Seems like it is $11 at the place I go.

I've had it before in August of Last year. Awesome beer. They use ten different hops when brewing it so you know it's hoppy, but it also has some nice malt flavor. Balanced for the most part. I only have one bottle and it's a 12oz, so that kinda sucks. Last year I was able to grab a six pack, but that was bought in Kentucky. I might have to venture over there this coming weekend and see if I can get a sixer or more.

Having a Green Flash Double Stout right now. Its easily one of my favorite stouts, perhaps readily available beers. The chocolate taste really shines here, they nailed it. Debating on going with a Le Freak, or a GF Tripel next. Decisions decisions...

Apparently stroups and Lincolne also share a birthday with me if the calendar on this thing is correct.

always wanted to try Lost Abbey, but I've only been able to track down their $21+ bombers. Curious what you think.

Had a taste of the Serpent Stout. Very freaking nice, yep I'd say awesome after having it. It was years ago. Ya can't find it around here.


Tonight it was White Rajah followed by by Santo Palo. Yep I'm felling it which is why I'll be done after this post....

Cheers to whoever it doing it on a Tuesday Night along with me!!!

Had a couple Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ales last night. Probably one of my favorite brews right now. Great wheat/hoppy brew for the summer.

Found Devil Dancer in 4 pack form around me yesterday, for $25! Back on the shelf.

A bar near me put on twitter that they just tapped their keg of it, I think I'll go there and try it on draft for $6 instead.

6 times 4 is 24 so it's the same after tax and tip - might as well buy it and have them in your fridge.

I wouldn't drink all 4 in one sitting, they're 12%. Also a pint at a bar is more than a 12oz bottle and draft > bottle IMO.

That's if they even give you a pint glass - a lot of places give you smaller servings with higher alcohol content.

Knocking back a 6 pack of PBR, can't beat it for $4.50.

PBR is the best cheap beer. Good flavor and a little extra pop.

At one point in my life I drank enough High Life to get a free "Beer Delivery Guy" shirt.
