Technically red wine should be served at 65 degrees.  I doubt any liquor stores in Oklahoma set their thermostat that low...

I don't think the "adult Capri Sun" boxes in my house are ever under 68 degrees.  ;)

OK, I stand corrected, but my point was, the brewery had a refrigeration requirement that Oklahoma by law could not comply with.  So no NBB beers for Oklahoma.

I wasn't trying to prove you wrong necessarily, I just wanted to show exactly how ridiculous the law is.

NBB has been able to work around the issue with other states/counties but not Oklahoma!

As far as Belgium style brews, I really like Ommegang.  Their Farmhouse Hennepin is one of my favs right now.  I also like their Three Philosophers brew.

I guess I saw the picture of the mound of whatever that was and blacked out from the chest pains and totally forget it was even a part of this thread.

Why?

It probably is because I have had to drink the 3.2 version my whole life, and when I finally had the chance to taste what the real deal tasted like. It ruined me on buying the Okie watered down stuff.

Oh the hell with it ! It's most likely because I cant have it so it makes me want it all the more.

Yep, that happened to me as well living down in Texas.

I will drink Boulevard wheat when I'm working around the house and a beer sounds good, or occasionally a Coors "yellow belly" if I'm meeting friends out.  It's more or less water for us serious drinkers  ;D

With all the driving trips I made out of state last year, I kept bringing back Fat Tire and other NB products.  Finally though, I just kind of lost my taste for Fat Tire.  It's got somewhat of a sunflower seed note to me.  Santa Fe seems to have more of a full body to it.  Don't get me wrong, I'll gladly bring it back as gifts and won't turn one down if offered, it's just not a primary brew for me anymore.  My tastes seem to change a few times a year anyhow.

Yep, I know the feeling.

Except for Sundown Wheat, though.  That never gets old for me.  Guess I will have to go out this evening and get the Nut Brown and see what all this hoop-la is.

;D

I thought you'd already tried that.  Their IPA, Porter, and Happy Camper (canned IPA) are all pretty good brews and an attractive price point.  I think Collins has all varieties as well as Ranch Acres.

Nope, not yet.

Of the NBB offerings, a buddy of mine, after I had told him I had just got back from Kansas, had told me he liked the NBB 1554 a little better.  I may have to split FT and this 1554, which BA notes as a Belgian Dark Ale with an ABV of about 5.6.  Sounds tasty.  Next roadie...

And it's a terrible sacrifice, but one I feel obligated to.
