http://www.newbelgium.com/Images/OurBeers/SpecialRelease/Loft/lofttext.jpg
Brewed with both wheat and barley malt, Loft delivers an uplifting zest, a taut hoppiness produced by Sterling and Liberty hops, and a mouth feel as big as the sky. Kaffir leaf is pitched in the kettle to create a pleasantly refreshing citric nose.

Kaffir is the leaf of a lime tree used primarily in Thai and Indian cuisines.

Full-flavored yet figure friendly – Loft weighs in at 118 calories per 12oz. serving. Loft pairs well with spicy Thai dishes, kite-flyin’ and backyard bocci ball. The name Loft pays tribute to alternative forms of energy like the wind power we use to operate our brewery. Loft Beer will be available in bottles and draft April through September.

Funny thing, I can't stand their beer. And it's not the flowery, pseudo-hippy marketing, either.

I've never met a beer I didn't like.

Comsic, Rhinelander. Rhinelander, Cosmic.

Deer piss with a pine air freshener chaser is not pleasant, no matter what kind of buzz it gives you.

[Abba-Dabba]

I would give my left nut for a Westvleteren Extra 8 right now. If someone could fly to Belguim pick me up a sixer at the monastery and be back by 8pm I would greatly appreciate it.

[Pants]

PBR, Miller Lite, Coors, Natty, Bud Light (Budweiser is aigh), Highlife all = Raiders.

[Pants]

Bah. What do you know.

Not much.

[Phobia]

omg - I've been a fan for a LONG time. Long before they were trendy. Went on a tour of their brewery in March. Good stuff.

Boulevard recently released this year's batch of Zon. I snatched up a sixer tonight. It's almost gone already. I'm smoking some wings and drinking Zon.

Huh? Are you in college or do you not own tastebuds?

Doesn't mean I don't drink that shit. Ramen noodle tastes like shit too...

Well, to be honest, it's mostly Fat Tire that I dislike. And, being in Colorado, it's a favorite at restaurants here. I'm more of a Pale Ale to IPA beer drinker.

Best (domestic) mini brewery I've ever come across. New Belgium is the standard by which I judge other brewers.

[Donger]

That's blasphemy. And, let me guess, you drain all the water out, don't you?

[Donger]

Best (domestic) mini brewery I've ever come across. New Belgium is the standard by which I judge other brewers.

Of course, this is subjective, but I rank Boulevard, Red Hook, Sierra Nevada, et al above them.

[Pants]

My dad bought me a sixer of Hefeweizen to try out a few days ago, I was surprised at how good it tatsed.

[CosmicPal]

Well, to be honest, it's mostly Fat Tire that I dislike.

Are you sure it's the taste of the beer you dislike? Or is it the local marketing that gets your taste buds?

I find it hard to believe you would be dissing a quality beer like Fat Tire. I mean, it's a pretty good beer- not the best, by all means, but still a pretty damn tasty beer.

[Donger]

Nah, Metrolike's right about the Ramen. It's complete crap. There's a reason it's only a nickel a pound.

Another water-drainer, I see.

[CosmicPal]

My dad bought me a sixer of Hefeweizen to try out a few days ago, I was surprised at how good it tatsed.

Kewl dad.

My dad never bought me beer.

[Pants]

That's blasphemy. And, let me guess, you drain all the water out, don't you?

No, but I have eaten it uncooked. On numerous occasions.

[Skip Towne]

I've never met a beer I didn't like.
Get some Grain Belt or Shafer. See if those change your mind.

[|Zach|]

I like getting the frozen pasta with meet or cheese in them. Throw some alfredo sauce in....yum. Ramen is over rated.

Oh no, it's not the marketing. That's the last thing on my mind while consuming a nice beer. With Fat Tire, it's the malt. Far too much for me. Do they have a less malty beer? I look for a IBU around 35+

[Donger]

I remember one time the fraternity cook made Ramen for lunch. I was livid. A significant portion of my monthly house bill was for food... we were paying a cook to prepare it... and lunch is a goddamned five cent meal I could've made in a minute?

Yeah, that didn't happen a second time.

I can understand your disdain after reading that sorry story.

[Donger]

No, but I have eaten it uncooked. On numerous occasions.

You'll be dead soon. You know that, right? It's on the label. Something about colon blockage.

[Abba-Dabba]

ROFL :spock: ROFL

I hate ramen in the plastic package, but the cup o'noddles I can handle

[CosmicPal]

Quite honestly, the worst beer I've had is PBR. But, my point is, you drink enough PBR in a setting, and you'll forget about the taste.

When I was in college, we used to save money by buying a six or a twelver of premium beer, and then a case of shit beer. After so many beers, you didn't care how bad it tasted.

[Pants]

You'll be dead soon. You know that, right? It's on the label. Something about colon blockage.

