Buy Bells!! Lets make it an OBVIOUS impact on their national sales numbers. Lets make sure they know it was a great idea to give us such a generous sponsorship. Buy Bells Brewery products, visit their website, pass the word along to discgolfers and non-discgolfers, family and friends. If they believe that we are strong market to go after, they will continue to support us, and help us garner interest from other cooperations. Lets not waste this opportunity. Besides , they have great products!!! Spread the word!!!!! Buy BELLS!!

mmm... two hearted.

Oberon...two hearted. Oberhearted.

I (over)did my part with their Doppelbock (times 9 or 10) last evening. B-U-R-P!

Nice...I bought 6 six packs since the new Oberon came out. Ummm, that was last tuesday around here.

home from total vino. expedition stout and two hearted for me this week, i'll probably just put the expedition away for the most part. (and 90 minute for poker at v.r.'s)

spring is my least fave time for new beers. (can't drink wheat beers)

my hops are growing like crazy though... this year's HHO brew-off promises to be sweet!!!

Buy Bell's!!!

i'm def. doing my part... would be nice to hear if they notice any increase in sales from this sponsorship. I'd think it'd be a big step for this sport actually supporting a non-dg related sponsor.

Cheers!

Happy Birthday stackajaweja.

happy day...

im doing what i can, at least 1 6er of any bells that comes through wholes. would do a lot more if hopslam was year-round

Absolutely! Bell's 'Oberon' is now my daily refreshment.

Been having a hard time finding Bells in my area, but I'll keep looking. I've had a couple at Uncle Joe's around Ice Bowl time, and they're always good.

I make it a point to pick up some Central Waters brew every time I'm up in the Marshfield area. Mudpuppy Porter on tap is a personal favorite!

I'm doing my part as well. GOOD STUFF!!!

Keef, have you been to the new Central Waters Brew Pub in Marshfield?
Nearly all their beers are offered on tap and the food is tremendous.

Yep. I was staying at the hotel across the street from it for the family reunion last summer. While eating at the hotel restaraunt, I notice the Central Waters Brewery sign through the window. Ended up taking my brothers and brother in law over there for a couple. Been back since then, great place! Haven't had the food yet though. Not sure what that says. ;)

tried the double cream stout yesterday- tasty- more of an actual stout than the kalamazoo.

I'm partial to the Java especially when on Tap

Hey everyone!
I know Bell's certainly does alot for disc in Michigan, and we appreciate their products!
Without Bell's, this year's Worlds wouldn't be the same...

<font color="blue">Come to Kalamazoo for a day and enjoy Championship courses. While you're here, make sure you stop into Bells Eccentric Cafe, downtown Kzoo, for a delicious beer and talk about birdies for a while. </font> <font color="orange"> The </font><font color="green"> beer garden</font><font color="orange"> will soon be open...that means clear nights, great live shows, and awesome beer. </font>
Support Bells and thanks for supporting Disc Golf!

BUY BELLS&gt; I DID AGAIN LAST NIGHT&gt;

I bought some Two Hearted Ale couple of weeks ago and I got a 6'er of Double Cream Stout last night. Tasty.

The wheat and amber ale are both very good! Had some tonight.

had some Bell's the other night @ a local restaurant owned by a disc golfer here in Charlotte...

http://www.zadajanes.com/

if anyone finds themselves in Charlotte they should stop in for some Bells and some great grub!!!

KEEP Supporting!!!

Are you doing your part?

almost every night! :)

...in a few weeks, I'll rid them of some of those tasty Ale's..

Double Cream Stout &amp; Two Hearted last night. I should be a gold-level sponsor with as much of their product as I consume!

true that... me too.

Hopslam rocks. 2hearted rocks harder. T minus 3 hours to 2 pints of Oberon.

6 of Oberon purchased on Monday, Wednesday and today. I have people visiting. I swear. I did squeeze in a six of madHaTTer.

off to total wine now for some double cream stout and two-hearted.

Oberon- right now :)

Gold medal in the "Brown Porter" category in the 2008 World Beer Cup. Congrats, Bell's!

WOW, had a full house this weekend for the Azalea tournament! Glad to say that the Bells was a flowing!

