World of Beers opened last week in Louisville by Costco. I had never been to one but they had 45+ quality beers on tap, 500 bottles, and excellent appetizers. East end of Louisville needed something like this, I was impressed and will be back.

Love the thread. First time, long time.
Anyone know of a good Irish Cream Ale that is available in the bottle in KY? My boss was raving about Kilkenny's but that is not available here in the bottle (that I can find). Trying to brown nose a bit.

You got 8 out of 10 correct--That's pretty good, but there's always more to learn about beer:

Last for me was Deschutes Black Butte Porter. Liked it, would buy again.

I tried Sierra Nevada Celebration last week and it was very good.

I've been looking all over the place for Broken Skull IPA by El Segundo Brewery but so far only come across Mayberrry IPA by them.

Glad to have you. Welcome. Awesome beer posters here.

What does your skin smell like after lots of drinking?

Tried this as an impulse buy. Loving it. Lots of pine hops but not overbearing. Has a little bit of bitterness but a sweet aftertaste.

I bought this today after your post and seeing that it has a 94 percent on Beer Advocate. Definitely had an odd taste but I enjoy it. It got me buzzed pretty dang fast too.

No you usually get those with the Bud lights and Mic Ultras of the world.

I'm no beer expert, obviously, but...

The Sam Adams "Winter Classics" variety pack is the best variety pack I've ever bought. Chocolate Bock (actually good), Old Fezziwig Ale, Sparkling Ale, Holiday Porter, Winter Lager, and regular Boston Lager make it a damn good 12 pack you can buy at Wal-Mart. Will get again next weekend. Very pleasantly surprised.

I pick one the variety packs up also.
I liked the Chocolate Bock best, desert beer with like a caffe' mocha aftertaste.
The Holiday Porter was good, like a better Guinness. Along with the Fezziwig Ale was my 3 favorites in the pack that I would buy in a 6-pack.

Boston Lager was decent.
The Sparkling Ale reminded my of a high carbonation Budweiser Rolling Rock.
The Winter Lager, I would never drink again. Must been the cinnamon and ginger felt like I had to shave my tongue.

Those are two different beers

Y'all got a Total Wine in Austin?
Two, actually. Both opened during the past year. One located out south and another about 10 miles north in Cedar Park. Layout is very similar to the Orlando-Colonial Drive store, but roughly 1/2 of the craft beer selection is not. We see lotsa West Coast and Plains states brews out here whereas Orlando-area outlets receive more East Coast and Midwest stuff. Like every other retail outlet in central Texas, each store is beholden to the distributors.

But Abita is readily available in both FL and TX, so perhaps I may find this particular beer.

Bought this today so I'll have something on had I know I'll like. I don't think you can go wrong with anything they make.

Drank SA Winter Classics 12-pack a few weeks ago, largely because Jason mentioned it. Very good; however, I sincerely miss the Hazel Brown formerly included in the bunch a few years back.

I have tried Bell's Christmas Ale and Founder's Harvest Ale recently. The Harvest Ale was $13.99 for a 4 pack. Seemed very average to me at that price point. Probably one of their least favorite offerings for me. The Christmas Ale was really smooth. I almost feel like i could drink it anytime of the year. A 6 pack was $11.99.

Anyone know where in Lexington you can get Uinta Golden Spike? It's distributed in KY but Liquor Barn nor Beer Trappe have it.

The damn Liquor Barn express in Chevy Chase, which caters mostly to winos and people looking to buy blunt wrappers,has a better beer selection than the 75,000 sq ft monstrosity in Hamburg. Sometimes the world doesn't make sense.
