recommend them. All the fresh hop flavor and aroma without too much bitterness. That's more up my alley these days.<BR/><BR/>As for the beers you've just acquired, I look forward to your findings!E.S.