REALlyy starting to like the Two Hearted smooth

W3rd. It has replaced Anchor Liberty Ale as my favorite everyday swillin' beer.

And for the sensitive fisherman, artiste's among us one of the coolest labels around. :D:cool:

Two Hearted (near perfection, as usual) &amp; Porter (a little thin &amp; sweet for my taste, but a true-to-style brown porter) last night.

Expedition Stout tonight. Fantastic!!!

Tried to Support last night but they were out of Two Hearted until today. That's a good sign though

celebrated 1 year cigarette-free lifestyle with some Sparkling Ale. Whoo-Ahh! :cool:

Nice! It's been 8 years for me. How many Ales is that worth? :D

I smoked a pack a day from 1990-1994. 5 full years of Marlboro reds, then quit cold turkey. :cool:

i smoked 2 packs a day of filters or one of camel unfiltered and quit cold turkey as well- that was 1986 or so. helped a lot to make a bet on it with someone i didn't like a whole lot- pride and competitiveness overcame addiction.

I'll drink a Two Hearted for you guys. I chewed Kodiak for 15 yrs and quit cold turkey 3 yrs ago and now can't stand the smell of the schnit

i will likely drink a two-hearted for me too this evening.

Will be CELEbraTing a Bachelor Party tonight with lots of Two Hearted and SolSUN

i have to admit that i was a little skeptical about just how good bells beer was hyped up to be. i figure people here might embellish a little just because of the worlds sponsorship. not that sponsorship isn't a fine reason to support them, but it'd be huge bonus if the beer was decent as well.

i finally got to try some two-hearted this weekend when melt gibson brought some up from VA. it definitely lived up to the hype. i haven't been able to find it in baltimore yet though i do frequent some shops that will put just about anyone else's selection to shame. so i asked about it. the one guy at my local shop said he has had it and loved it. it's just not distributed here yet, but he suspects it will be soon and they will be getting it.

what is it with fish on beer bottles and the beer being very good?

those first 2 fish are my 2 go-to's currently. do you guys have total wine stores in harm city? if so, they have bell's.

can't get it in the dirTTy Jerz, either.

would buy some if i could.

:(

This one's pretty good, too.

http://byo.com/images/inside/odellcutthroatlabel.jpg

The Two Hearted is a river in the upper peninsula of Michigan made famous by Hemingway...

Two hearted is good; Hopslam is excellent; and Expedition Stout is my favorite beer of all time. I was moving last weekend and saw that I am down to my last three bottles of the 2006 Expedition... sadness.

Glad there is plenty of the 2007 on the shelf to last through the year. :)

The two beers I stockpile the deepest are the Expedition Stout and the Victory Old Horizontal... ah, happy beer.

i wrote a paper on "big two hearted river" years ago in my days as an english major. hemingway was always a favorite.

expedition is def one of the best beers of all time

i may need to make a trip across the sahara soon

<font color="blue"> [deleted due to personal attack] </font>

I love IPA's. I was saddened to see that the closest Bells Brewery products to me is in southwest MO!(386 miles)

http://www.bellsbeer.com/index.php/beerfinder.html

I was elated to see that there are 3 places to purchase it in Deerfield Beach, FL.....which is where i'm headed in 6 days!

Memorial day weekend. Who will you Support.

i will be supporting bells by going to their beer garden

NICE&gt;

Two hearted along with a Imperial Kashmir will mos def be in my kayak this weekend

Two hearted will mos def be in my kayak this weekend



Was thinking the exact same thing! Hope I can find some here in the big city and not have to drive into WS. Where ya paddling?

Go n up to Julian Price. Lake paddlin but better then noth'n. I forgot to give you a few when I was up there. I know how hard it is for you backwoods folks to get away from your Newcastles in the can

Haven't been to Price in a long time. Pretty there. Headed to the Dan with Stank. Perfect weather...... :cool:

Nice. Enjoy it Buddy and say What up to Stack. We need to plan a trip soon

With some Bells beer of course

i supported the sponsor today with a cherry wheat and a double brown and an oberon. not to mention the to brats i ate while in their beer garden....

