You go to the wrong breweries. The last few tours I've been on (Half Acre, Sam Adams, Harpoon) have all done tastings either during or after the tour. Harpoon's is probably the best, if you go on a weekday at noon you don't get a tour - but you do get a tasting glass and an hour to belly up to the bar and have literally as much as you want of anything they make. And it's free.

If I could, I'd try BrewDog's End Of History Ale. $750 a bottle, I believe. It's 55% alcohol and the bottles are sewn into dead animal carcasses.

I just feel like that's a bucket list item for beer lovers.

Yep. That's it. Ale that kicks like a bourbon and comes in a dead rodent. And it's even called "The End Of History" Ale. Perfect for the end of the world.

Not sure yet. I guess it depends on what beer The Wife puts in the fridge. I have a Cigar tasting then need to go back into work, so I won't know until 8:30ish.

Having a beer tasting tonight, I'm bringing Creme Brulee from ST. As for the answer, if possible it would be the two stone beers I had at a stone tap take over at a bar. Had a 2 yr BA Double Bastard and a 3 or 4 yr old BA IRS (brewed with something, don't recall. Not Belgo Yeast). 2 best beers I have ever had. Bottle I'd go Speedway.

*BA = Barrel Aged
