They started selling goose island in my local store. Apparently they moved from Chicago to Fort Collins recently. That does not hurt my feelings, but it seemed like it tasted a little different. I've only tried the 312 so far and will have to investigate further.
Drinking a Bootleggers Knuckle Sandwich, went to a liquor store and I couldn't believe I saw it on the shelf, went to buy it and it turned out to be the owners and an employe put it on the shelf on accident and he wasn't to pleased when he realized what happened, oh well
No hate here, Sleeve. Even better if you're hooking up friends who might not have gotten it otherwise. I end up doing the same with a lot of beers since I do have some decent connections in the area. I also buy a lot of stuff to host tastings and share amongst friends. People who have come to my beer tastings have had the opportunity to try lots of amazing beers that they otherwise wouldn't have gotten to try. It's a fun community like that.

I really need to pick your brain one of these days on some beers and whiskeys to check out. I'm not a big drinker, by any means, but I do enjoy quality stuff when I do drink. I really appreciate the reviews you post!
Yup.
I got the heads up when the delivery was coming and the owner refused to create a waiting list. So it was first come first serve with no limit. I decided to not be a total jerk and buy all 3 cases, just 1. Lol.
ah that's just mean, I WANT!!! lol. I would be so down to trade something for a bottle or two. lmk.

Talk about hoarding!
Lol, half of them are now empty bottles in two days. No hoarding, just lots of drinking. I saved the trouble of having all my drinking buddies line up at the same place to get theirs!
i got a few of those as well. the store i went to sold out in 4 minutes flat. limit 2 bottles a person. my wife and i each got our two. our friend we brew with got his two. now we have a six pack to share.
Picked up a 4 pack of KBS yesterday! My bottle shop got one case in and were limiting one per customer, but I got mine. Something to look forward to Friday night once the child is asleep. I just hope I don't drink them all in one week.

Lol, good luck with that! My wife tried it and absolutely loved it. So my stash effectively just got cut in half
I was just wondering what's everyone favorite cigar to pair with a good Stout, same question goes with a good IPA
Diesel Unholy Cocktail goes good with a Russian Imperial. IPA with a cigar is tough. Can't think of a specific, but I would say something peppery that would stand up to the hop bitterness of the IPA.
I completely agree with Y2. Stouts are great with richer cigars, especially Bourbon barrel aged stouts. Some Barleywines (typically if they're aged as they can be a bit hoppy when fresh), and most Belgian Quads and Strong, Dark Ales or Stock Ales/Old Ales usually do well. IPAs are really tough to pair with a cigar because of the bitterness from the hops. They're the Red Wine of the beer world. They just don't seem to go with a cigar as they always tend to drown out the cigar rather than contrast or complement it.
I drink IPA's with a cigar all the time. I know it's wrong palate wise, but if it's a nice strong spicy cigar, the bitter and pepper go punch for punch. Good combo is a Founders Pale Ale and Nica Libre Potencia.
I'm having a Founder's Breakfast Stout with my cigar right now. I love this beer. If I could, I would make a baby with it. Drinking it almost seems like an act of cruelty to the beer itself.
