Me neither! That was the original goal for the trip but now with the Alchemist spot opening we're going to hit both.

 

Oh my god. This sounds like a joke, but it's 100% real. Budweiser is rebranding their beer as "America" from now until the election

Budweiser renames beer 'America' this summer

 

..... wat

 

So does Bud Light change to America Light or....

That is one of the silliest decisions I have ever heard of

 

hahaha that is so stupid.

 

I love it.

 

Why are we talking about Budweiser? Did I stumble into The Water Thread?

 

Nailed it ^

 

That reminds me -- my school has a dry campus policy (ridiculous) and if I ever get caught drinking Bud i'm just gonna say it's water haha

 

I'm hype for some Americas all summer

 

I've been talking about this with my girlfriend, haha. I think this summer we're planning a Philly trip because the combo of history and beer appeals to me greatly, but I also want to do a VT/New England trip.

 

It looks like maybe the Budweiser change is only until the election in November?

 

"I'm gonna go shotgun 12oz of ice cold America"

"You're going to have to excuse my friend, he had a little too much America tonight ."

 

Yep you are correct.

 

That makes a little more sense then, but still terrible.

 

yeah i said that in my post!!@!!@@!@!@!@!@!!

 

Fantastic.

 

I'm gonna be spending lots of money on America this summer.

 

If Budweiser is going with the America theme, I'm surprised Molson hasn't bombarded our TV's with, "Come with us if you want to live."

 

Tonight's beer.

 

I had Ninkasi's Tricerahops Double IPA over the weekend. One of the better ones I've had.

 

There's a pizza place here that has that on tap and I get it every time I'm there. Really good one. I grabbed the IPA box at the store today. Has like 4 different Ninkasi IPAs, including two I've never had, I'm excited.

 

Haven't seen Ninkasi on tap around here but I always keep an eye out for it. Dawn of the Red is solid. That was my first intro to Ninkasi.

The IPA box must be a recent trend. I've picked up 2 recently - one from Heavy Seas and the other from Starr Hill. Starr Hill has a Lemon Lime IPA that rivals Deschutes' Fresh Squeezed.

 

I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

 

It's part of their Four Kings sampler. Also included are their Habanero and Grapefruit variants. I'm not big on grapefruit but the habanero was interesting.
