"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza."

About half way through a sixth of Founder's Centennial IPA. Where has this beer been all my life
What did a sixtel run you? I had a half barrel of this last year, but pretty much felt like I got bent over with a $190 price tag.

I always have Yeungling with a bunch of different homebrews. Currently they are an english pale ale, an octoberfest, an american amber, a coffee porter, and a Double Dead Guy clone.
Only had my kegerator for 5 weeks and on my 3rd keg, had a 1/2 and a 1/4 of miller lite but just got a 1/2 of yuengling lager lite. what a difference, the miller besides the taste, I was getting alot of foam. with the yuengling all pours have been pourfect. I'm very happy to have joined the kergerator crowd
1st had a 1/4 of yuengling lager, then a 1/4 of miller lite and now a sixtel of Shock Top Belgium White that i got about a week ago that i almost have kicked all by myself.
what should i get next?
i have a cheepo vissani kegerator, but it works fine for me...the beer gets me drunk, thats all that matters :-)
FYI - my cousin is married to one of the Trogner's of the Troeg's brewery. He doesnt work there, but it is his families business.
I tried a few different brews at my uncles house a few years ago and didnt like them, but my tastes have changed, so maybe I'll give them another chance.
If you drink Miller lite, yuengling and Shock top there isn't much from Troegs you are going to enjoy. Try the Dreamweaver to start. And the Nut Brown Ale second. But don't but a whole keg of either before you try them. I am going tonight to get a 1/6 of hopback, that is unless I see an oatmeal stout at the distributor.

1/6th of Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen (damn tasty)
1/4 of Miller Lite (as usual)
Now if I can just find out which distributor handles Papago Brewings Orange Blossom Wheat Beer. Had a couple of Pints last Saturday and was it ever good.

About $80 from the local pony keg. But keep in mind the state of Ohio fixes beer prices. I usually by from a shop in Kentucky as the prices there are generally cheaper.
Nearing the end of this keg, about time for some Bell's Oberon as Memorial Day weekend is almost here!
Finished a half of Killians the end of april, got a quarter of mic lite to tide us over until, we put in a half of Dos Equis Ambar to kick off the summer. Stuff is good but it ain't cheap.
Just ordered a 1/2 barrel of Founder's Centennial. Tomorrow is the 1st day it's available here in Missouri, and I've got one on order that's coming in tomorrow. $160 for a 1/2 barrel. I paid $190 for the same 1/2 barrel almost a year ago in Illinois.
