What's your favorite Beer?

[Seul]

Love the jug… There's a Belgian saying that roughly translates into: "In heaven there's no beer, that's why we drink it here"...

[Chris]

That seems a very Belgian thought.  One I fully endorse…

Pretty productive evening at the local bar– I've managed to score two Founders KBS stouts, a 2011 Founders Breakfast Stout, and a Perennial Abraxas stout. I now have a much bigger buzz than I should on a Wednesday evening, but a selection like this doesn't happen often.

Need: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/alesmith-speedway-stout-barrel-aged/28173/

Any 'mericans here who have acces to Founders, Bells, Bruery,… Get at me!.. Trade only.

You want the Speedway? Or you got others in mind? Picking up tomorrow, could easily handle a request.

[Seul]

Need that particular Speedway aye… And any of these:

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/founders-kbs-kentucky-breakfast-stout/40544/ (or any of the other strong stouts they make really, preferably the sweeter, oak aged ones)

I've no idea how realistic my list is though...

[jdl1279]

Hopslam is unavailable now. KBS is what I am picking up, but what I can get will be limited, not sure how much. Willing to share if I can though. I like their standard Breakfast Stout, and their Curmudgeon (oak barrel ale) which are easier to come by. I can look for the others, and I think I have something you'll like if sweet woodsy and dark interests you.

Damn that looks good… 

[jdl1279]

Really think you'd like this too.

[Seul]

Mmmmm… I am now drooling... More than I usually do...

[xtcclassic]

Seul, the Palo Santo Marron is spectacular. So is the KBS. I don't think I've had the Old Curmudgeon, but anything Founders makes is generally pretty awesome.

[jdl1279]

after looking, I can't get the Bruery. However, looking at your selections I think you would like…

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/dogfish-head-my-antonia/116033/

We could go back and forth for a while

[Seul]

Nothing under 9% please… But that Arcadia looks really, really, really good...

Like really, really, really, really good...

Get me the barrel aged Speedway Stout and maybe two other (33cl) bottles (do include that Arcadia!) and we'll talk... 

[Seul]

Oh BOY will we talk 

[jdl1279]

I don't go into much under 8%. I'll sort out my purchase accordingly though and let you know tomorrow what I got.

[Seul]

I had the regular Speedway Stout and really loved it… But the Bourbon (and especially the vanilla it brings with it) will make this even better I think...

Oh: and if they don't have that one, just improvise 

I'll start thinking about what to send you... 

[jdl1279]

No IPAs, otherwise follow your instincts

[jdl1279]

Looks like the Alesmith stuff isn't carried either. Bourbon barrel though you're in luck on, because I can do something like Dragons Milk for a stout, or my favorite bourbon barrel from Arcadia…

I have many more options in this area, but these are two of my favorites

@jdl1279:

What's the link to your store?..

[jdl1279]

Usually hit Mega-Bev or Horrocks, as they have largest selection. No link for Horrocks though, but I can check there too.
