    Unbeknownst to me, New Belgium Brewing is not available in Pennsylvania. However, while lounging in Walt Disney World last week, I grabbed a couple beers for the missus and myself while the lads splashed around in the pool. I had heard of Fat Tire, had never tried it, and am a fan of amber ales. Damn, yummy yummy in my tummy.

    And yes, I posted a picture of it in cans because, well, being poolside they weren't serving it in bottles. All good to me, either way.

    ------------

    Oh, and for the GoT fans out there, Valar Morghulis has been released into the wild.

    Tried some good beer over the last few weeks:

    Vunderbar Pilsner by Smuttynose
    Peeper Ale by Maine Beer Co.
    Opal by Firestone Walker
    Coffee Milk Stout by Stone
    The Fear by Flying Dog
    Pumpkin Ale by Schlafly
    Oktoberfest by Port City
    Schwartz Bier by Devils Backbone

    All delicious. Not so good for my wallet and stomach, though :D

    Grabbed a variety sixpack of seasonal beers from Weis yesterday. Tried Yuengling's Oktoberfest, and although it was pretty good, it left a nasty aftertaste.

    I had some yesterday. I liked it, dry and malty. Very smooth.

    If anyone is passing through Nashua, New Hampshire, friends just opened a craft beer store there and they are selling it.

    Their first GOT, fire and blood, was very good. Never could find the second one, the iron throne

    Same. That's the only one I haven't tried.

    F&B was their third one. Iron Throne was first, followed by Take the Black Stout.

    I think ...

    Smokey? Bitter? Metallic? Please clarify.

    Well, the word "nasty" aptly describes the bottle I had a couple nights ago. I think the best description I can come up with would be: "left a skunky-ish after-taste without tasting skunky."

    Kind of bitter, I guess, but maybe like @Dr. Wankler said, a skunky taste might be the best description.

    Regular Yuengling Lager sometimes has a whiff of skunkiness to it, but it'll taste just fine. I'd say at least 1-2 per case. But this was the first time I've had some palette-aftereffects when drinking anything from them.

    Yeah the Guinness Blonde is really good, I find that I enjoy it better on draft rather than bottled. I need to find me some backwoods bastard though
