And it goes down very smooth and refreshing, with a sweet citrus aftertaste. Very chugabble on a hot day, --which is a problem as it packs a stupefying 9.5% ABV.

I remember Utica Club, I just have to swing around in my office chair, and look out the window at the former Iroquois Brewing Co. Ceased operations in ‘78 if my memory is correct.

The BEST beer is any one I have in my hand at that moment.
Do, the stuff that buys me beer
Ray, the guy who sells me beer
Me, the guy who drinks the beer
Fa, the distance to my beer
So, I think I’ll have a beer
La, la la la la la beer
Ti, no thanks I’m drinking beer
And that’ll us back to *sees empty glass* D’OH!
I came down Highway 1 about six weeks ago. Was driving down the coast from Ilwaco, WA and went to the coast at Leggett. I thought about cutting over to Boonville, but continued south on 1 all the way to Tamalpais Valley Junction, then got back on 101 to home.
I’ve heard of Boont Amber Ale, but haven’t had it. I’ll look for it!
Every heard “Boontling” tongue?

Oh yeah. We used to go to the Utica Club brewery tour for free on their little trolley car. Took the family on a tour there in March but they no longer have the trolley and they now charge $20 per person for the tour. They still brew Utica Club, but it seems their focus is now on their Saranac products. Remember the Matts Beer Ball back in the day? They also brewed Billy Beer.
I’m surprised to see Genny Cream Ale there, too. It’s not that good.
AVBC recently repackaged their brews in 12-oz. cans, replacing their previous 12-oz. bottles. I picked up a six-pack box of the cans a few weeks ago. Identical high quality & taste as the bottled Ale.
Boontling: AVBC's website has a page explaining the dialect's history & brief etymology. Other than the examples in the embedded video there, I have not heard anyone speak Boontling; not at the brewery or anywhere else. Maybe we should sprinkle FR comments with a few phrases.
I enjoy a morning horn of zeese, using a mix of Jeremiah Pick's beans.
Bahl Hornin'! [since 1987]
Best beers ever.

An intermediate point between “grain” and “bourbon” is essentially “beer”.
