Been another good week, drank a bunch of things but the standouts
Lindemans Faro Lambic
This was great! Not super sweet, not overly sour...just a nice beer by them that I'd strongly suggest
Stone Smoked Porter
Always a good beer to enjoy. Had this Christmas day with some friends. Always a nice one!
Williamsburg Aleworkds - Springhouse Saison Ale
This was actually a nice tasting beer, not really 'european' style in regard to Saisons, but good for an American offering
Ithica - Quad Anniversary 12
Ahhh, another nice one. Dark fruits and not overly booze. Beware though it sneaks up on ya!
And my favorite of the past week:
Nebraska Brewing - Fat Head Barley Wine (aged in Whiskey barrels)
WOW. THis beer is HUUUGE. Big time whiskey flavor, awesome english style barleywine. VERY boozy yet, so I may buy another to sit for a year or 2 to see if it cools off...however I'm not sure if I could wait on this it's so good.

Be very careful when cleaning them too as any scratches with breed bacteria. No scotchbrites or other abrasive pads. Eventually you will want to replace them with glass carboys.

Most certainly! 'Over sanitation' is key with beer. Certainly wine and mead and similar type things require clean stuff as well, but nearly to the degree of beer.
However do remember that some bacteria is ok
I love my funky beers!
