Figured as much. Maybe now Coors Light drinkers can get a buzz on?

I had to pull a string and owe a favor to get this as they are small production and don't have enough product to sell kegs to the public. Public gets cans only.
But this is one of the top DIPAs on the market.
Even snooty Beer Advocate gives it a 90 out of 100 which is hard to do.
I'd rank this above Heady Topper. More on par with the Troegs brothers Nimble Giant which is another amazing brew!

Have a sixer of Anchor Steam Christmas from this year and it tastes terrible.
After being completely underwhelmed the last couple of seasons, I didn't buy any this year. The Christmas Ale used to be one of the best seasonal brews out there.
We can't get Alaskan Brewery beer here, but we are on an Alaskan cruise in May and hope to get my hands on some of their smoked porter. Anybody tried this?

New Belgiums entry into the HPA brews, upon popping the cap you get that Danky
Skunky aroma, upon releasing this upon ones taste buds you get the bite of a good IPA only thing is a smooth taste going down and no after taste. 7% ABV nice Carmel color with a smooth silky head yep this one wets the whistle. I feel like going through my Grateful Dead collection to pick out some tunes for tonight's listening session.

Black & Tan time here, digging that Black & Tan glass where did you get it? If your enjoying one tonight here's to you.

Had a couple of these last night. Easy on palette with a hint of smoke

Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.

You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you!
Addy please!

This Peanut Butter Porter is pretty good.
Lagunitas Lucky 13. My favorite red ale, it's a big beer at 8.8 ABV
Founders Imperial Stout. 10.5 ABV Not bad for a bottled Stout.
You only get one shot at life...drink the good stuff.
I will once I drop the weight. Will treat myself!
Moderation my man, moderation.
That's my problem, have trouble with that...lol.
Hey! Now there's an idea!

Prost!
I'll be brewing a stout soon. So once that's ready for consumption, the black and tans will be flowing.
I found a good dessert beer that I like as much as Southern Tier's Creme Brûlée
No kidding, this tastes exactly like apple pie.
Still not a fan of Brett...
