Meh...I'm not down with the Blithering Idiot. It's a barley wine...not my bag, baby. I like their (Weyerbacker) Double Simcoe IPA a lot. They make a decent stout too called "old heathen".

1. on draft: Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye.
OMG. This is a delicious hoppy beer with a super long malty finish. I could have had 10... and yes, it's brewed with rye.
2. on cask: Re Ale Extra.
Hard to follow #1 but this had a great smell and much milder hop flavor. had some interesting spice notes but wasn't overwhelming. I guess it's a saison?
#2 was probably the best italian beer I've ever had. which is not saying much when you consider peroni and birra moretti.
I'm gonna say it here: just about every non-beer country (you know: the ones that aren't germany, belgium, usa, GB, Czech, etc.) has what I like to call a "shitty foreign beer". vaguely lagery, fizzy, skunky and mediocre by any measure. I'm talking your japanese, italian, french, and the like.
I still can't believe we found an awesome microbrew in Bali, Indonesia.

I will be in ST. Louis this week.
I will most likely be checking out this place:
http://www.ciceros-stl.com/weekly-draft-beers
Let me know if there is anything on the draft list that you guys HIGHLY recommend, or if anybody from the St. Louis area would like to stop out and drink a beer, on me.
I'll probably try the Unibroue Terrible, I've had Trois Pistoles and loved it...but never had the Terrible.
Also never had Shiner Bock which I've only heard about on this forum.
I'll probably have Bell's Hopslam or Southern Tier UnEarthly, cause I like that stuff.
I might try (cause I've never had) Schlafly Coffee Stout, and Left Hand Milk Stout.
