Wow, no pumpkin or cranberry beers, nor even beers from Turkey? 😉
I’m happy to see a Metropolitan beer in there since I know Doug (saw him at FoBAB briefly too, though he was a little… fuzzier… than you and I).
German alts are a bit rare, but I’ll point out that there are at least THREE of the Uerige ones — Alt, Sticke Alt and Doppelsticke (at least I THINK that’s still an alt, technically).
I had the JW Lee’s Harvest ale after dinner and was pleasantly surprised. I had tried a few American barleywines (Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot) and wasn’t a fan and have avoided the style since, but the JW Lee’s was very tasty. I will have to look for more of the English barleywines.
I forgot that I wanted to follow up a few weeks back, but when I stopped for beers on my way back home for Thanksgiving, I just happened to stumble across the Freigeist Bierkultur (it’s a side project of Braustelle I guess) “Hoppeditz” Doppelsticke Alt, so there’s one more Alt you might find over here (I found it in Wisconsin; not sure it’s available in Illinois).
