I've heard very good things about Cigar City Brewing in FL. Haven't had any yet, but several friends of mine who are beer connoisseurs have said they make some really good stuff.


Yeah Cigar City is definitely worth checking out. You can only get their stuff in a handful of states so you ought to pick some up while you are there! If you like IPAs, their Humidor IPA is spectacular. You can't go wrong with most of their stuff.
Rapp Brewing, Proof Brewing and Funky Buddha Brewing are a few other good ones off the top of my head.

Will if I remember. Brother has a bottle collection so we should have all the bottles yet on the last day and i could make a list. Tbh I don't buy too much beer anymore with home brewing, but every now and again I do. Florida should fill that need for awhile :p gonna be expensive

Oh and in other news, dogfish head is coming back to Wisconsin

Try Avery and O'dells if your ever in Colorado, prob my 2 favorite breweries here and we have a lot. O'dells is probably a little better for normal 6-packs but Avery has some amazing bombers if you can get your hands on em like Maharaja and Reverend.

A man after my own heart. A fresh Maharaja on tap at that silly little industrial park/brewery is hard to beat. They always have some really fun small batch beers at the brewery. Avery will always hold a special place in my heart!

For me, it's all about seasonal for session drinking. I LOVE a good session beer. Nothing quite beats being outside with a really low abv beer in the middle of the day.
In the summer, you can't go wrong with a Festina Peche from DFH or an All Day IPA from Founders. At 5.3% it's a just barely over that 5% mark but Apricot Blonde from Dry Dock was a staple in the summer when I lived in Denver.
I don't drink too many session beers in the fall/winter because normally I am indoors and prefer to just sip on something a bit stronger. If I go skiing or something like that, I usually pack a Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. Malty and sweet but still only 4.7%.

You have any favorites?

i tend to go to blue moon in the summer for session. once in awhile ill throw in three floyd's gumballhead. in winter, blue moon probably is still my go-to, but i tend to try 6'ers of new beer more often.

i really like sweetwater 420 as session beer and its easily accessible.
hard to find great beers by me, really need to open up a brew store. there is one in our town but its so expensive. they are charging like 4.90 for like an 11% 12 oz brew.

thats insane.

i do drink pbr for session brews, dont judge me, damn hipsters are making that shit more expensive.

Drinking at my parents, I'll just drink bud light cause that's what they got for the most part. It is a lot cheaper too. Drinking all day craft beers gets expensive quick
