    oh and we're counting down the days until the ABV rises to 10.2% on Sunday. Thing is that state revenue said the higher alcohol content beers could not be within the state's borders until July 1. So reports are that Abita will have trucks loaded and ready to go at the stroke of midnight, Yazoo may also be able to get some in stores that day and Lazy Magnolia's new high gravity beer will be in stores as well. The thing i don't get about it is that Lazy Magnolia has obviously been brewing the new beer in state, so haven't they been in violation of the law? ;):lol:

    Thanks..it's going to be a good 4th. And 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 5th and 6th..... :lol:

    Edit: Well actually i'm expecting to be a drunk bastard all month long as new stuff continues to filter in. Hopefully there will be more to show up next week but Abita, Yazoo and Lazy Mag will have plenty to keep us busy for a while

    I remember those. Not marketing to kids, at all. Way better than a Joe Camel penis face.

    Ahhh, Red Hook ESB! I always forget about that one when I think back to my "gateway" beers. I tend to think of Sam Boston Lager, Newcastle, and much later SN Pale Ale. Ironically, ESB was how I learned to enjoy (and now be obsessed with) the bitter side of beers.

    Gonna have to grab an ESB next chance I get just to see how it's held up.

    Haha, I have a few tucked away in my beer closet that I've been looking for an excuse to crack open. Not exactly your average refresher-after-work beer. Packs a wallop!

    Elysian makes some pretty interesting brews. This year they are doing the 12 beer of the apocolypse.
