Ugh, my phone screwed up and I just deleted my whole post by accident. Anyway, to sum up:
@Malroth, definitely check out Orlando Brewing. The Blackwater Porters, Pale Ale, Olde Pelican, and Pompous Ass are all excellent. And if there is any way you can and would be willing to ship me a bottle or two of the Mint Chocolate Girl Stout, I would gladly pay you!!
Thanks guys for Orlando Brewing tip. If I make it there and remember I will look for the girl stout. (why didn't you recommend this for me )
No clue if they have tours or a bar but I really liked this IPA. Had it in Florida two weeks ago.
They do tours and they do have a taproom. When I was there, the brewery wasn't very big so the tour wasn't much to see, but the owner was quite informative and you could tell he's extremely passionate about his work. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but the taproom bartenders were willing volunteers and did not make salary (he pays everyone in beer) but he does allow tips, so tip well! He actually knew my small hometown of Cumberland, MD. He's originally from Youngstown, OH and used to go to Deep Creek Lake nearby.
Yeah, same here. I'll never stop loving pale ales and IPAs. Really loving the new hazy IPA trend lately...very good stuff. But yeah, definitely starting to get into the stouts....luckily all the Goose Island bourbon county stouts are pretty easy to find in the Chicago area.
Had my first bourbon county of the year the other night....a very good batch this year! I'm slowly becoming a stout guy....
A few others have said this already, but I’ve always been an “all IPA, all the time” kind of guy. Lately I’m really appreciating some good stouts though. Had some Goose Island bourbon barrel over the weekend...wow. Picked up some Founders Breakfast Stout and its pretty damn amazing as well.

Left Hand Milk Stout on Nitro is one that comes to mind - always so, so good.

That Founders Breakfast Stout is my Go To. My favorite out there.
Basement project is finally done. Will be enjoying many craft beers down here. Going to put a TV in the corner eventually...and plenty of wall space to put up some more PJ posters.

I'm going to guess it's some thing the hipster millenials have convinced themselves is necessary. Looks like a place that would have an organic vegan menu as well.

It seems they dig meat so the vegan thing may be out.
Had a couple pints of Jailbreak's The White Russian coffee cream ale last night. So good. Had a heavy aroma of coffee grounds. The flavor was much lighter on the coffee, balanced with a hint of vanilla bean for a smooth finish. Not my picture, but here ya go:

With that said - it may be going hand-in-hand with my coffee obsession lately that I've grown more into stouts.
