Really high quality beers. Very welcoming vibe too . . . they just love good beer. Far less of a scene than Krug, or to a lesser extent, Jakes.

Benson is a good time. They need a few more restaurants to catch up with the quality bars.

 
tried zipline's porter because the brewery sounded familiar from here. was tempted to get their ipa, but i'm on a porter kick. it was solid, but didn't meet the gold standard set by Deschutes. also got a banana bread beer that was just delicious. really captured the essence of banana bread and super smooth.

Tis the season for Christmas Ale

 
last winter i really liked lenie's vanilla snowdrift porter and shiner bock's cheer. this year they are both pretty bad, mostly because of their aftertaste (esp. the snowdrift porter). i suppose my palate is maturing? that sounds pretty douche-y, but my taste has definitely changed; although i still love just an ice-cold bud heavy.

Have you tried the Anchor Porter? It's harder to find than Anchor Steam but it is a great example of the style.

 
Has anyone ever tried Belhaven? It is a Scottish Ale... My old neighbor owns a liquor store and was telling me he got some in for a guy and the gentleman decided he didn't want it. It is pricey stuff at $13 a six pack. My wife is gonna be pissed but I think I am gonna give it a whirl.
