The Great Micro-Brew Thread
OK, it's offseason for most of us. I know I tend to get some sampler packs and try some different brews in the winter time when it's not 95 every day and you have to drink a twelver of lite just to stay cool. So, post up the beers you've tried lately, old favorites, etc. along with your review and/or any stories that go with it. Good beer drinking is a God given right. Pics of the pack or bottle or mug would be cool too. So, let's enjoy some beer together (over 21 only).
The Great Micro-Brew Thread
Fellow beer snobs (what my wife calls me), I already love this thread. I tend to drink local brews so this may be skewed toward Texas beers for me, but I'll try most anything. Recently I've had:
Karbach Hopadillo - great IPA
Karbach Yule Shoot Your Eye Out - Christmas Ale, little heavy on the spices for me
Karbach Mother-In-Lager - dark lager, easy to drink
Karbach Weekend Warrior - American Pale Ale
Karbach Pumpkinator - nice pumpkin beer, not too spicy, high ABV
Karbach Roshambo - double (i think) IPA fermented with Belgian yeast, very good
Karbach Hopadillo Negro - black double IPA, loved it
Karbach Rodeo Clown - double IPA, one of my favorites
Santa Fe Black IPA - I like it, a little low in IBUs
Harpoon White IPA - easy drinking, not sure what I think
Sierra Nevada Celebration - fresh hope ale, one of my favorites every year
Sam Adams Oktoberfest - go to Oktoberfest
Founders Breakfast Stout - great stout
Breckinridge Vanilla Porter - probably my favorite porter
I know there are a few others I've had recently too. I'll consider and post again.

I pretty much like all of Left Hands brews, but their Milk Stout is my favorite. Had it on nitro a couple of times and then it is at its best.
That reminds me I had a couple of brews from Lakewood Brewing in the Dallas area recently too. Their Punkel, a pumpkin spiced dunkel, was prett good. Their Temptress, an imperial Milk Stout, was great. Nice flavor and mouthfeel. Definitely find that one if you are in the Dallas area.
