I can get the Speedway stout would be interested in a trade. There are some beers in your area I just can't get.
Hop Hearty was great. Good amount of hop bitterness. Just right for a non-west coast IPA.Belgian Red just isn't my kind of beer. I thought I would try it because of all the great reviews that it got, but it is way too sweet for me. Not bad for the genre, but not what I am looking for in a beer.
Third Coast Ale was at the end of the night so my taste buds may have been ruined by then, but I really didn't like it. Considered pouring it out, which would be a first for anything made by Bell's.

Fatmax - go buy the Drakes Expidition Ale at Bevmo soon. It is a very hoppy dark malted beer that was just released. It is better than the IPA. Also there stout is very good.
Also the White Knuckle Double IPA from Marin Brewing Co

i had a Third Coast.. pretty sure it was the same one you had.. i actually did pour it out. it was atrocious. seriously. made me a little leery of the Best Brown Ale i had on Friday nite (saturday?) but that was at the opposite end of the spectrum.. very nice beer.Hop Hearty was great.

I kinda liked the Third Coast, but I was ready for an extreme sweet malt bomb. Reminded me of Lagunitas Brown Shugga, but with more alcohol. It WAS tough to finish though. About 2/3 of the way through I started to struggle with it.i had a Third Coast.. pretty sure it was the same one you had.. i actually did pour it out. it was atrocious. seriously. made me a little leery of the Best Brown Ale i had on Friday nite (saturday?) but that was at the opposite end of the spectrum.. very nice beer.Hop Hearty was great.

I haven't had either, but according to the links that Furley put below, neither has more alcohol than Brown Sugga.I kinda liked the Third Coast, but I was ready for an extreme sweet malt bomb.

I had the Old Ale (9%)...I noticed the alcohol more in it...it wasnt hidden as well as the Brown Shugga. But while drinking it, I was thinking that it reminded me of the Lagunitas - like I could actually taste brown sugar or maybe turbinado sugar...I haven't had either, but according to the links that Furley put below, neither has more alcohol than Brown Sugga.I kinda liked the Third Coast, but I was ready for an extreme sweet malt bomb.

Your box is sealed. Should be shipped in the next day or two.Guess Im lone sharkin it tonight...
After the Mad Anthony Stout, a Homebrewed Oatmeal Stout, and a North Coast Rasputin stout, Im gonna move on to a Boulder Hazed & Infused, one of my favorite quenchers.
Looks like most of the beer guys have turned in for the night expect for the west coaster, Skylord, who is still lingering...
BTW, Skylord, I havent had the Hopsickle yet...I just put it in the fridge for tomorrow night. I was gonna take it to the beach with me but decided Id be better off drinking something Ive had beforem like Hazed & Infuzed, Mojo IPA and Aprihop. That way I wouldnt have to take notes for a BA review, cause I really want to review that one.
Any chance you can let me know whats coming so I can start putting together a list of beers to pick up???????

Is that too much? I ordered a case of Alesmith IPA bombers and the box they cames in is perfect for shipping. I just filled it back up with a veriety pack. I can go smaller but it will take ma a little longer to find the right packaging. I was figuring you could fille it and send the same box back. It is perfect.Sure - this is just a guess from what I remember. Package is not available to look at right now.

The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!Beer guy called me earlier. Distributor got it today, he'll have it tomorrow. I sure hope this is much ado about nuttin.SE Va. Called my beer guy and he said he normally doesn't get it until July. I was likeWhere are you located?I was going to crack it tonight but at 10.8% alcohol I sort of chickened out for a Monday nightSpeakeasy IPA. Decent, but I've had better.
Still trying to find the Stone RIS.
Not sure why Stone would release a Stout in April. Guess I'll drink one now (within the next week or so) and hold onto a few until winter.

FatMax sent me an IPA that reminded me alot of the Piper: Mad River Sunset IPA. It kinda has the same "woodiness" (the only way I know to describe it).

So check this...Firefox has one of those google search bars in the top right hand corner of the browser. But its a pull down menu where you can add more search engines. Pretty much every site that has search capability can be added. I have Beer Advocate and Rate Beer as pulldown options.Still using IE
So when someone posts a beer you've never heard of...copy and paste the name to the window, pull down to Beer Advocate and click enter. The next page is the search results like you were at Beer Advocate when you searched for it. Good stuff.
