      If you ever get the chance to make it back into town let me know, I'd love to join!
      It's really a great way to spend the day, Texas hill country and tons of great beer. And the pizza at Stanley's is pretty good too. My girlfriend always scoffs at going because every time I have a weekend off that's how I want to spend it!

        Mmmm I do love a good barleywine. Of late I have had a few, Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot, Arcadia Cereal Killer, and Bells Third Coast.

        Tonight I am having the afore mentioned Hemp Rye. A nice light bodied brew with a fairly tart finish. This would be a great beer in hotter months, possibly as a session beer, for those that can hold up.

          I think I may be developing an acquisition problem.  I'm not drinking as fast as I'm buying…

          I know this feeling all too well… Great haul!..

            Just a modest grocery store pickup tonight:

            I've had the other three before, but not the Tripel Karmeliet.
            Just did a quick Beer Advocate search while in the store, seems like it had some decent reviews so I grabbed a bottle.
            Curious to hear your thoughts if you've had it @Seul!

              I hate filtered beer, but Tripel Karmeliet is nice enough… Perfect for cellaring btw!..

                  It's far from perfect, but it has some very intruiging characteristics!..

                    I'm really lucky that we have good Prairie distribution in Texas, or at least in Austin.
                    Most of my fridge is full of Jester King and Prairie…

                            Gents, looking for recommendations for something similar to this, that isn't made by a global conglomorate, I like it as a winter tipple.

                              I'm not really familiar with stouts, only imperial stouts… But where are you from, and are there any good shops in your neighbourhood?.. Someone else might be able to help 🙂

                                However this one is strong, slightly sparkling and quite sweet.
                                It has flavours of roasted nuts, coffee, cola.

                                Most stouts are around 4-5% abv, but this hits the spot at 7.5.

                                  Almost at Imperial ABV levels then. Most of the Scandi brewers have stouts and impy stouts that would fit the bill. Do you have any spesialist stores near you that have websites?

                                  My fave boozy, Imperial Stout at the mo is by Boulevard Brewery, and comes from their Smokestack Series. Nøgne do a good one as well.

                                    I've had the Stingo and the Imperial. very nice indeed - and definitely not made by a global conglomerate!

                                            I'll be interested to hear how those two limited editions from Fullers turn out.. Great haul!
