The Dutch have found a crafty way to put their alcoholics to good use. Maybe we should try a pilot program here in the states...

Plenty of good news for those on the East coast.

New Belgium broke ground on their East coast brewing and distribution facility May 1st. If you're in the Ashville, NC area, check it out...

Stone Brewing is setting it's sights on South Carolina. The state has introduced a craft beer bill which would allow breweries to sell more beer to the distributors and operate a restaurant in the same location....bring it!

Also, Green Flash is opening a brewery in Virginia Beach. They might need to rethink the name since that green flash can only be seen on the west coast.

Hennepin Spring Seasonal Farmhouse Ale by Ommegang, Cooperstown NY
Full bodied. Citrus, ginger and coriander make this outstanding saison to be a surefire hit at your next barbecue.

PranQster by North Coast Brewing, Fort Bragg, CA

If you are new to Belgian beers, Pranqster is a great beer to begin with. A very drinkable beer that will go well with your spring pastimes.

North Coast touts their unique mixture of antique yeast strains which explains the biscuit in this beer. Yes, there is a hint of bread scent in the nose and in the flavor. A sophisticated California brewhaha. A bit sweet too.

I'll take mine with a charcuterie and artisanal plate....or as I prefer to call it, a plate full of salty meats and stinky cheeses. Whatever you choose, it will go down smooth...

White Hatter by New Holland Brewing Co, Holland, MI

This Belgian-style WPA (white pale ale) is a great addition to New Holland's lineup. More of a pale ale than an IPA however is quite bitter, so if that's not your bag, don't go there. It has a nice spicy wheat flavor thing going on and is full of citrus and fruits. Set this one up with some Maryland crab legs.

Green Flash's Green Bullet, San Diego, CA

A well balanced triple IPA with a nicely concealed 10% ABV. Not overly bitter as you might would expect from a triple. The aroma on this bad boy is piney but the flavor is citrusy and pretty well balanced between the bitter hops and malty backdrop. Wash 'er down with a spicy Halal chicken over rice. With a nicely concealed 10% ABV, it will have you seeing more than double, think triple...

A wiser fella than myself once said you eat the bar, and sometimes, the bar eats you. I like your style, Dude.

What are you drinking?
