Two very good choices. I really enjoy both of them.

I think the 1554 is one of the better dark beers you could have at a BBQ. Not that you should resign yourself to lighter styles in hot weather, but when it's 95 degrees, most will reach for something more refreshing. I think the 1554 has those nice malty, chocolatey flavors while still being very refreshing and -- dare I say it -- drinkable.

I've had just one bottle of Three Philosophers, but I really enjoyed it. I need to pick it up again.

Three Philosophers is easily my favorite beer. I've yet to find something that tops it. Its just so damn expensive! But a high alcohol content without the burn, a rich coffee flavor with a hint of chocolate and a little spice afternote...wonderful stuff.

If you're into stouts though, I'd also highly recomend the Bell's double cream stout in the winter;and Harviestoun's Old Engine Oil and Spaten's Optimator year round if you ever find them.

I've had the Double Cream Stout, but I fear I may have gotten a bad batch. Mine was a bit sour, and apparently Bell's is currently having some issues with soured batches. I'm willing to give it another shot, as I like everything else I've had of theirs. Two Hearted Ale is my favorite IPA, and Hopslam is very good if you can get it.

I haven't had the Harviestoun's, but I'll look for it. I do like Optimator, though. Good Doppelbock, and it's nice that you can get it at most Harris Teeters or Lowe's Foods now.

The Brooklyn lager is always a pretty decent choice for summer. Brooklyn Brewing turns out a lot of really good beers. I've got a Brooklyn Sorachi Ace in my fridge right now that I've been waiting to try. It's their new saison that features the Sorachi Ace hop, which has a nice lemon character. Should be interesting.

I haven't had the Session Black, but I do like a good black lager. I'll look for that one, too.

Anyone know where I can get some good sampler packs? My beer horizons are pretty low right now, pretty much limited to Yuengling and Blue Moon. Tips?

You guys can look into Sam Adams sampler packs. I would assume they have their summer 12-pack out right now. Most Sam Adams beers are very solid examples of their respective styles, and a good entry into the craft beer world.

Also, if you have a Total Wine nearby you might consider picking up a Great Lakes sampler pack. They are a brewery out of Cleveland that, like Sam Adams, makes some really solid beers. The 12-pack I bought contained a pale ale, an amber lager, a dortmunder lager, and a porter. If I'm not mistaken, none of those beers are ranked lower than an A- on the Beer Advocate site (which is also a great place to read up on a beer before you plunk down the money on something you may or may not like).

Oh, and Trader Joe's has some privately-labeled beers that are really pretty decent, especially considering most of them are $1 a bottle. I like the Vienna lager, the Hefeweizen, the Dunkelweizen and most of all the Stockyard Oatmeal Stout. There you can mix your own six-pack and not worry if you don't like one or two of them, because they're so cheap.

When branching out, don't be afraid to try new styles. When I first got into craft beer, I hated really bitter beers, like IPAs. I gravitated more toward the darker, maltier beers, like porters and stouts. But I've heard of others preferring the bitter stuff right off the bat.

Also, if you're not digging some of these other styles right away, consider finding a craft lager. Chances are, that's what you've been drinking (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc.). Instead of trying a new style, you might like to start by finding a craft version of a style you're used to and then comparing the two beers.

Your tastes will definitely change if you stick with it. Now, there's not a style I dislike. The flavors found in beer really run the gamut and it's more of a complex beverage than most realize. I sincerely believe there is a beer out there for everybody.

Nothing wrong with those choices at all. If you like Blue Moon, you might consider trying another Witbier. Hoegaarden is a pretty decent choice that can be found at most grocery stores. It's more expensive than Blue Moon, but it's a much better beer (again, I'm not knocking Blue Moon here). Allagash White is another very good Witbier.

    • Since its release in the early 1990s, QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 has grown to become the highest rated and most popular accounting software solution for small businesses. QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 helps businesses effectively manage their inventory, sales and payroll and offers a host of other important items for smaller businesses when it comes to their financial records. However, like any software program, there is always room for user error and there are some common errors that every QuickBooks user should be aware of. This article explores 10 of the most common errors that QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 users make. The list includes setup errors (e.g. using too many accounts and sub-accounts), procedural errors (e.g. using the Write Checks window to pay payroll taxes) and other errors such as not regularly checking the balance sheet statement and not exploring third party options that expand the capabilities of QuickBooks. Here is a list of the 10 most common QuickBooks reporting errors and how to avoid them: 1. Not Setting Sales Tax Preferences If sales tax is owed on items that a business sells, the sales tax preferences must be set up in QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 to keep the records accurate. To set sales tax preferences, go to Edit—Preferences—Sales Tax icon—Company Preferences—Owe Sales Tax and then choose either As of Invoice Date or Upon Receipt of payment. 2. Not Reconciling Accounts To ensure the business account register is correct, accounts must be regularly reconciled. This includes checking and savings accounts, loans, taxes and more. To reconcile an account, open the Banking section, click on Reconcile, then enter statement dates and end balances. After each item in the Checks and Payments column is checked off, the bottom right corner should read zero.  3. Writing a Check Without Entering a Bill When a bill arrives, some business owners imply use the Write Check feature to pay the bill. The first step when a new bill arrives should be to enter the bill in the Enter Bills window. This creates an accounts payable. Then, go to Pay Bills and indicate the bill you want to pay. This takes care of the accounts payable for that vendor and allows you to use QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 to properly manage your cash flow and plan for future expenses. 4. Using the Write Checks Window to Pay Payroll Taxes As payroll is processed, QuickBooks reporting software keeps track of how much payroll tax the business owes and records that amount in the Payroll Liabilities window. However, if payrolls taxes are paid in the Write Checks window, the amount paid will not be properly deducted from the Payroll Liabilities window. Paying these payroll taxes directly in the Pay Liability window will make the proper deductions and keep the books straight. 5. Not Reviewing P&L and Balance Sheet Statements These statements give valuable information about the health of the business and can help catch errors before they become costly mistakes. These valuable statements should be reviewed regularly. 6. Too Many Accounts and Sub-Accounts One benefit of QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 financial reporting software is the ability to create accounts and further organize them into sub-accounts. Think carefully about the logical ordering of account information but try to group things into as few categories as possible to avoid complicating the system. 7. Entering a Bill or Writing a Check for Loan Payments Many business owners use the Enter a Bill or the Write a Check windows to make loan payments each month. A better strategy is to go to Banking—Loan Manager—Set Up a New Loan. After following the directions to set up the loan, the next step is to click the Set Up Payment option. Once this is in place, QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 reporting will automatically enter the payment each month and also keep track of the principle and interest. 8. Skipping the Receive Payments Step When money comes in, many QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 users go right to the Make Deposits screen. However, it should first be recorded in the Receive Payments window so the invoice will be shown as paid. 9. Not Backing Up the Data It’s best to plan for the unexpected. In this case, that would be a computer crash that wipes out the QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 reporting files. Business QuickBooks files should be backed up at the end of each day they are used. 10. Not Expanding QuickBooks’s Capabilities There are many apps, add-ons and consolidation software that work to expand the capabilities of QuickBooks reporting. These can help with more complex needs such as preparing consolidated financial reports. For businesses with extra needs, it is wise to look into other software that will help you get the most out of QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438.