KEEP supporting!!!!!!
It would be incredible to see the impact we as discgolfers had on their year sales compared to next. Well, if they dont sponsor next year. By the way, any chance we can get them a link to this thread, so they can see that we care.

serious support at the virginia open over the weekend- lots of folks with 2 hearted.

Awesome. Biscoe, ever had 'tri-pepper' ale. I believe that was the name. I had it at a brewery in Madison Wi. Not very good, but fun to try. I believe it was Jap, Hab, and chili.

never had that one- i have had a habanero wine and the cave creek chili beer- both pretty much sucked.

Cave Creek Chili Beer is absolutely undrinkable. Shall I enlighten your palate with my chipotle porter at HH in the fall? Still deciding what to brew for the "non-over-the-top" division. :D

i don't know- "chipotle porter" doesn't sound too accessible. (sound good to me though- i should have smoked peppers in mid-august.)

no insight from REAL?

I was in FL last week and had the opportunity to try some of Belle's Two Hearted Ale. It was YUMMY! Thanks for the recommendation!

Nice...Keep supporting.

I want some !

I was in FL last week and had the opportunity to try some of Belle's Two Hearted Ale. It was YUMMY! Thanks for the recommendation!



That's one of my favorites and I'm SOOOO happy that its now available down here. When I moved here 2 years ago there was no Bells in FL...You've got to try Oberon, its the best imo.

hate to say it but oberon sucks this year. its been going downhill for a few years now hopefully they can turn it around...i love the solsun...

I have not tried, nor seen, the solsun

nor have I, can't comment on the oberon as wheat beer makes me ill but someone whose opinion i respect liked it not at all this year- others have said it's great.

two hearted remains my fave but hopslam, double cream stout, expedition stout, and the kalamazoo stout (tasty but a little thin) are all worthy.

my local total wine store has a weekly deal where they offer tastings of 5 various beers on fridays- this week i have gotten them to add the old coast ale (think that's right).

solsun is what oberon was called before it was oberon.....but like i said oberon has been in a steady decline for the past few years, i assume because their producing so much of it now that the quality of the ingredients has gone slightly down...

son you never had the solsun

oh yes i did, at the ripe old age of 18 or 19....

look at the lawsuit it was changed in 95 or 96 i believe

i miss good oberon though

Friday night. Who is gonna support?

Got another sixer of Two Hearted for Casheville weekend eventhough I'm going to microbrew heaven

I remember the dayz of the Solsun Memorial tourney, what fun glo rounds if you were still standng

The Solsun memorial was my first tournament ever...not many stand up to that one. I made it through 2 glow rounds...

picked up a 6'r of Oberon @ trader joes.... mmmmm

finally tried the thrid coast old ale after being put off by the price for a long time (talked them into doing a tasting of it at my local total wine store)- wow! thick and yummy!

havent had the 3rd coast yet but great idea about the tasting... might have to see if I can con our total wine into doing that!

btw... can't do the bell's tonight... drinking some iron city to support the Penguins!!!

GO PENS!

so much for that... back to the Bells!

Two hearted last night.

Why was this thread moved?
They are sponsoring our Worlds!! As far as I'm concerned, it should be on every thread. Links have been sent to the Bell's brewery. I am sure they have been watching the threads progress, and are a little ______ about it being moved to the bottom.

2hearted last night.

oberon again tonight... looks like oberon = bad luck for the penguins... oops

and thanks to the powers that be for moving this thread back!

Bells... WE LOVE YOU!

mmm bells

ill be supporting the sponsor all weekend with two hearted/oberon/kzoo stout and all while wearing my bells hat

BUY BELL'S!

Very warm weekend. Cool down with some Bell's!!!!!!

Good old fashioned Bell's Pale Ale last night, punctuated with an occasional Dogfish Head ImmortAle. Very nicely balanced &amp; just delicious.

