In this day and age, it's sooo hard. Probably the old standbys: Guinness Allagash White/Hoegaarden Franziskaner weiss Potential New classic: ---Bell's Official Hazy IPA Two business trips ago, I told my boss about the Untapped app. Now on every trip, he's constantly fiddling with it, taking...

Nice, dgray. Brings back memories of college in Philly (Temple, N. Broad St). Going to the Stop 'n' Stab (our name for the local deli) on the corner of Broad and Susquehanna. Often paired Colt with Rock 'n' Rye. If you want to feel fine in the morning, this combo is not advised.
