    No doubt!
    My buddy and I have been messing around with a kit the last few months and are planning on working toward doing our own brews in the spring...maybe we'll have some worthy of sharing :lol:

    this sounds interesting
    Also, don’t miss our new Ancient Ale, Ta Henket, inspired by a trip to the Egyptian pyramids.

    not sure if i've had their stout, but it's always sad when the beer world loses a stout or porter

    Sad to hear that World Wide Stout is going on hiatus. I really liked that one. Of course, I'm excited that Burton Baton is going to be available year round.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Celebration Ale could be the best beer I've ever had.

    I tried a DFH Palo Santo(?) and wow that was some strong shit. Pretty good as well. I was able to get 2 bottle of DFH Fort as well. Anyone try that?
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I haven't tried it. It's $16.99 at Total Wine for a 750ml bottle. What did you pay for it?

    I think it was 20.99 so that's a good price.

    I don't know if I want to pay that much for a large bottle of what is essentially a raspberry dessert beer. I know my wife wouldn't want to share it with me, and there's almost no way I could drink the whole thing by myself before it goes flat. I wish they'd put it in 12 oz. bottles.
