Yeah, I'm brewing a Belgian IPA for a friend in a few weeks.

I also brew cream ales quite often for others. I don't particularly enjoy the style much myself, but whenever I bring beers around with the jockey box, the cream ale is always the most popular, so it is also the beer I have brewed the most in the past year or so (about 40 gallons).

So far everyone has liked 3 of my beers, MLPA, MLPA Light, Cream Ale. I didn't even try and serve them Denny's RIPA.That being said, when I was in the keys, after a long day fishing or lobstering, some coronas or miller lights went down the gullet like nobodies business. I don't think I would have enjoyed my homebrew as much as I did those light lagers. I just needed something cold, light, super easy drinking, and plentiful. BMC does a great job at that.Cheers,Rich

My SWMBO is VERY slowly starting to come to the craft beer side of things. She likes my Black Dog Cream Ale and most the wheats I make. I'm getting ready to head to the river for a camping/float trip and like BewbieBrewer, I'm going to most likely want something from the BMC lineup. But when sitting around the fire at night, I'll be wanting something from the craft beer world. I doubt I haul a keg of Black Dog Cream Ale to a camping trip so it will be something commerical.And since there are some many canned craft brews available today, my choices are many! Moose Drool, Schlafly Summer Lager, Ska beers, Caldera, etc....choices, choices!
