I got a PM that says we need to step it up. This is my contribution.
I bought a Weyerbacher "Big Beers" variety pack on Sunday. Weyerbacher is brewed in Easton, PA. The variety pack consists of Old Heathen Stout, Blithering Idot Barley wine (11.1% abv), Merry Monks Ale, and Double Simcoe IPA. I've had the Double Simcoe before and thought it was absolutely amazing. Last night I drank a Blithering Idiot while I scarfed some suicide wings. I wasn't too impressed. I guess I just don't favor Barley Wines. Right now I am drinking my 3rd "Merry Monks Ale". It reminds me of a slightly sour version of Fransiskaner Heffeweisen or Troeg's Dreamweaver wheat beer. It's pretty good. It's 9.3% abv, and it's treating me right at this very moment. I have off this Friday, so stay tuned for more fermented indulgence!

 

Call me lame, but all the beers I go out and try are great an all. But I always come back to a tall glass of Blue Moon and an orange. Just my favorite drink.

 

Hey, it's cool. I love to drink all those craft beers, but I still like to party with Keith Stone; if you know what I mean.

 

on draught at the local beer haus the other night.

I love having a nerdy beer garden and haus across the street.

 

Last night on the way home I almost stopped and had an



but figured I had to try to get my new 949 endlinks on and went straight home. This was unfortunate because I didn't get my endlinks installed and all that was in the fridge was leftover



that a friend left behind. I almost made a cocktail but got lazy and popped open a Natty instead. It was a big day at work after I had a few days off at the end of last week for vacation so I was too tired to make a cocktail.

 

Awwww yeah! Southern Tier! That place makes outstanding beer. I recently had their "Mokah". I think that's how it was spelled. It was a mix of their jahva and chokolat (coffe stout mixed with chocolate stout). It was amazing, and I think it was like 10.8% abv or something?
If you like IPA's try Southern Tier 2X IPA. It's one of my favorite IPA's.

 

Holy crap! Old Rasputin! I just had that 2 weeks ago. It was a 2010 barrel on nitrogen, f 'n amazing!

 

I had a choice between drafts of old rasputin and the jah va.

 

I will be looking for the jah va on your recommendation.

 

I didn't say I recommended it. I just said I had it. It's a bit overwhelming and about as opposite as you can get from easy drinkin'.

but if you like tough stouts with a hint of coffee...
