I'm looking forward to a new treat this weekend...my store (the one 45 minutes away as some of you might recall) is supposed to have growler fills of Lazy Magnolia's Jefferson County Stout brewed with sweet potatoes. It may suck but it'll damn sure be different.

I have had their rebelion pale and the southern pecan brown and been mildy disapointed in both. The Reb pale was not bad to my taste but i've had other varieties of the same style i would go to long before this.

The Pecan was disapointing it was fruity to me not what i was expecting.

I have seen the stout but have shied away based on my first two. Let me know if you like it and don't let my expeirence with the other two be an indicator. Our taste buds are all different

I know what you mean. I have the Southern Pecan often nowadays and it seems to be better sometimes than others. I really like the Reb Ale, but, as you said, it isn't anything that really distinguishes itself from the crowd.
I support Lazy Magnolia as much as possible just because they're from here and i wish more breweries would start popping up. I'm not sure what to expect of the Jefferson County but I've read a few favorable reviews so we'll see. I'll try to remember to share my thoughts on it

Opening up a Lagunitas Hop Stoopid tonight. Anyone ever have one?

I really like it. I'm a big fan of most Lagunitas brews.

It was very good. I'm a big fan of Lagunitas too.

I love that shit. I wish I would have bought some extras to hold onto until they release it again.

Hopslam was just released this week. It should be distributed for the next couple of months.


Also picked up the new Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA, very tasty!!! I love rye beers and whiskey for that matter.

Where did you get the Ruthless?

I found the Ruthless at my local grocery store (Krogers). Very surprised to find it.

Oh sweet. I was thinking it was more towards Summer time when it came out. Thanks for the heads up.

I've got a 6 pack reserved at Total Wine for when it comes in. Probably my favorite beer in the world when it's fresh.

Here are a few of my options for this evening. The top shelf of my beer fridge is dominated by 750ml and 22 oz bottles. The second shelf is high alcohol stuff and local favorites. The lower shelves and doors (unseen) are used mostly for daily drinkers and seasonals.



I may swing by Total Wine to see if they have any SN Ruthless Rye in stock yet.

Looks good....i see what I believe to be a bottle of the Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple back there...have you tried it yet? I expecting some to arrive Monday

I chose the wrong time to take a couple weeks off from drinking to shed a few lbs. I have an excellent selection at home I want to dive into.

I hear ya on supporting the locals. Sweetwater and Terrapin are the big ones in GA and i try to support them but their stuff isn't always top notch. A lot of their side projects and dank tanks can be fun though.
GA has seen a few more popping up over the years with Red Brick, Ode to Mercy, Jailhouse, and Red Hare all making on the scene

I hear you, too many good beers out now.

@capthowdy1027..... Hopslam is usually released in January and is only around for a couple of months. Drink it fresh!!!

Anybody heard of this or use it? I just got an invite code this week...the legalities of shipping beer confuse me so I'm not really sure if I can or can't legally participate but it would be a good way to obtain beers I normally couldn't

EDIT: Well I figured out that they cannot ship to me, which is what I figured.

Haven't tried it yet. I hear the aroma is amazing, but the flavor is underwhelming.

Over Christmas I was in Richmond, VA and went to a little bar. Low and behold, what did I see on the beer menu?



Most expensive bottle of beer I have ever been privy to experience. $29.00 clams. I couldn't pull the trigger.

I did find it at a grocery store on my way home for $12.00 and grabbed one up though.
