I have explored those horizons and choose to stay where I am!

On the SABL: I remember reading what Drez posted on their site. A blend of 2-row (pils + pale ale malt?) and C60. You can tell that the beer is late-hopped although I don't know if it's dry-hopped. I also seem to remember someone saying that SABL is brewed with something that is similar (or a commercial version of...) 2206 Bavarian Lager. I wouldn't worry about the yeast as much as long as it was some sort of German strain. I've always been intrigued by the beer because it isn't really to any style... a hoppy, German-inspired amber lager. You generally don't see that and there's nothing about it that I don't like.

I want to try and blend some American hops like cascade with the Hallertau for shits and giggles.

 

if columbus works well with mt. hood I don't see why not.  I'm thinking of using my US hallertau for some american pale ales or IPAs.

Another good American/German blend is Cascade and Tettnanger.

Can you give an example of how you'd use both? I just happened to be envisioning an American Lager type beer.

German pils is great with a big late charge of hallertau

An Imperial German Pils sounds interesting
