Thanks for the advice man. I'm gonna take it slow and i just ate a big meal. No plans on taking any pills or other drugs either. My brother's with me and i'm gonna be with some friends later some of which will be sober. I'll be alright. Thanks for looking out.

Yeah, definitely be careful. Alcohol that intense can be a really slippery slope.

I'll be enjoying one of these tonight:

That was my first thoughts as well.....until I tried the chocolate bock last year....it's very good. And after trying the coffee stout tonight....it's also very good.

Definitely not for the "Lite" beer drinkers.

I tend to prefer the dark stuff, like stouts and porters. I just finished the Founder's Breakfast Stout. It's strong chocolate and coffee, but oh so delicious.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of the "heavier" beers and normally chug the lite variety but you guys have me curious...I think I'm going to have to give these chocolate and coffee beers a whirl next weekend...The last dark type beer I tried was Trippell and I thought it was horrible...It took me about 4 months to choke down a six pack of that, lol...

Haha, well tripels are usually pretty intense, with lots of hops and malt (3 times as much as a standard Belgian, hence the name). I know for me, at least, it took some time to work up to the tripel. The chocolate and coffee beers are definitely intense and rich, too, but in a very different way. They're heavy, but tend to have a balance between sweet and bitter that you might enjoy more than you did the tripel. Let us know what you end up trying!

I know I can probably find the Sam Adams variety pack Newb mentioned and I will definately pick that up. I'm going to keep my eyes open for the Founders Breakfast Stout you mentioned, it looks extremely interesting, lol!

The distribution is mostly concentrated in the Midwest, with some availability in New England as well. You're in Kansas? You might be able to find it there. If not, I can give you some other recommendations if you'd like.

Good call on the KBS! Founder's is my favorite craft company. The brewery is actualy about a 15 minute drive from my house. We go once and awhile. My favorite by far is the Centennial IPA though or maybe the Porter! Yum! They throw concerts often, really nice place! Glad to see others enjoying my hometowns brews!

I live in Colorado, surrounded by fantastic micro breweries. Out of all of them, these are my favorites. If you see them at your local liquor store, do yourself a favor and check them out:
Left Hand Brewery: Milk Stout
Odell Brewing: 90 Shilling
Twister Pine: Hoppy Boy
New Belgium: Fat Tire (probably the easiest of the four to find.)

Oh man! You are very lucky. It's actually probably a good thing that I don't live so close to Founders, cause I'd surely spend way too much time and money there. I love their brews, though. The porter and Centennial IPA are both great. I also love their imperial stout; I believe it's a winter seasonal.

Michigan actually has some of the best craft brewers in the country.

Mid-afternoon beverage...

Ooo, how is it?

That's a fine brew with a nice little kick to it.

It's my favorite go-to beer. Nice deep flavor for an ale. Highly recommended if you haven't tried it.

Good call on Founder's by the way... It's one of my boyfriend's favorites and very yummy.

I did a search for it, and it doesn't look like it's available here :/

Starting to get a little brisk here in the northeast....though I would start my weekend off with a couple of "Harpoon Chocolate Stout"

^ Ooo, very nice.

I just picked up a bottle of Jolly Pumpkin's Noel de Calabaza. One of my absolute favorite Christmastime seasonals. It's a nicely spiced Beligan-style ale. This one's pretty expensive, so I only get one every December. I'm saving this bottle for an upcoming Christmas get-together.

will have to look out for that one


gets a pretty good rating on beer advocate-->http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/9897/39267

9% abv.....nice little kick as well

Yeah, it's an excellent brew.
That 9% is perfect for warming on chilly nights :D

Can we kick this guy outta here mods.....or anyone.

But since we're talking beer....
KBS, Jay, is actually Kentucky Breakfast Stout and is literally one of the most sought after beers in America and might be one of the best beers ive ever had. Ill Honestly be pre-Ordering a case for my bar within the next month or so. They also have CBS(Canadian) and regular Breakfast stout.

Beers ive tapped or will be tapping at my bar: Founders breakfast stout, Stone Double Bastard, Left hand 2011 fade to black, Chili pepper porter that is friggin delicious, Great Divide Oak Aged Old Yeti Stout.

Just had Otter Creek's Twenty Year Anny Copper ale:
12% copper pale ale....yum

Dang. Where is your bar? Haha

There's a winery down the road from me (Nashoba Valley Winery) that does fruit wines.

I am currently drinking their Strawberry Rhubarb. It's nice and on the tart side. One of my favorites (and the boyfriend purchased this bottle for me as part of my Christmas haul). :D

That sounds wonderful.

It's really lovely. They have a nice tart cherry wine as well, and their dry pear tastes like a Chardonnay.

how were they.

Not a wide selection of Asian brews in my part of the world.

I've had the Asahi; not too bad. It's a pretty smooth rice lager.

enjoying a 22 ounce "Pretty Things- Jack D'or"

not a bad Belgian style ale

http://ciceroschatter.files.wordpres...pg?w=225&h=300

looks like one of my sons friends will be missing one of his beers. :D

I have a 24 hour rule....if a beer is left in my fridge over 24 hours....it's mine

I can't read it, what is it?

I can't read the name either. Cool looking label!

sorry about that

Magic Hat -Howl Black as Night Lager

it's pretty good

That's very generous. My rule is that if it's in my fridge period, it's mine. :D
