Do you like the craft beer movement but are stunned by the prices? Costco might have the answer. A TDE reader tells me you can pick up a case of Kirkland craft beer for $20. Not bad, not bad at all. Of course, I don't know how it tastes, but Kirkland has a reputation for making quality at a low price.

You like mint with your beer? Me neither, but one review says the new Stone Mint Imperial Stout is "fantastic." "I did not have huge expectations for a mint-flavored drink, but this beer, brewed with fresh mint leaves and chocolate made in southern California, is fantastic."

I never listened the Grateful Dead while growing up, but I started appreciating their music more about five years ago (I decided to try their American Beauty after the last TV episode of Freaks and Geeks, which revolved around a couple of teenage girls deciding to become dead heads for a summer). Anyway, there's now a beer dedicated to them:

Delaware's Dogfish Head Craft Brewery has been jammin' out on musically inspired beers for the past few years, each containing unique ingredients that reflect the music or history of a particular artist.

The brewery just announced their latest tune-tribute brew, an Imperial Pale Ale called American Beauty (named after the Dead album), crafted to pay tribute to the Grateful Dead.
