In Reply To #14 I actually didn't have any of the Shiner Hefe, I'm not a big fan of hefe's, however, when I did try it a few weeks ago, I found it to be bland, watery and tasting much like typical macro swill, rather than a hefeweizen.

Corzendonk Abbey Ale, Stone Ruination, Stone Arrogant Bastard, Anchor Porter. Nothing like good brews to celebrate the good ole U.S.ofA's b'day. Prior to the good brews, it was spent with great friends white-watering on the Hiwassee River in Tn. Beautiful!

In Reply To #13 I know what you mean Flash, I've had it out of the can and bottle and found the bottle to be better. I don't mind carrying out a few cans of rolling rock on the golf course though.

Same as PK.

In Reply To #18 What happened to the photo? Sadly I have not heard of any of those beers. Where did you get them from?

In Reply To #19 Oh, Boy! People, we have to educate this boy! He hasn't heard of Stone?!!!! He hasn't even heard of Anchor Porter?!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Stone is one of the best brewers in the world and Anchor is a classic. Please look these beers up. Private message me so we can work out some way to get you beer from these breweries. You are missing out big time.

In Reply To #20 I panicked too when I saw he hadn't heard of Stone yet too haha. No need to work out a trade, he's in MA, which has Anchor and Stone distribution. SC - Get yourself to Yankee Spirits in Sturbridge MA, they carry the whole line of Stone. Drink them. Drink them all. You will not be disappointed, as Stone is arguably the best brewery in the States.

In Reply To #19 I changed the photo several days ago. We were in Tennessee, camping on the Hiwassee River. We took a trip up to Smoky Mountain Brewery in Gatlinburg. Their Cherokee Red is AWESOME!!! Anyway, we stopped by a few stores on the way back to the campground. We picked up the Stones and the Corsendonk in Gatlinburg and found some others in Maryville.

Reply to 19 You like IPA's right??? You have to try the Ruination.

Never heard of Stone? I'd seen it mentioned on here several times, which is what prompted me to buy the Stone products to begin with. The Corsendonk was an Abbey Ale, a style I'd never tried and wanted to. The Anchor was an offering from a brother in arms, and gladly welcomed.
