My standards for a really good beer with good body, rich full taste and all of the other requirements that have been mentioned by many of you that are far more educated about the finer points of beer than I will ever be, are really quite simple.

European style......room temperature......Disgustingly unacceptable. Rating 0. (rating scale 1-5, with one being just short of squirrel vomit)

just barely cool.....See above rating. ("0")

ice cold...............Keep bringing them (5)

I picked up things on craigslist.

But I probably have about the same items as Justin. I'm picking up a wort chiller and another carboy here pretty soon. Chiller should help with the clarity and an additional carboy will give me enough to have another batch in secondary at the same time.

Right now my milk stouts are still getting to where I want them to be. They've been in bottles for about 2.5 weeks and they'll be much better at around 4 weeks or so and even more so after that.

I'm switching my double chocolate stout to secondary today.

You realize that Europeans don't drink beer at room temperature for the most part right?

Cold is not a flavor.

Who all has gone and is it worth the trip? Or just purchase the beer on eBay?

I would have thought it illegal to purchase beer on ebay, especially across state lines. Otherwise 3Floyds and Russian River would be high on my list.

I actually think the 12 Dogs of Christmas is as good if not better than GLBC's. I enjoy both.

Reminds me of a place I went to in DC once called Brickskeller. Had 500 bottle beers and something like 40 draft beers. Staff was pretty knowledgeable too.

I forgot about this but my wife reminded me about it last night. We were sitting at the bar on Saturday night and some chick came up beside me and ordered a Bud Light. I gave her some major shit for it and after she walked away kept talking about her even though she only moved from beside me to behind me. My wife is pretty sure I offended her pretty bad.

"How the fuck are you going to order Bud Light when they have Christmas Ale on tap? What's wrong with you?"

I usually ask why said person just does not order water. Usually gets them fired up.

Sounds like you were doing a public service. Maybe she couldnt afford to order Christmas ale?

Not likely the case, I only go to the highest class establishments in the city.

But seriously, she looked like she could afford it. Hot, young professional looking chick. Probably just doesn't like the taste of beer.

Or she could have gotten someone to buy her one if she couldn't lol. Probably the latter reason.

It's a fail regardless. Maybe she wanted less calories?

If you're worried about calories you shouldn't be drinking beer.
