Goose Island Bourbon County Stout and Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS), are outstanding stouts.
Best IPAs around this area Other Half in BK, and Finnback in QNS.

I had every one on that board that night.
. If anyone gets down to Cape Town the brewery called devils peak brewery is great. A friend down here has a friend who is a brewer and sent us there. I should have taken a photo of their beers but I got a little drunk that night too and forgot in Zambia 1 craft beer called Mosi. Ehhh it's kind of like coors to me but not much other choice
Lagunitas NightTime
I'm not a big fan of IPAs generally but maybe when they've gone out of fashion and are not mandatory to praise as they are now, I will rediscover them. But this as an IPA if a "Black IPA" is the best IPA I've ever had. Definitely one of the best beers I've ever had. The very strong hoppy taste of IPA is balanced with malty chocolatey flavors. Everything about this is good. Poors thick and heady smells great. Tastes great.

Also had a couple of beers from Oregon "Deschutes" Obsidian Stout and Black Butte Porter. Both really nice.

While I was in SoCal I was searching for Russian Imperial (which is my thing now) and found one from "Mission" in San Diego but I just couldn't spend $10 for a single bottle at the supermarket. Must be some good stuff though if people are plopping down $60 for a 6 pack right?

also recently tried "feldschlobchen black lager" pretty weak and disappointing but I did learn something. Schwarz (pronounced "Schwartz") is commonly used to refer to "black beer" But this is also makes me wonder what Mel Brooks was intending with "May the Schwartz be with you..."

You got me hooked man. I am a big fan of the Imperial Stouts now. Tonight Drakes' Brewing Drakonic. My 22 yo daughter really liked it too which I was a bit surprised. Really dark, thick and rich with a coffee like "crema" on top.

Good to hear! Barrel aged imperial stouts are awesome! Good choices too. I have a good sized collection of them. A couple of my buddies and I have an Instagram beer page called: “Beerbastardss” We get quite a good selection there.
Was in maryland this weekend and tried beer from one brewery called Easten Shore Brewing in St Michaels. Maybe 30 minutes from my grandmothers house. Good stuff they had a good spa I think called situation critical and a not so pale ale. I already had several Lagunitas Ipa's so it got a little hazy but Nathalie now thinks Lagunitas is delicious so that's a bonus
my vote: Other Half Brewing, Brooklyn NY, absolutely great beer, their IPAs better or as good as Heady Topper.
tried the Guinness 200th Anniversary Export Stout tonight. I really enjoyed this.
description from their website:
The same year Benjamin brewed his lovely dark beer, we shipped the first barrels of Guinness to America. To this day, America’s favorite stouts are still brewed at St. James’s Gate. Based on the Guinness brewing logs of 1817, Guinness 200th Anniversary Export Stout seeks to bring to life the same dark ruby red color and complex flavor of Benjamin’s beer from 200 years ago. Rich and full-bodied with notes of caramel, toffee and sweet chocolate. Smooth-drinking with just the right amount of bitterness. Guinness 200th Anniversary Export Stout carries on the legacy of 1817 and looks forward to our next 200 years in America.

Had this one while waiting for my takeout food at the new burgerology in huntington. It's very good although I couldn't drink more than one of these. Its like drinking a dessert [attachment]duclaw-brewing-co-sweet-baby-jesus-chocolate-peanut-butter-porter-beer-maryland-usa-10616059.jpg[/attachment]
went to barrage brewery on Allen Blvd today in Farmingdale with a buddy for an hour. It's in the back of a warehouse. Tiny tasting room and I mean tiny. Beer flights were good but not great. Still if you are in the area it's a good place to kill an hour but I wouldn't spend much more time than that there[attachment]IMG_2790.jpg[/attachment]
Sucker for a free glass. Picked this up at Trader Joe's today.
good deal I thought for $9 (coasters included!) 3 "victorian pint" (18.7 oz) size bottles. I'll drink the Stout and the wife can have the pear cider so everyone is happy.
