    Celebration ale is so good this year. Bursting with flavor.

    Haha. It's black, but maybe not quite as dark as the picture indicated. I've got a bottle of Faithfull at home in the fridge.

    Trappist Rochefort 10.

    Go get this and drink it now.

    Even the 8 is great but the warmth and depth of the 10 is just...

    Cigar City Jai Alia IPA is great stuff. :thumbup:

    For me tonight

    Split a Faithfull Ale
    Dogfish Head 90 Minute
    Bells Kalamazoo Stout
    Cigar City IPA

    Faithfull Ale is by far the worst.

    Rochefort 10 may be my favorite quad. Excellent choice.

    I made my greatest one two order at the bar ever on Saturday.

    Started out with Terrapin's Wake N Bake Stout and then ordered Sweetwater's Sticky Nugs :lol:

    both are good, but Terrapin's Wake N Bake is a delicous stout that has hints of chocolate but not overpowering. I really like it and will be going back for more of that.

    Again, I'm the poor bastard in Mizzip with the messed up ABV laws that can't get much of the good stuff, but I finally broke away and traveled to the lone beer store in the area that has some of the good stuff last Saturday.
    I'll defnitely be going as often as I possibly can, but it is a 45 minute trip

    I got...
    Rogue Dead Guy Ale....quite enjoyable
    Anchor Porter...holy shit that's good
    Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout...friggin' delicious

    I guess this one isn't really a craft beer but I also picked up some Franziskaner Weissbier which wasn't bad at all.

    It's a damn shame that store isn't closer...but then again that may be a good thing for my liver, my wallet and my ability to hold down a steady job :D
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I love the Dead Guy Ale and Oatmeal Stout that you mentioned...totally worth the 45 minute trip IMHO! Haven't tried the Anchor Porter yet, I'll add that to my wishlist :)

    Is there any way that you can join some kind of beer club so it gets delivered directly to you or would that be in violation of the ABV laws?

    Last night I drank a bottle of Troegs Dead Reckoning porter. It was good, really good. Nothing crazy or extreme as far as flavours go, just a really solid well made porter. I would totally buy more of this stuff too bad it is a seasonal and the store I bought it from is an hour and a half away and requires crossing the border into the US.

    It is totally worth the trip...i'm actually kicking around the idea of going tomorrow afternoon since we'll be shutting down the office at noon.
    And I'm not really sure about the beer clubs...I am aware of a few people who have joined them and apparently had no issues, but I'm not sure about the actual legality of it.

    I'm looking forward to trying more of the Rogue beers, Anchor and many of the others they have.

    What about Red Hook? Hows their stuff?
