Well this weekend was fun, I tried the new R&R Coconut IPA by stone and I didn't really pick out any coconut notes and to me was a decent IPA I don't think it's anything special but that's just me, the 2 Ruintens I had on the other hand where great DIPA's

While, Ruinten is GREAT, I hate to say it but I think Stone has done IPA to death. I'm pretty tired of them at this point.

They have but that is because that is what they are best at/known for. Loved the Coffee IPA that they came out with before the w00tstout. And all their barrel aged stuff they released a few months back was awesome! Still holding onto a Lowland Whishkey aged Barleywine from them.

We have a place called 10 barrels over here which do all IPA's, which I found to mostly be good. I have tried a lot of stone's stuff and really can't enjoy it all that much. My wife does like their smoked porter though. Not sure if you have had any of Mckeller's stuff, but their coffee stout was amazing. The first coffee stout that I have had that didn't taste like coffee grounds.
I've really been enjoying Goose Island's Vintage Belgians (Sofie, Matilda, Pere Jacques, Pepe Nero). Is anyone familiar with similar delicious Ales? Thanks!

check out ommegang if you haven't yet. Awesome American/Belgian brewery.

Thanks for the recommendation. I haven't had Ommegang before and it's available locally. Looks like this is my next purchase.

Ever get your hands on their 12oz of Vanilla Smoked Porter and Chipotle Porter Stone put out? Those were good. Ive heard of 10 Barrel and saw some of their stuff available online. Just never purchased for some reason lol.
I love having a good beer/liquor store. Not only did he sell me an entire case of KBS this year, but I picked up a 4 pack of Matilda the other day and mentioned that I love all of the Belgians from Goose Island. He said he has an order coming in a couple days and he would be happy to add some to it. Fast forward to yesterday and sure enough, he brought in a case of Sofie and Pere Jacques. Man, this guy is just awesome. Time to start thinking of what else to ask for!

Chipotle porter!? No! Dangit, that sounds incredible!

Found a place with a really nice selection of Ommegang. Had to restrain myself from buying one of each that they had. Haven't tried either yet, but I have a feeling I will be going back for more.

If you go back grab more of that Three Philosophers and just let it sit. I have a bottle that will be 4 years old when the new stuff comes out from them. Supposed to be absolutely amazing with some age on it. The Abbey Ale is not bad stuff either. Very nice Dubbel.

That's beer dude? Wow, from the label it looks like wine. I think I've seen the Sofie before but honestly didn't know it was beer.

Lol, YES, very delicious beer! The Sofie is actually aged in wine barrels and has a champagne quality to it. If you can find them with a couple years on them, they become really, really good. That 2011 Matilda was a lot better than a 2013 I had a couple months earlier.
Oh yeah, I had a bourbon country the other night after some brisket, holly crap that's good beer. Hopefully my "contact" is able to score some more, one of my favorite beers. I had an amazing beer from cascade the other day, called a dieter pronounced d-ee-ter. ---bbl aged w/175 lbs of Bing cherries in 15-yr Heaven Hill bbls for 13 mos, then in Pinot bbls for 13 more --- Probably one of my top favs in the sour world. There's another one that got tapped yesterday which I need to try as well.