Shit tastes better uncooked, I swear.

[KC Jones]

Of course, this is subjective, but I rank Boulevard, Red Hook, Sierra Nevada, et al above them.

Those are 3 excellent breweries. Absolutely top notch. I'm not as big an IPA fan so that might explain our difference concerning New Belgium. I like lager and pilsners quite a bit more.

[Donger]

Shit tastes better uncooked, I swear.

That doesn't change the fact that you're going to die.

Wow, that's exactly what we do. My friend also makes his own.

Well, f*ck.

I'll drink a decent lager at an airport or restaurant when I travel, but I'll always favor a nice hoppy pale or IPA.

You wanna try a damn good alfredo recipe on the cheap...

1 stick butter
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups heavy cream
1/8 tsp black pepper
pinch salt
1/2 cup parmesan
12oz. fettuccine

Melt butter in sauce pan over med/high heat
Boil fettuccine
Add garlic, cream, pepper and salt and bring to a simmer.
Add parmesan and simmer for 8mins.
Add fettuccine and enjoy.

Yes, I'm a regular MArtha fuggin Stewart

[Donger]

So are you.

Not from an uncooked Ramen-induced intestinal blockage. I'm going to die on an aircraft. Well, maybe outside of it if it hits hard enough.

[Donger]

How am I going to die?

Car wreck.

[Baby Lee]

Quite honestly, the worst beer I've had is PBR.
Seriously, has anyone tried Rhinelander?

How about

1 block Ramen noodles

Take the packet
Crush the noodle block inside
Rip the packet open
Eat and enjoy

?

[Skip Towne]

Donger, have you moved recently? Hope, Ar? I didn't know anybody ever moved to Hope, Ar. Just away from it.

[Abba-Dabba]

Water is overrated.

Poosy. You're supposed to sprinkle the flavor packet on it as you go.

[Abba-Dabba]

Aha!! Gene Parmesan, at your service.

I don't know whether to laugh or be offended. I'll just pretend I don't hear you.

[Phobia]

ROFL

Quite honestly, the worst beer I've had is PBR.

I had heard PBR had improved lately, so I asked the 'tender for a shotglass full a couple months ago.

It was a far sight better than bud or miller, but I still wouldn't want to pay for it.

[CosmicPal]

Seriously, has anyone tried Rhinelander?

I've never heard of it, so I can't say I have.

[Pants]

Poosy. You're supposed to sprinkle the flavor packet on it as you go.

F*ck, I forgot to type that up. I do it a little differently though: I rip the little flavor packet open, empty it into the big packet containing the noodles and then shake it. The last few pinches of noodles are a bitch - too much flavor.

None of these meals have anything on my Eggs Scrambeled with cheese and hot dogs.

Why would you be offended?

[CosmicPal]

Car wreck.

That would be too obvious for him....

[Donger]

Donger, have you moved recently? Hope, Ar? I didn't know anybody ever moved to Hope, Ar. Just away from it.

I move around a lot.

[Phobia]

Okay, I need somebody to please acknowledge Boulevard has released Zon or I may be forced to start a thread about it.

[Donger]

That makes sense.

Why's that?

[CosmicPal]

I move around a lot.

When I was a kid growing up in OPKS, I was told the girl down the street used to get around a lot.

But, I never saw her go anywhere.

[Abba-Dabba]

Why would you be offended?

Cause I'm don't know what the hell you mean. Never heard of Gene Parmesan. OK, call me a clueless Martha fuggin Stewart.

[CosmicPal]

What if it's some sort of karmic retribution? Like I quit drinking and drugs, clean up my life... find Christ, get married, have a kid... and one night a drunk crosses the median and kills the lot of us?

Then that would suck.

Sorry, it is a private eye played by Martin Mull on Arrested Development. He had these elaborate [and ridiculous] disguises, and when he'd hear his name, he'd leap out of hiding or take part of his disguise off and announce himself loudly. I guess in an effort to impress people with what a good detective he could be.

Note to self: ixnay on the pop culture references when Saggy's around.

[CosmicPal]

If you can get a paramedic to scoop it into a bag for you, I suppose. I don't know why you'd want it.

'Cause he could probably sell it on ChiefsPlanet for a couple of bucks?

[Donger]

I've probably used up all my second chances in that area... either as a driver or passenger.

Then there's the whole karma twist thing I mentioned in that other post. So, there's a couple ways that could go.

Heh. Wouldn't be the first time I've predicted how someone would die:

1. Paternal Grandfather = hit by a car, circa 1976.
2. Maternal Grandmother = suicide, circa 1978.
3. Best Friend in HS = car wreck, circa 1990.

And I don't know you.

Well, when you mentioned Parmesan cheese in your recipe, that'd be when he leapt out and announced his presence.


Ugh - I guess you'd have to be there.

I think this is a jab. Is that a jab?
