Rye beers are really hit and miss, that's cool you found a place that specializes in it. I've had some I've really liked and some I've hated. I gave one to Drew from Payette Brewing that I've never tried, and unfortunately for Drew he was the guinea pig.

Man if any of you are ever in Houston you HAVE to give me a ring for beers.

I like the Sweetgrass APA

Seeing Red-

I know now why I had "session IPA" on my mind. I had one stored in my garage that I hadn't tried yet. It was only 4% ABV, but it had a very nice flavor. It was nice and dry, hoppy aftertaste, but not bitter and not too citrusy. It was made by Sockeye. Have any of you ever had Sockeye? They have a Pale Ale that's pretty popular here in Idaho.

Never had Sockeye. The only session IPA I've ever had was Stone's Go-To and it was a punch in the mouth flavor wise. Definitely set the bar high for session brews for me.

Finally tried St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout... I love their Russian Imperial Stout but never picked up the oatmeal stout because it's only 6%. It is rated 100 on ratebeer and beeradvocate so I finally decided to buy a sixer. It's only 6% but it tastes a lot heavier than that, it is a really great tasting brew. I'm glad I picked it up and will again.

Saint Arnold Santo which is their spin on a Kolsch. It's tasty.

Finally found some of this again

Schlafly oatmeal Stout is growing on me. It's better than I original thought

I saw some new Sierra Nevada stuff at the store today but I went there to buy run for my wife and that's all I left with.

I'm craving a stout tonight. Unfortunately I'm not motivated enough to go to the store

Oh well. Doesn't hurt my feelings too bad.

I'm making a beer run down South this weekend, I am really hoping they have this. It's not always available in Great Falls.
