Food Thread: Memorial Day Beer [Beerslinger]

This Memorial Day weekend we are free to drink and brew great beers thanks to all of those who made the big sacrifice.
Here's a feel good story about a WWII soldier, his helmet, and beer in Belgium.

Vincent Speranza, a former infantryman machine gunner with the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment during WWII, inspects an M249 machine gun weapon system during an installation visit Oct. 6, 2013, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Speranza was at the base to visit paratroopers with the 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, and to be a special guest at their regimental ball. Jeffrey Smith/U.S. Army

For those here who don't like beer, there's always kittehs and turntables....

Green Flash East Village Pilsner is a full bodied and somewhat hoppy Czech style pilsner, 5.3%, CA.

Downeast Cider House's 'Hard Honey' may well be the best cider I've ever had. 5.1% They're out of Massachusetts.

Stone scrapped its Ruination recipe and have come back with a bigger, better imperial IPA with their Ruination 2.0 series. It's divine. CA, 8.5%

Grapefruit Sculpin by Ballast Point in CA is ridiculously good. If you like IPAs, and you like Sculpin, then you really need to try this beer. 7%

Sometimes it takes a beer to face the press...Hillary Clinton answers questions at Smuttynose Brewery in New Hampshire...

Anyone else around here had any good beers recently?
