Although there is a bar that has it on tap, I drink it every time I am there ($6 for a 23 ounce draft).
Yet to see it in 6er form, outside of oak aged AB which in is in the $23 range.

Welcome to the thread. I've had that before years ago. I usually go right to the Founders Dirty Bastard if I'm in the mood for one. I'll have to grab some Saturday as I should try something different. Thanks for reminding me.

Side note. The guy that used to do the beer tastings, that I attended years ago, was the head brewer at Thirsty Dog in the late 90's.

It's a solid brewery, and I'm constantly kicking myself, as I've never been there.

That is good stuff. Had it once, probably my favorite Rogue beer.

Apparently PBR is much different in China. German caramel malts and aged in American whiskey barrels. China is weird.

Two tall Killian's at dinner (best beer they had).

Three Busch Light Tall Boys at wife's best friends house. (Long story)

Now I am home getting ready to tear into some Smuttynose IPA.

Had an awesome beer night. Found out about a Stone Tap Takeover at a bar near where I was eating dinner. Headed over there to enjoy a 2010 Double Bastard, DDH Self Righteous Black IPA with Simcoe, and 15th year anni Escondian Imperial Black IPA.


2011 Russian Imperial Stout, Smoked Vanilla Porter I had a taste sample of also on tap.

I can honestly say the Double Bastard on tap was the best beer I've ever had, and the 15th yr anni Escondian was in the top 10. I hope to go back tomorrow for a second round of each.

I don't really have any plans for tomorrow if you need a wingman.
