I've already reviewed the previous Full Sail Limited, 01 here. This one is Full Sail Limited 02 is another lager that's been brought back temporarily. It was initially brewed as a seasonal spring ale last year. This is definitely a lager; it's a pale golden amber in color. Slight note of hops in the finish, but mostly I noticed that slightly sweet taste. It's very drinkable, and went remarkably well with a burger. It's made with 2-Row pale malt, wheat malt, caramel malt, Vienna malt, and Stryian Goldings Hops. Alcohol by volume is 6.4%. I've been enjoying this one for over a month, and, as it's a Spring seasonal, I suspect it may be replaced soon. I'd suggest grabbing a six pack while you can. Read more

The video linked above is a collaboration between the producer, Greg Koch, the CEO of the Stone Brewing Company and Jared of Redtail Meadia, and 35 or so craft beer brewers from all over the United States. It was sown at the 2009 Craft Brewers' conference. There's a line in the video where one of the brewers observes that a hundred years ago there were more than 3,000 craft brewers in the U. S. According to the Brewer's Association, there were 65 Regional Craft Breweries in the U. S. in 2008, 446 Microbreweries, and 990 Brewpubs for a total of 1,501 Craft Breweries. Read more
