You guys ever hear of Mack beer? I should have grabbed some when I was at their brewery earlier this month but didn't know how it would manage the trip back home.
Anyone here a beer advocate?

I haven't heard of it. Where's the brewery located?
Seems expensive. Lol. When I bought beer last week, I saw a 6-pack of their Big Eye IPA. And I could not find the price on the shelves. So I asked a clerk how much it was. I was thinking around $11 or $12 which would have been fine. The 6-pack ended up being $14.99.....Pumped to try this

Yeah lol It's definitely overprice on the east coast. A great IPA, but not worth that price.. especially considering it won't be super fresh.
Tromsø, Norway. It's on the far northern coast. Reviews say it's horrible but I'm thinking it's probably their Budweiser or Miller equivalent. Not craft or anything but as they say..."when in Rome." Maybe I'll grab a glass when I go back.

I bought a 6-pack of the Torpedo and another 12-pack of the Boston Lager. the Sculpin IPA is priced at $17.99. I didn't think about buying it. Lol. And the Troegs Nugget Nectar wasn't available. I'll try to go this Thursday to a bar that has it.

It probably tastes better in Norway than imported .

Had a couple of these this weekend.
Sierra Nevada is bringing out a 4 pack IPA blend. I'm gonna keep my eye open. Otherwise, I'm gonna pull some strings in Chico with some old friends to export it to Washington.

I say splurge for the Sculpin at some point if you can tell if it's fresh. It truly is a world class IPA. However, if you can't tell old it is, don't even bother. I've actually never had Big Eye. I've heard it's pretty good... but it definitely wouldn't surprise me if Torpedo is better.
Do you mean like, an actual app for BA? I just started using their mobile website. I had never tried it before up until now.
I was hoping to be able to find these. For some reason, I never see their variety packs. I missed out on their last Beer Camp pack.
I did however have thier Olivia Quad last week on draft. It was pretty damn good.

One of these days, I'll get an expensive beer. Lol.
Yep. And for the price, the Torpedo beats it.
The 'app' is a beta for now which is used by the mobile's web browser. Here's a link: http://beeradvocate.com/m

Yep... that's what I just started using. Like yesterday lol Useful for when I'm in stores looking up beers
My liquor store does not have any Bell's beer. So I have yet to taste any.
Blame your state. No Bells in New Jersey. Or anywhere in the northeast really. Not sure how far you're from PA, but that's your only chance of getting some.
Bellls has easily become one of my favorite breweries. Dare I say my favorite. It's basically a toss up with them and Founders.
