We taste several IPA's and discover some crazy flavors, Custard, Parmesean Cheese and Mustard Greens.

- Greg: 1. Saranac, 2. Storm Cloud, 3. Heavy Handed
- The Victory was spoiled, and the Blackheart was too good and too out of style to rank with the others.

Good show. As some people
Good show. As some people may have seen on the national news, Dallas got 11 inches of snow a few weeks ago and when that happened, the roof at the Rahr's brewery caved in. The damage was severe enough that their building was condemned and they are going to have to completely rebuild. I think most of the brewing equipment is fine, or at least salvageable. The good news is that they were fully insured so it is just a matter of how long it will take them to be back up and running, but I have heard it could be as soon as six weeks.
Here is a blog link from their website talking a little about what happened:

Bells...
You guys really need to taste Bell's Two-Hearted Ale again...these past couple of years, it's really gone downhill. They've reduced the hop flavor and it's become significantly thinner.
