state of Missouri is finally complete. We recieved six of their beers this week and will also be getting their seasonals and possibly a few new ones in 
months to come. This brewery has a nice reputation on many of the beer websites so it is sure to be a nice addition to the Dept. From Avery we recieved the IPA, a nice American version of the English classic. Hoppy and well-balanced. We also got in their White Rascal, a Belgian-style white ale and Ellie's Brown Ale, a nutty brown. These are the beers that come in six packs and there are three that come in
22oz bombers as well. These include the 
Hog Heaven, a barley-wine style ale that boasts a 96 rating on Ratebeer, one of their highest rated beers and one that I have tasted and thoroughly enjoyed in the past. Also the Reverand, a Belgian-style quadrupel and Salvation, a Belgian-style strong ale.We also finally recieved the two four-packs in the Canis Series from Flying Dog. I'm usually not too impressed by this brewery to be honest but I have heard that these are a whole new level for
them. I will have to check them out and see whether they live up to the advance billing. They include the Double Dog Pale Ale, which is a double pale ale that has a 97 rating on Ratebeer. That certainly has my attention. But even more impressive is the 98 rating that the Gonzo Imperial Porter gets. This beer is a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson, a man who appreciated good beer as much as anyone. As you can see, these are not in the same ballpark as the 18 rating that the Tire Bite Golden Ale is sporting.A few other things. We got back in Tennants Scottish Lager which had been out of the market for a few months, but the Budweiser distributer who picked it up got a very small amount. Also tomorrow we will be getting a new New Belgium mix 12 pack that includes a beer that is not available in six packs. So look for these things and as always, Happy Drinking!!

Do you know if you'll have the Collaboration not Litigation Ale when it comes out in February? I've really wanted to try it after hearing some great reviews.
about 6 or 7 years ago while in Boulder on business I had a free day and was hitting the numerous breweries in this great mountain town. I stopped in to Avery and didn't realize they didn't have a tasting room. I opened the front door and walked straight into an office. I asked the secretary if they had a tasting room and she said they didn't. One of the brewers happened to be in the office at the time and said, "We don't need no stikin tasting room, follow me." He proceeded to take me into the brewery, pull 5 or 6 22oz bombers from a refridgerator and we started drinking and discussing the beer. He was busy and didn't have to take the time to share his beer, and I didn't ask him to. He was passionate about his beer and wanted to share it with whomever, even a 28 year old beer geek who didn't know any better. You've got to love these guys!
