We opened a couple the other night. My girlfriend said "Let's try to make a dent in this (my 25+ cases aging in the basement and growing)." Two beers later, she was calling it quits. Cracked an Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break (good but not worth the price or hype - I find this typical of Evil Twin brews) and Nectar Ales Black Xantus (very rich coffee stout - really can't complain about this one except that it's pretty tough to find out this way).
That Nectar Ales Black Xantus sounds interesting. Will have to look it up.
You still able to get that out in CA or did you just save some?
I was looking in the back of the fridge and saw it, it said drink by 1/31/2013 but it still tasted great today I just picked up some Pliny the Elder, 3 bottles just bottled on 1/31/2013 gonna try one out on Friday
I've heard amazing things about Pliny the Elder, I've never seen it though. Who makes it?

Russian River Brewing, Ken. Pretty sure it's unavailable to us East Coasters. I also hear it's devine. I'm dying to try it.
I'm not a total hop head or IPA whore so Pliny was good but nothing I'd go out of my way to seek out again. Especially being able to get Heady (basically, Heady Topper is the East Coast version of Pliny) so easily. Personally, my favorite IPA is Souther Tier's Unearthly. I just find it very balanced and drinkable. Marshall Wharf's Can't Dog is pretty stellar as well and just as tough to get as Pliny and Heady.

Haven't had any of those, Rob, although I've also heard great things about Heady Topper. I'll have to run up to Yankee Spirits and look for that one. Have you tried Lagunitas Sucks Brown Shugga Substitute yet? Excellent double IPA.
Heady will be tough to find outside of VT. I have a friend that goes to Burlington fairly often where the brewery is and he said it's even becoming difficult to find at the brewery. Though they recently announced that they'll be upping their production significantly very soon. I haven't had the Lagunitas Sucks but have heard great things about it. Again, I'm a huge fan of Unearthly, since it's a great IPA and very accessible.
Went beer shopping today picked up a 4 pack of Old Radputin a 6 pack of Lagunitas suck the 2013 Stone barley wine and a 2013 stone oak barley wine, and a 2012 Stone Imperial Russian Stout, love that stout especially in these cold Southern California Winters, lol
I had the Stone Brewing Enjoy By 04.01.13. Phenomemal double IPA. Probably one of the most fragrant beers I've ever had. Taste was balanced perfectly and an outstanding body. If you can get your hands on it soon, I highly recommend you do.

Having some 3Beans by Sixpoint. Fantastic porter, but I don't recommend it with a cigar. It's a little overpowering to the smoke.
Much appreciated. No biggie if you forget; it's just one of those things that bat around in the back of my mind. Kinda like "Who was the first guy who looked at a cows udder and thought "I think I'll drink whatever comes out of these?""
We just started getting Lagunitas stuff locally so I picked up a 6er of the IPA Wednesday. I was a little green at work Thursday morning. Man that stuff is tasty.
