Caleb,

Think of the two tastings as a Gravity Head Primer. You have to have do some "training" before Gravity Head anyway to build yourself up and get into fighting shape.

Rogue Dead Guy

Considering it is a "Maibock" made with the Rogue pacman ale yeast, Im not sure what the germanic qualities are. Really good beer, I just think it needs the same parenthtical qualifiers as the Razz Wheat.

Great looking list.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am not really in the "beer" loop (although I love Belgians). What is Gravity Head? Can someone provide somke details. This might warrant a seperate post. Thanks. DD

yeh, the dead guy is a stretch, but Rogue list it as a "german style" maibock

GRAVITY HEAD
a festivalic collection of high gravity beers served under the roof of the NABC
on Feb 29

confirmed with my beer rep
we're down for the 27th

good beer, free samples, and great pizza

and maybe i'll round up a few good cheeses and/or chocolates for a little excitement

beer me

stop by tonight and enjoy some classic European fermented delicacies
and a few American interpretations of said delicacies
i am still trying to cross the bridge to obtain some decent cheeses, but we will see what the day holds

I am looking forward to attending tonight. See you in a little while.

Shawn, we had looked forward to joining you this evening, but I got stuck at home with a new foster dog. Fresh off the track and didn't want to leave him at home alone so soon after arriving. Hope you had a greyt turnout and hope you'll do it again in the near future.

Thanks again Shawn for a nice time. We enjoyed the samples and the pizza. I had never had beer over ice cream and I also had never had Chocolate Stout mixed with Lindemanns either. Both were good.
