What's your favorite Beer?

Can't wait to get the return package Dan. Glad everything was intact, I was hoping the packing job would work.

Dragons Milk by New Holland Brewing is always my go to recommendation. It's one of their main lines, so it is consistently available wherever they distribute and is a damn good example of the style.

The Goose Island Bourbon County, as you mentioned, is another one that tends to be more widely available in my area.

There are a few more that pop up on draft around me with some frequency that I'm blanking on the names of right now. I'll post when I remember them though…

I certainly enjoy Dragon's Milk, but prefer a little more bourbony - GI BCS isn't distributed here. Any others? I usually stoop to adding whiskey and vanilla to breakfast stout.

@Megatron1505:

......ratebeer says it's good, any opinions from dudes across the pond?

It's not as good as it's name. Still good though.

British beer for me today!.. 5.2% (but I'm cheating as it's 50cl… Although I'm not drinking it all... Well: probably not...) Lotsa kiwi, lotsa white wine... This is something I could drink all day long on a hot summer day... Grand stuff!..

Megatron1505

Oi! Beer is only meant to flow one way between Belgina and the UK….stop screwing with the system

Next you'll be wanting British food (no-one is that desperate surely).

It's masively refreshing, and if you love South-Pacific white wines and fruits (no I'm not talking about Snowy and Mild7) like I do, it's a god's send on a warm day like today!..

Justin,

See if you can find any of the Shipwreck Porter from Arcadia Ales. It's a 12% that is VERY bourbon heavy, almost like a strong cocktail booze wise. It gets pricey for a 12oz bottle, but if over the top bourbon barrel is what you're looking for, I don't think there's a better choice I know of.

OTT bourbon: STRUISE RIO RESERVA… Drink it warm and you'll be in bourbon heaven...

That does look good…. on the list of things to find I still like this though for getting that heavy bourbon flavor without just drinking bourbon.

I am not a fan of regular old raspy, but this stuff was great. Top 10 all time for me.

jdl1279

I found a few bottles at $30, but to make it feasible gonna have to fill a case

Seul

You're gonna get a case without having tried the one?..

jdl1279

Not a case of it, a couple of those along with some other selections to fill out a case. If I have to order from a vendor and have it shipped, I am going to make sure I find enough varied brews that are unavailable to me that half of said case will likely be things I haven't tried.

justinkelly

I need a vendor that will ship to PA, who are you using? I had to make my bones with illicit trading due to our odd laws and (at the time) scant selection.
