Hey this is suprisingly good beer!

So, has anyone else tried any good beers lately?

Since being back at my apartment in Boston I've been trying my hand with the local micro brews (the Shaws a block down from me keeps them on a weekly sale rotation).

Nothing of great note except maybe Shipyard export is a nice tasting ale, though not amongst the best.

On the import front I've enjoyed two German brews. The first is Beck's. A nice smooth beer, you know exactly what you're getting with this big name export. I've also enjoyed St. Pauli Girl from Germany. A bit lighter, but a nice beer to have while having a BBQ.

In the New England Area I must say Blackhook (hard to get your hands on, I had to go direct to the brewery) from the folks out at Redhook provided a delightful alternative to Guiness.

A word of warning: Stay away from JW Dundee's Honey Brown! I decided to try it, being suckered in by Shaw's low price. Its a full body beer, but with a very odd aftertaste. Its a nice idea to try honey, but its definitely not my cup of tea ;) .

Cheers,
