    Hey BA Community,

    So, I am turning 26 on the 18th of this month and I will also be graduating from Western Kentucky University with my Master's in Microbiology a few days later (GO TOPS!). I would love to try and get at least 1 or 2 bottles for graduation/b-day but I don't know what to search for. My cellar isn't too deep anymore as I made 2 trades for some high value bottles but I would like to try to get some type of imperial stout/Bourbon barrel stout/RIS. I live in KY and have access to most things GI/Founders/Bells/FFF.

    If you have some suggestions on what I should try to hunt down for my graduation/b-day tasting I would appreciate the help! Keep in mind my cellar is no longer too deep after trading for GI Rare/Beat/ and GI Vanilla. So hopefully suggestions could be obtainable for me.


    Cheers!! and thanks for the suggestions in advance!

    I do not have the GI Rare,Vanilla, or Beat anymore. I drank them when I passed my oral exams/thesis defense. Sorry. Should have specified that.

    Are these no longer in your possession? They seem like perfect beers for the occasion!

    Congrats!

    Mark,

    First off, thanks!!! They are no longer in my possession. I drank them when I passed my oral exams/thesis defense. I kinda wish I had saved them but I thought at the time I would be able to find some other stuff to "fill the void".

    I say try to get your hands on a trade for the Firestone Parabola if you can. They just released the new vintage!

    Though there are probably not many bottles still floating around, but since your in/from Kentucky I would suggest trying to see if anyone local might be able to hook you up with this bad boy. (I have a bottle in my cellar)

    Kuntucky Old Friends Bourbon Barrel Ale

    Gotcha. Too many celebrations, huh? :grinning:

    Parabola is a great suggestion, and has just started hitting stores out west, so it should start popping up in trade threads soon. Other than that, see if you can trade for some Uinta beers from their Crooked Line series. Labrynth (barrel aged stout) and Cockeyed Cooper (barrel aged barleywine) are two that come to mind as very nice beers that you shouldn't have to trade an arm and a leg to get. Epic Big Bad Baptist and Alesmith Speedway Stout are also nice options. Good luck with your search!

    You should drink a Black Tuesday! As a dentist, you will probably see the irony of consuming that sugar packed diabetic mess.
