12 bottles of Green Chile Beer are now sitting in my fridge. I hope I can resist drinking them for the next 2 weeks.

Coolest person you know!
No idea what this tastes like, but can't wait to try! I'm bringing at least two 12 packs of Boulevard!
Since this has turned into a beer thread...
If any of you Georgia guys can deliver me some Sweetwater Georgia Brown Ale, or Sweetwater Blue, I'll gladly trade you for some of Colorado's finest.

I make my own, so can't really say what brands from South Texas are worth drinking, or that I am able to get anything that folks would appreciate in the rural area I live. Most folks around here drink bud, miller, and Shiner. I think Shiner now delivers all over and in most States, so can't even say that it's unique to South Texas anymore.
Brewed up a small pale ale recipe a few weeks ago. Tried it last night and it seems to be ok. It should be finished carbonating in a few days. If it finishes out properly I'll fill up a growler and keep on ice during the trip up. I'm assuming it's legal to transport home brew across state lines?

Doesn't Lonestar beer only sell in Texas? I've never had, but someone said you can only get it in Texas or something. Anything homemade will be awesome!
I know my favorite South Texas beer!! Brewhouse Brown from Real Ale Brewing. Again, if you'd be willing to haul a six pack of that, I'd be willing to trade..... or at least drink some of your homebrew!
No, I haven't. But I'll look for it.
I'll bring some of Tommyknocker's Butt Head Bock! Very yummy stuff!
And a few of Odell Milk Stout!
I had that first time seven years when I was traveling to Denver for work. The beer, the weather, the mountains, and two years later made the move here permanently.
Fat Tire is brewed right here on the Front Range. (Fort Collins Colorado) New Belgium has a ton of different varieties. Their 2 Below Winter Ale is probably my favorite.
You can buy Fat Tire at the grocery store. I can grab you some if their other stuff.... But honestly, it all kinda tastes like Fat Tire.
Funny. Just showed up down here and they are marketing it like its an independent brewery.

This beer at first tastes like any other decent Amber Ale. But then the hint of green chile flavor hits you a little ways into it and leaves you with a warm flavor and heat after you're done with the drink. Don't worry, it's not hot like actual chile. It just captures the essence of it.
And if you have no idea what I'm talking about with this green chile thing, it's a New Mexico thing. It's a chile pepper that is grown almost exclusively in the state. When it is roasted and chopped, it becomes an acceptable ingredient/condiment/relish for just about any food item. And if you pass through NM, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't get something with green chile on it. You can also find it in most restaurants in southern CO and a few places in the Denver area.