? best beer for hot pepper consumption? Stouts?

http://www.bellsbeer.com/admin/Uploads/Products/1_8_Amber_Ale_Label.png

Did a little research and amber ales/red and amber lagers are said to be best.

ring of fire by dragonmead

just got done with a couple hours of 'research' and some Bells Amber Ale and confirmed what I found on the web... they go together quite well.

btw... hadn't noticed this before but is there usually a bit of sediment in bells bottled beers? its almost like a homebrew... stuff floating around.

i believe they are generally unfiltered.

off to total wine for this weekend's bell's allotment, helping those who help us!

picked up 12 more Two Hearted last night

nother 6'er of Amber

i saw alot of support at am nats this weekend

Oberon - still a mainstay in my fridge.

BUT . . . I tried HOPSLAM and LOVED it!
I loved it a little too much.
Does anyone know the APV?
OY VAY!

roughly 10% i believe.

Sipping on some delicious Expedition Stout. Supporting the Sponsor.

thought it might be cool to see what people think... whats your favorite and post why (and please post if you've had the 7000 or 8000!)

i've tried 11 of them at this point and i think the 2 hearted edges the hopslam for my favorite, not that any of the others were bad. i think bell's does about as well maintaining quality across their entire line of product as any brewery. most have 1-2 really good ones and a number that are so-so.

i'm more of an ipa drinker than anything else and the 2 hearted has a great balance of the hoppy and malty.

haven't seen the 7000 or 8000.

ive had them all including batch 7k and 8k. but hopselam and expidetion are tops.....

When does the 7k and 8k come out.

When does the 7k and 8k come out.



They were only brewed once. Look for 9k next, not sure when though.

yeah... 7 &amp; 8K are were the 7000th and 8000th batches. They were specially made as a one time only batch. Waiting of the 9000 but not holding my breath about being able to try any... maybe a special release for worlds?! Call it Hyzer Bomb or something like that?

bells currently has a special batch of bourbon barrel aged cherry stout. pungent fo sho!
My fav of all times was Deb's Red, a smooth finish red ale celebrating socialism in the united state government. word.

The big porch ale is worth finding as well, a mild amber with a hop-punch. avail at meijer.

drink bells, support disc golf

For the Carolina/Virginia/GA (and wherever else they have stores) peeps... just found/bought Bells @ Harris Teeter! 6'er of Oberon for 8.99 6'er of 2 hearted for 9.99

supporting the sponsor a 6 pack at a time

WOW!!!
I check Harris Teeter everyday. I have told the guy to get on it!!!

Wow I've had 16 of them fine taste n brews. However, some were over ten years ago. I agree with Biscoe about 2 hearted and being an IPA drinker. However a little Java Cherry mix is nice. Have had Batch 7000 and 8000

Westside has it at Lowes

They've just started showing up here in the hinterlands so I haven't had the opportunity to try the "non-export" varieties ;), but I'm loving the Two Hearted and Amber. :cool:

WOW!!!
I check Harris Teeter everyday. I have told the guy to get on it!!!



yeah man... every time i go into a Harris Teeter i've put it on the list of products to add w/ the wine/beer guy or the manager... so far i've hit 5 or 6 (including the Taj Ma Teeter) but havent noticed if any of the others are carrying it yet. They had a good supply on the shelf at the one I went to (Arboretum)

supported with 2 &lt;3'd last night!

Baking Expedition Stout cupcakes tonite for BB's birthday. Will report back tomorrow . . .

Delicious. Extremely fudgy (maybe even too much so) with a nice background stoutiness. Mmmmmmmm........

yep- quite delish.

Delicious. Extremely fudgy (maybe even too much so) with a nice background stoutiness. Mmmmmmmm........



Nice veg! Way to think outside the box! I've done a kalamazoo stout/rosted garlic marinade for a beef shoulder, what other Bells food recipies have you all tried?

good stuff... never thought i'd see this posted on the msg bard to a bunch of guys but... can you post the recipe

(ok... i could imagine someone saying that but not when beer was the special ingredient... at least its BEER right?)

supported w/ a few more oberons last night

Keep pumping the BELL's boys.

