You are one cool chick, Cat. That's all. You flatter me, sir.

Cat, does Rogue distribute much where you guys live? They make a mocha porter that's probably in my top 10 all time beers. If you haven't tried it and happen to see it sometime I think that would be right up your alley.
For any of the PNW hop heads here, Pyramid has an imperial IPA called Ouburst that they just released as a spring seasonal. A lot like Sierra Nevada's Torpedo, this one packs a punch at 8.5% and a six pack only sets you back about 7 bucks. Seriously an awesome deal and it tastes amazing too. Perfect balance of hop bitter and citrus/herbal notes.

I think Rogue distributes everywhere. I'm fairly certain they're the largest craft beer company in America... and if not Number 1, they're certainly in the top 5. And if they're not there either... they should be!
(and no - Sam Adams is not a craft beer company)

Pea, I love Rogue. We drove down to Oregon last summer after Sasquatch to see the Rogue distillery. Their whiskey? Phenomenal.
Pittsburgh as well as GA sees a decent amount of Rogue pass on through, through. I do love their Mocha Porter, but my heart belongs to their hazelnut brown ale. I think they just renamed it the John John? If you haven't given that one a try, I would suggest it! I could drink that one for-everrr.

ah, my b.
Who knows--perhaps I've had too many John John's this morning to remember that convo.
Not true, but its Monday, so I wish.

Ahh I really need to try their whiskey! We almost got a bottle for new years but went with something else. And yea...I think I remember you mentioning that hazelnut one. That's one flavor that I just can't get along with haha.

(and no - Sam Adams is not a craft beer company) I'll agree as far as Sam Adams goes, and we can quibble about whether certain other breweries count, but [url=http://www.meta .com/80416/Largest-microbreweries-in-America] here's one list[/url].

Ahh, yes, now the convo is coming back to me. I understand. The hazelnut flavor is very subtle, though.
But yeah, get your hands on the whiskey for sure!

I'm not a fan of really any of Sam Adams' beers, but they single handedly saved a majority of the craft beer world from going under when hop prices spiked so they have my infinite respect.

EDIT: You figured it out.

Granville Island Brewery in BC makes this seasonal beer called Lyon's Winter Ale. They stop selling it in the spring, but I plan to keep a few reserve cases to specifically bring down to Sasquatch.

Nice! I'm always into winter ales, too. I like the subtle spiciness it has. Perfect to drink in the winter.

Winter warmers are the best. A good one feels like drinking a pint of cozy inebriation

Jubelale is one of my favorite winter warmers.
