More fall beers
As I posted last week, Fall beers rock. I went by Total Wine to see if they had any more Dogfish Head Punkin (I have been 0 for 3--I should have been there on release day or gone to Grand Cru and asked for a special order) the limited run is over, so if you can find some go for it.
I picked a promising mixed six:
Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale
Blue Moon Pumpkin
Dogtoberfest
Red Hook Late Harvest
Midas Touch
Franzikaner Dunkel
The first one was a very solid pumpkin ale. You get the expected malty beer with pumpkin pie spice flavor. It is a little watery, but very good, totally acceptable, and for the price, forget about it. Guess who makes it? Old AB, in between batches of Bud Light, has made an interesting, drinkable beer. Who would have thought?

Well, I've always liked AB's Amber Bock. And if I am in my favorite bar here in Wilkesboro, which only serves AB products (apparently their posters have sexier babes), I'll plunk for the Ultra, even though I am not sure what the point of Ultra is.
Friday I went down to Total Wine and bought up about 7 bottles of red stuff, each from a diff country. It's the traveler's equivalent of window shopping.

Michelob seems to be the label AB is trying out the new beers under. Amber Bock, unfortunately, still has a rice flavor to me. Plus, it was more like a brown ale than a bock from what I remember (of course, I tried it after Young's Double Chocolate Stout, so that might be biasing me)
Btw, since you have a Total Wine up there, you should try Ayinger's lineup.

Actually, Tia already got some of the Ayinger. Good stuff. I think we have one more bottle left.
Ambere Bock probably IS more of a brown ale, but a good brown ale among Amereican mass produced malt-like products is a good thing!
