    Had the Ruination last night, pretty good. Had the Righteous tonight really good.

    Pick up a 12oz DFH World Wide Stout and a 22oz HUB Noggin Floggin Barleywine on the way home tonight.

    Had a bottle of the Fort last night. Man, it is amazingly good and just as potent as you'd expect from an 18% ABV beer. Very satisfying.

    Forgot when I was picking up beers last night had a DFH 90 Min IPA through the Randallizer. Tasty!

    Yet another Stone to recommend:
    Vertical Epic 11.11.11
    WOW
    Even though I've imbibed a few months (9) earlier than designed, this is a tremendously amazing brew - the Anaheim Pepper finish makes a chile verde/taco/nacho/jalapeno eve that much more enjoyable!
    YUM

    I agree - I think 11.11.11 is outstanding. Having purchased two of each bottle through the years - one to save, one to drink immediately - I've enjoyed experiencing all of the various flavors Stone has put into these brews. The only one I haven't been able to try (yet) is 02.02.02. Only got one bottle of that, and after holding onto it for the past decade, it's hard to believe I'll finally be able to pop the cap this year.

    Now there's one I'm wanting to try.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    We just had the '11 tonight. Minutes ago. It was damn good. Loved the mild burn in the throat.

    I stumbled across a nice find on Saturday night. The Knife and Fork restaurant in AC had DFH Immort Ale on tap.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to stocking up on otherwise unavailable beers more than the Eddie concert when I head to Memphis?

    I tried Red Brick's Hoplanta which actually wasn't a bad ipa. One i could see myself drinking a few of and not getting tired of them. Its not overpowering. I was surprised Red Brick usually is "just okay" to my taste buds.

    Also checked out Deviant Dales IPA. Reminded me a little of Sierra Nevada's newest Ruthless Rye. A little spicy good stuff though

    Abita strawberry just started hitting the shelves...I usually dislike fruit-flavored beer but one or two of these can really hit the spot sometimes. Just picked up some Cigar City Jai Alai too

    A buddy just dropped off a bottle of Epic Mayhem (New Zealand) that I can't wait to try.

    That's great news. I remember a buddy's dad telling me that years ago he had to buy warm beer in MS. Not sure it was a county regulation...

    Thanks...that is exceptional news actually.
    And who knows about the warm beer thing because the laws here have been (and I'm sure will continue to be to a lesser degree) screwed up. In college in starkville they couldn't sell cold beer. I'm guessing that's just a county thing. Here..we have cold beer sales but you can't sell singles and you can't sell it in restaurants.
    I just hope the new governor doesn't make me regret voting for him now ;)

    The next I open a 10% Hopslam or a 14.5% Goose Island Bourbon County, I will be even more grateful that I live in WI. :)
