BuzzersonKillwell Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I had Lagunitas Fusion 18 (10% Imperial IPA) earlier today, it was excellent. Incredible floral aroma, not overly sweet and it finished a little bitter. That brewery pumps out such good beer. I had it at a Lagunitas night and thought it was good but a little thin maybe. Hid the 10% really well though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventureIsOutThere Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 The breakfast stout is incredible. It's a great conversation I get to have with customers whenever they buy a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcohenour Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So I ran by the liquor store today and they had 6 packs of Tetley's English Ale in the pint cans on sale for 1.49 for a six pack. I bought a case. This will be a great beer over the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atwater Vanilla Java Porter is great. It's one of my go-to beers. I grabbed five sixers of it. I also love the Shorts Huma Lupa Licious, which is another one that's in the regular rotation. I will definitely report back. The Arcadia Shipwreck Porter is bourbon-barrel aged. Looking forward to all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpitts Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Also got the scoop from my buddy in Richmond that my Hardywood Gingerbread Stout should be on it's way next weekend. They are getting ready to release their Bourbon GBS (Gingerbread Stout) and he is going to try to score me some of that before he ships the box.

Sounds pretty cool, just looked and a bunch of places really close by have it, even some that I frequent every now and then. Might have to check it out one of these times I'm out.

MahPah Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Lately I've been hooked on Drake's Denogginzer. Very good beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Picked up a 4 pack of Bourbon County Stout, 4 pack of the Barleywine, 2 bottles Coffee, and the Backyard Rye. Still searching for more.... Nice! I only picked up the Stout - money was a bit tight. Out here we only got the standard and the Barleywine, so I didn't have many options either way. Given how late I made it to the liquor store, I was happy enough with just that! Apparently Total Wine was flying through their cases. Probably gonna have one or two in the next few weeks, and cellar the others until next year's release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up finding three more four packs of the regular BCS and one more bottle of barleywine. All the stores had such limited quantity of the variants and were sold out almost immediately. Will definitely sit on most of the regular, still have 7 bottles of the 2012 aging. Awesome that you were able to find some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome that you were able to find some! That's pretty awesome. I've been trying to get my hands on some from past years, though I haven't had much luck. (Managed to find it at Whole Foods once, randomly!) I'm definitely thinking of calling around locally and seeing if anybody has the barleywine left. The more I read online, the more intrigued I am.

I also have a couple bottles of King Henry, but those might be a bit harder to come off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Because you guys hyped them up so much, I had my sisters boyfriends pick me up a 6 pack of the Founders Backwoods Bastard Scotch Ale and a 4 pack of the Founders Breakfast stout from the bar he works at! He's gonna send them home with my sister this weekend. I can't wait to try em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaxcowboyx Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 by the way, while all of you are thinking about beer, check out http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/360144380/haw-river-farmhouse-ales-craft-brewing-in-rural-nc Really great people making insanely good beer, and in my mind, doing the whole kickstarter thing the right way. The brewery itself is already funded through other means, and slated to open soon. They decided to use kickstarter to do/buy some really neat/environmentally friendly things that a small, start-up brewery would normally have to overlook. Plus, that video is ridiculous, and who doesn't love a ridiculous video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give a more in-depth overview of it later but I am regretting only picking up two four-packs. I will be grabbing more when I am back in MI next Friday. Also, you can't go wrong with the Breakfast Stout. It is one of my favorite beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Today is the 80th anniversary of prohibition being lifted.

You should include no pants in your night. I will follow suit with beer celebrations. Maybe pop open my Prairie finally. with no pants. hippielauryn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydmsix Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Schlafly Tasmanian IPA is fucking delicious. If you've had and enjoy Zombie Dust from Three Floyd's you will very much enjoy this, fairly comparable. imaxcowboyx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartender told me it's easily his favorite beer, so naturally I had to try it and I'm glad I did. Anyone find it in the Philly area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
