My Roommate picked me up this beer for my birthday at a local SW Washington beer shop, so fitting, I had to share:





Of course I have to wonder who the contractor it was brewed in honor of was, The Brewery is in Chicago, IL, and when I think Chicago Demolition, I immediately think Brandenburg...

uniqueness aside, the contents were pretty darn tasty too,

Feel free to share your favorite brews

Interesting, never even considered Robinette, my thoughts were Hennegan or Brandenburg. Agreed, I make a point of visiting their pub in O'Hare Every time I fly through there. when it comes to airport beer, if you're paying $10/ brew, you might as well make it a good one!

Dortmunder Union Bier, was one of the best beer's I have ever had.If you can find it stateside it is worth tracking down.

I don't know if it's still made but being from New York I drank my fair share of Genesee Cream Ale, it was better than the regular Genesee beer.

Genesee beer was made in Upstate NY around Rochester, When I worked on the NY Thruway I used to see the trucks go by and they were always being stopped by the State police and being checked and cited for over weight!!

Yum, Belgian - ever tried Dilirium Tremens?

I'm partial to IPAs but have been known to indulge in just about any good craft brew. My wife and I love to spend time in the Asheville NC area, the craft beer capital of the world. My favorite (out of 15 or so brewerys) is Pisgah Brewery in Black Mountain.

I recently cut way back on my alcohol consumption for health reasons so don't have the luxury of chasing down new-to-me beers. One thing I have found out is there is a ginormous empty spot for really good NA brews. I hope to make a nice batch here shortly and will let you all know how it turns out. Who knows, maybe it could turn into a full time thing?

Dain,oh how I remember Genesee beer,gave me one of the worst hangovers. The Cream Ale is an acquired taste ,it was in a class of it's own. Thanks for the flashback.

The Genny SCREAMERS!!!! Yeah it's definitely still made, whenever my buddies and I go out to a certain place for wings they always get a screamer-or 5.

I'm not a huge beer fan, but when I am I usually drink Bud Light or Platinum. Not a fan of wheats or microbrews, can't get into them.

My first choice is Three Olives Cherry Vodka, or Grey Goose Black Cherry with Coke, it's like a cherry Coke! And, they go down wayyy to easy!

i like beer

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

So true. I've gotten into the small craft brews and enjoy Sam Adams beers every once in a while. Wife picked up a twelve pack of mixed Sam Adams beers. Was worth every penny,good stuff that Sam Adams.
