Anyone had Sierra Nevada's Narwhal? Looks interesting...
Not sure if I've mentioned it in this thread...
there's a beer at Ye Olde Union Oyster House called Colonial Ale. Sam Adams brews it specifically and exclusively for them. It's sublime. Without question, the best beer I've ever had.
I'm sure some of it was the ambiance and the experience/knowledge of sitting in a seat that the founders of our country sat it, but yeah, it's :fire:

I finally drank Sixpoint 5Beans last night. Stellar. Tried for well over a year to locate some in Austin, without success. Found some at a 40 year old beer store on the Kentucky-Tennessee-Virginia border.
I personally have been doing the local craft brewery thing. I started out at Independence Brewing Co in Austin a while back for their on site brewed beer. Then I went to an America on Tap event in Corpus Christi, and found we have some decent local breweries right here too.
My favorite right now is Lorelei Brewing Co, they have quite a selection and I love the atmosphere. I also love finding their beer in local restaurants now around town. Also, I seem to have been able to convince my wife that a craft beer brewery taproom is not a bar! So I can go there and not get in trouble
I think I have found a new hobby

I love Convict Hill by Independence Brewing of Austin. Great stuff. I have visited their brewery twice since 2013. Always solid beer.
Unforeseen consequences pushed Thanksgiving to Friday. So I chugged a sixer of West 6th IPA. Pretty decent standby option. A little too malty for my taste, but gets the job done
Thought about you yesterday when I was at World of Beers. Goose Island has these Hombre series. I had a mango. But it was a Belgian that had a nice sour kick. Brewed in aged tequila barrels.
Great beer haul from Lexington. Hit up 2 different Krogers and Trader Joe's. Also grabbed some 3 philosophers and Dieselpunk DIPA. Nice road trip. Listened to our Cats beat those Cards on the trip up. Good day today.
Sixpoint Puff. 9.8% ABV. Drinking some as I type this post. Found at Pappy's 3/4 mile away in Ewing Virginia, located across from the herd of four bison in a pasture. Unfiltered yet unique. Had not even heard of this beer until now. Awesome.
Yesterday/Today...
3 Floyds dreadnaught 9.5/10
Rhinegeist Dad 6/10 (for some reason I feel like I enjoyed this more last year)
Sun King Osiris Pale Ale 7/10
Sun King Sunlight Cream Ale 0/10
Sierra Nevada Celebration 8/10
Not beer, but dominated some trader joes bourbon this weekend too . Not as terrible as I expected .

Ballast Point - Sculpin (IPA) is a go-to of mine.
Its out of San Diego and I first had it at a Padres game in September.
They now have it at Meijer....who actually has a decent beer selection.

Stay away from Dieselpunk Double IPA. Minimal hops. Decent ABV (8.5%), but what an effen joke. More like a GD malt liquor.
Drank 2 killer beers tonight here on the Kentucky-Tennessee-Virginia border. First up was Dogfish Head World Wide Stout. Kick-***. Had to split it with a relative . Second was Ommegang Three Philosophers. Incredible . Listening to the Ellis Brothers here at a private southern rock jam just for me.
Life is good.
Life is good.
Getting ready for the Cowboys game.
So far had a Dogfish Head Burton Baton 10% damn fine beer
Alpha King probably the best pale ale out there
Just cracked a Three Floyds Dreadnaught. First time having this. Hopefully not the last, awesome beer.

F*** yeah. What do you need to know, son?
I'm guessing he'd like to know which local brews are the best. Just a guess.
Isn't Cigar City brewing in Tampa? That's a top notch brewery.
It is. Prolly at the top of the list. Ybor City has a brewery. Then there is tampa bay brewery. Go down about 15 from tampa you can hit st.pete brewery, cycle brewery, and one of my favs, Barley Mow brewery (love this place)
Cuz picked me up a bottle of Three Floyds Gumball Head yesterday and I drank it last night. Surprisingly good. I'm currently posting from a honky tonk here in Bowling Green. Miller Lite is tolerable.
Heading down to Palmetto/Bradenton area and wanted know any good brew spots places or where locals like to eat besides Cracker Barrel.
Tampa has the most bars per capita in the United States. Hit World of Beers in Tampa. It's the original World Of Beers. Awesome place. Check out those breweries I posted. You'll be fine
You gave me some dynamite Cigar City the last couple trips I made back to Orlando. Kick-*** brew. Barley Mow is good. Funky Buddha rocks, too.
Dude, I just paid $440 dollars for Cigar City Hunnaphu beer festival on March 8th.
Some of the rarest brews will be there and GD'it I'm gonna drink them all.
Can't believe I just spent $440 on a beer festival. haha
When you come back in January . I'll have you some good ones man
Wow! That is pretty hard core beer nerd territory. Enjoy, bro.
Looking forward to January . I'll bring ya a few as well.
@LadyCat92 : I'm currently here in Grayson County . Found out last night Leitchfield now allows beer and wine sales in town.
Progress.
Progress.
I just did. haha She said HEY!
$440. But it comes with 12 bombers of special release. Like $40 a bomber.
Tonight...
Lagunitas Pils...solid
Rogue Santa's Private Reserve Ale... I wish santa had kept this one to himself. [sick]
