OK, I want to put in a plug here:
Last weekend, I pulled a tap at the Old Dominion Brew Festival n Ashburn VA. For 5 hours Sunday, I was filling people's glasses with River Horse, Our Special Ale, and Trippel Horse. I have got to say that, of the probably hundred different pale ales I have had, Riverhorse Special is easily the best. It's incredibly smooth and exquisitely well balanced between malt and hops, and rounded out perfectly with just a whisper of oak. It's a fantastic beer. Trippel Horse is their Belgian Style trippel, and it stacks up against any of the Belgians. It's got a nice, sweet front end, and a refreshingly dry back end. Light bodied, and packed full of all those neat esters and phenols that a good Belgian yeast will give you. I could pick up vanilla, plum, granny smith apple, and maybe a hint of clove.

I highly recommend this brewery to any beer lover: <a href="http://www.riverhorse.com/">River Horse</a>

Also, made the perfect boilermaker the other day, with all due respect to the trappist boilermaker discussed earlier:
11 oz <a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/great-divide-oak-aged-yeti-imperial-stout---/37652/">Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout</a>
2 oz Makers Mark Bourbon

Good Stuff!
