Not a hell or high watermelon fan. Was excited to try but didn't live up

I'll stick with my Firestone Walker Wookie Jack and Deschutes Fresh Squeezed for tonight's celebration

@LoudenSwain Admittedly, it's not as good as I thought, I would've preferred more watermelon flavor. But it's still pretty good IMO and I'd probably get it again. I think my favorite fruit beer is Shock Top Honeycrisp Apple Wheat.

Garbrandt, Cammozi, Stephens and Caraway were honestly the easiest dogs picks for me to make.

Stephens, I never pick against an Iowa guy. Ever. Growing up in the town where Stephens did I know the type of mongoloids that crawl out of there.

Cammozi, I never pick a fight for someone over 36 unless its Hendo or Couture. Personal rule.

Garbrandt because of his amateur boxing background and his elite wrestling background that never gets mentioned. I just didn't like how much Almeida gets tagged.

Caraway, I just didn't understand how Sterling was ranked so high IMO. Great young fighter, just I think he was a little too high too soon.

Dtrain some of the Apple brews are nice and light for summer. There's a nice upcoming spot around my way 'Tired Hands' that had a nice one. 

I was in Delaware the past few days and had another (forget names, seasonal not staple beers there) at dogfish head brewery

I don't really get into ciders but these were Apple beers that were light and smooth. Both reasonable alcohol % too nice 6-7 range so you can still rip 10 or so and can get say with telling the old lady I had 3

Try Sculpin G****fruit. It's bomb fruit beer. Their Pineapple is a let down tho

@LoudenSwain Thanks for the heads-up, I'll try and keep an eye out for that G****fruit beer. Another watermelon beer I tried was the Ballast Point Watermelon Dorado. It's a double IPA that's pretty damn strong (I think about 10% alcohol). I'm a fan of a good apple beer too.

I revived the Tapology Beer thread and outlined some of the ones I enjoyed on there.

@Follow The Money I prefer Shock Top's Belgian White for that reason. Blue Moon's not bad, but it's pretty strong taste-wise. Shock Top's a more bit toned down version.
