First off, thanks for the reply.I would have to agree with you that it could be called a “stepping stone” and I realize that not everyone likes the big hoppy beers.The whole point in my “opinionated” style, is to get discussions started. As you know, there are plenty of sites that just rate beer in a “technical” fashion. Not here, this site is to get out the reasons why we do or don’t like a particular beer or style of beer. This is a place to let out your feelings, or, opinions as the case may be. So, again, thanks for the comment, that is what it is all about!Oh, I would imagine that you are right about Long Hammer on draught, beer from a keg is always the BEST! There goes that opinion thing again!
