Beers to Find for Show 54
The beers (yes, plural!) for the next show might be a little tough to scrape up, and one of them has no real viable alternative (don’t you just love beers like that?). Still, with some luck and perseverance, hopefully you’ll be drinking along. We’re talking:
Nøgne Ø India Pale Ale [alternatives: Stone IPA, Sierra Nevada Celebrationa Ale, Victory Hop Devil Ale]
and
Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse (Schneider version)[alternatives: sorry, dude...OK, maybe Aventinus Weizenbock, if you sprinke some fresh hops on top...]
The show will mark the return of a certain Friend of SoB, but I won’t say who it is, to maintain some semblance of suspense. Even though you probably guessed it already.

The Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse is really oustanding, I am sure it will be a great episode.

Is Eric back? That would so rock. I can hardly wait. Sure hope it doesn’t turn out to be Michael R WhatsHisFace, but then again he’s been on a lot lately so that wouldn’t have much surprise factor.

Hey Charlie, I used to live in AZ and then after graduating from North High School went to PA for college where I’ve taken some brewing classes and got to tour breweries and enjoy many a fine PA made beer (Victory being one of my favorites) and since being back in AZ I have not been able to find Victory anywhere around me :_( I’ve noticed you mentioned it a few times on your website and, being an AZ man yourself, I was wondering if you could recommend a good place to find this (along with a lot of the other ‘fancier’ beers you mention on your site).
Thanks,
Chris Shaw

CHRIS SHAW!!! Sorry man, you’re out of luck with Victory around here, at least for now. Talk to the guy at where ever you buy good beer and ask him/her if they can get it. Enough requests, and maybe something will happen.
