slapsot- I worked in Minn/St Paul a year ago for a month, had some great micros up there. I love the Surly Furious. Oh yeah!

Surly is a tremendous asset for MN. I have one more bottle of their Darkness in my basement waiting for a special occasion. Looking forward to the brewpub they're talking about building.

So I took a chance last night and ordered a tuna burger that I was hoping was the cause of my original gout attack. Polished off the tuna burger and have not felt anything in my foot or toe. Unfortunately, it officially means that I've identified my gout trigger as beer. I can drink wine with no issues but man do I miss those IPAs.

There's a glut of gluten-free beers on the market now, so get on the brewers/food scientists to create a purine-free beer.


Sorry about the beer, Mik. I would give up tuna over beer any day. Myself, I've been drinking a lot of 21st Am lately. Heading down to Disneyland in the morning for my daughter's bday. Hopefully they'll have a good IPA on tap somewhere.

One can only hope purine-free beer is around the corner!

Got 2 of each. Less than $5.50. God I love a deal

Purine? Is that coming from the hops?

think from the yeast so might try filtered brews.

[bad_call]

yeast also used in wine but wine is filtered for clarity where beer usually isn't (as filtered if at all).

time to look into a micron filter for beer that you can use at home or out at the pub?

I like your thinking buddy.

Just went to Total Wine the other day and spent about an hour just looking at all the choices I had. I've never been able to buy individual 12oz bottles of beer in CA but here in NV I guess it's all good.

I ended up getting:
Lagunitas IPA
Dogfish Head 60 and 90 Minute, My Antonia
Uinta Hop Notch
Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale
Widmer Drifter Pale Ale
Kona Fire Rock Pale Ale

I drank Hop Notch yesterday while watching the Lebron flow his way past the Knicks. Not bad but not particularly memorable.

I also saw a 12 pack of Shocktop Raspberry Wheat at Total Wine which brought back memories of my buddy's recent bachelor party. 2 guys brought 12 packs of the stuff and I just shook my head. They all seemed to enjoy it which left the Sierra Nevada all to myself.

I have a new favorite beer: "Shift" by New Belgium. This stuff is killer. It's a lager that's brewed with a west coast hop profile. It's almost like a lager version of Ranger IPA. Comes in 16oz cans.

enjoyed NB Fat Tire and Ranger IPA tripping out west. had Inversion IPA that is quite tasty and not so hoppy which appeals to a broader audience.

Anyone try any of Buffalo Bill's Brewery beverages? Alimony Ale and Blueberry Gout are new brews at our carryout.

Don't know if it's been posted yet but over the weekend I heard from a Lagunitas employee that they are opening a huge brewing facility and tasting room on Chicago's near Southwest side. Lagunitas distributed east of the Rockies will be brewed here. It's a former steel factory with 57-foot ceilings. Set to open summer/fall of next year. I hope the world doesn't end in December.

^ might try unbleached paper (brown colored) coffee filters. if it works then very cheap and easy.

btw - back from tripping out west and drinking some western beers that are unavailable locally.

My wife just came back from San Francisco with 4 bottles of Pliny - bottled 4/30/2012 - and, stupidly, I have them all earmarked to be traded away. 3 day old Pliny!

Wow, it would be hard for me to part with the nectar of the gods known as Pliny the Elder.

Don't know if any of you are stout fans, but if you can find some southern tier Blackwater series brews its worth a go. They have an oatmeal stout that you can buy now, but they also make one called creme brulee that is amazing.

Move along. Nothing to see here, folks. We'll all just act like you never posted this, Douggo. You never received any Pliny. Your wife brought back 4 bottles of Sierra Nevada.

I would certainly enjoy at least one bottle. I'm spoiled now, as my fave restaurant down the street always has it in stock.

Anyone else tried Dogfish Sah'Tea? Another one of their ancient beers based on 9th or 10th century Finnish brew. I had one on tap the other night and it reminded me of Midas Touch. Lots of herbal/banana notes, almost Belgian in style (has that Belgian yeast taste) and very drinkable.
