This tastes remarkably like key limes.

Don't let Kid Rock see it.

I love salty beers. I'd try that if I ever saw it.

I've been on a barrel aged stout kick lately but recently had Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale on tap. I haven't had it on tap at a good bar in ages and it was wonderful.

I bought a case of Celebration last week. It's not the be-all-and-end-all that it was in the early days of the craft beer revolution, but it's still a damned fine seasonal IPA.

I also got a four-pack of Teddie Peanut Butter Porter, and probably won't be able to find it again. Teddie is the world's best peanut butter, and Night Shift brews some fine beers, but you won't find either much past Boston.

I bought a 12 pack last week. It really is one of my favorite beers.

Took a photo in case I ever come across it to try.

If you like stouts, this is a good one. Very smooth and chocolatey.

Interestingly to me, I found out that there are exceptions to that rule. Korbel, a local bay area establishment, is grandfathered in and can label their sparkling wine as champagne.

I have been to their Napa facility, a long time ago. I believe I have seen others use the name so there must be some exceptions besides age. Maybe French owners.

There's a similar rule in Canada, but much more specific. Most Ontario wine comes from the Niagara region, and there's a specific type of dessert wine called an icewine. A local (to me) winery tried making an icewine but they were told because they weren't in the Niagara region, they couldn't call it an icewine.

Been drinking a lot of Sierra Nevada Celebration the last few weeks. I really appreciate a true West Coast IPA instead of all the hazy, sweet, fruity shit that passes as IPAs today.

Like egg nog, it's not something I'd drink every day, but it is a nice change of pace for the holiday season.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Germany has some kind of restriction on the use of that term.

I have now bought 2 twelve packs of Celebration and will buy a third or fourth. It really tastes good to get away from the citrus IPA’s for awhile. It is even better when I can get it on tap.
