    Cracked open one of the Mission Russian Imperial Stouts last night. Damn that is a good stout. I suck at pointing out the notes and what not. All I know is it was really fucking good. The damn wife drank 2 :cry:
    I think I will line the rim of her glass with vinegar next time. ;)

    fortunately for me, if it's not light in color, the girlfriend won't drink them...

    so I don't have to worry about her touching any of the barrel age stouts, porters, etc in my stash. :D

    She does not like the bourbon stouts at least. So my KBS is safe in the fridge. :D

    Bought a 4 pack of Mission Brewery Russian Imperial Stout out of San Diego, which I believe is Spanish for a whales vagina, anyway. My first Mission Brewery beer and it is gooooood. Wow, unfortunately the wife likes it a lot too and she drank two tonight. :cry:
    Mission makes great beer and their Stout is very tasty...
    If you get a chance, make sure to grab a few bombers of Stone's 2013 Imperial Russian Stout - wow is it delish. over 10% abv, very stout-ish and quite good.
    How'd ya like the Dayman Coffee IPA collab w/ Stone?

    A couple of my buddies are doing it this year. Can't believe how crazy that shit is down there. I have two days open next week and plan on hitting the brewery to stock up on endless amounts of Zombie and Gumballhead though. Im sick of paying 16.99 and 13.99 for six packs at retail when you can get a case for 35 bucks at the brewery. Have fun!

    I will keep an eye out for it. The bottle doesn't look familiar though. May not be available in my area.

    I didnt buy any Dayman. Must have been someone else.

    sounds like I should drive up there and stock up... if only it wasn't 1000+ miles... google says it's only 16 hours each way... :fp:

    hmmm... only a 36 minute ride from downtown chicago.... now to find a way to ship it back... :think:

    New store just opened up around the corner from my house. Walked in there the other night and first display was Bells Oberon. Then I spotted 3 Floyds. Decent selection for a new store, guy behind the counter said they were working to build up their selection with the distributers. Added them on FB as they post deliveries there.

    Walking distance from my house, shit, barefoot walking distance!!! I told the guy that he and I will become bfff this summer, I'm so excited!!!