No Bell's within 100 miles of Knoxville. :(

I just tried Two-Hearted for the first time.
Loved it!
If I was limited to drinking beer from only one brewery, Bell's would certainly be in the running!

will be pickn up a case of two hearted for the High Country

OBERON

will be pickn up a case of two hearted for the High Country



Two Hearted Case = THC = The High Country = Good Times!!!!!

have fun at the THC, and drink some Bells for the hippie while you are there

Will do Catawba River Buddy! Stop dropping "R" bombs! :D

going west... with bells in the cooler

OK people, Lets make a final push before worlds.

oberon for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Bells... i know its been a while. I was on the west coast and it was hard to find you out there but I'm back ... and I dont know how to say this but... I LOVE YOU BELLS!!

OH-BEER-ON!!!!

I love a good Java Stout for breakfast or desert.

I brought a case of Oberon from Lansing, MI out east to the Vibram Open and shared some at league last night.

New Englander's are impressed!

Had two pints of Oberon at the Northside Tavern (Zip 45223) today.

Two Hearted Ale here is my favorite, although I'm a big Bock fan and love the Consecrator Doppelbock.

Two Hearted!!!!

had k-zoo stout last night though... tasty as well although not really that "stout"- almost more "porterish."

I myself am partial to the Double Cream Stout

My friend was supposed to come up with us for Worlds and backed out before he realized it was sponsored by Bells...

Almost considered the divorce he would have caused by changing his mind and cancelling the family vacation.

His only reasoning for considering the change was his love for the double cream stout :eek:

Oberon wins

wow jessie how many times do you need to tell us that oberon is your favorite, this is at least the third.....we know already. now if you want to tell us how you bought 8 cases last week then feel free...

Every time that I have been the Eccentric Cafe (Bell's Downtown Tap House) they have had the Double Cream Stout in bottles.

The on tap beers rotate.

I wondering if they will have something special on tap for the weekend. Bell's Birdie Ale?

hopslam worlds edition!

Larry Bell, to our knowledge, won't be introducing anything new...you savage hounds would run him dry of a new brew in a matter of hours.
Instead, enjoy the Beer Garden in all it's glory and fountains of hopdrops from heaven.

solsun!

My liver is getting excited to see all of that wonderful beer flowing.

Ive been in the Northeast, and have not seen a single BElls beer!!! boooo

double cream stout last night

2hearted at the saucer, oberon in the fridge

2hearted in the gut, Oberon down the drain

i'm with brad on that one.

I would, too, except that I spent all last weekend swilling Miller Lite (the horror . . .) &amp; have lost all beer-geek cred.

I'll have to make sure to put a "good ale" rider in my contract when I cater these pig pickin's. :D

homebrewing tonight... making a pumkin spice for a friend but might try a 2 hearted recipe i've found

anyone else here brew?... yahn, bs, biscoe, ray?

and sorry for the ignorance about you ray but if you are a vegan do you have to watch what beers you drink or try to have only beers following the rienhietzgbot standards?

not me- i grow the hops- vegan ray does the brewing...

I do brew occasionally, and have a Two Hearted clone on my todo list for next week (getting ready for HHO brewing contest).

Vegans do have to do some research as to what agents are used in the brewing process. Lactose, egg albumin, &amp; isinglass (fish bladder) are relatively common brewing adjuncts &amp; there are some less commonly used non-vegan beer ingredients, as well. I have never run into a case where a brewery (home, small, or huge) is unwilling to disclose the vegan-ness of its ingredients, and I guess if I did, they'd deserve boycotting anyway.

PETA also publishes a white paper detailing "approved" &amp; "non-approved" breweries, but I would rather gorge on a dozen baby harp seals than support those self-righteous prigs in even the tiniest way.

HILARIOUS!

btw... pm me your 2 hearted recipe if you dont mind... i'd like to compare w/ what i've got. I can pm you mine if you want.

Forgot about the HHO brew contest... Kyle was mentioning that here in Charlotte. He's getting ready! :)

Stubbs, are you REALLY SURE that Bells won't be brewin' something special for Worlds?
Mr. Feldberg got me going with his "Worlds Hopslam" post.
I've been drooling for a few days now at the beautiful thought of a custom disc golf brew....

Nuf'n better the paddling with a couple cold 2hearts and watchn the sunset yesterday.

shh... don't tell anyone but i'm still drinking Bells and lovin' it!!! ;)
