I’m with you on kolsches and doppelbocks. If I have three quads a year, that’s a lot. Read more

You and Takeout contributor John Carruthers share a love of Biker Jim’s. I’ll have to go next year. Read more

Yeah, that squares to me. If you like very botanical/herbal flavors, then I see the appeal.  Read more

Regarding beers bittered without hops—called gruits—have you ever had a good one? I truly haven’t.  Read more

I was surprised not a single brewer said saison! Read more

I think perhaps the gose trend is regional, a bit? I see lots of them in warmer climates but very few out here in Montana/the Rocky Mountain West. Read more

Brown ale lovers are statistically overrepresented among The Takeout’s readership and I love it. Read more

Is this the place with the confit duck ramen because if so, I definitely hit this place up 2 years ago and want to go back! Read more

Falling Rock is a must, and I actually did sneak away for a bit during last GABF to eat oysters at Stoic & Genuine while everyone else was chugging stouts and slamming tater tots. Sometimes a girl’s gotta treat herself.  Read more

I really hope I look like the Mary Jane type.  Read more

I love that place! They had a great chicken schnitzel sandwich, though I’m not sure whether it’s on the menu any more. Also, the mussels rule. I need to go back this year for sure. Read more

I went there last time I was in town! The pizza and wine selection were both great. Read more

Hops & Pie always had great GABF events! Thanks for the reminder. Read more
