Clown Shoes Porcine Unidragon was excellent. I think it could rank right up there with some of the big boys in the BA stout category.
Talon Double IPA, caught me by surprise and only $5.99 a bomber. Pretty sure there are only about 7 reviews so far.
Every year... Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter. It's like, nobody even knows or cares that this beer exists, and is amazing...
AleSmith Speedway Stout. This just popped up in downstate Ill and it may be the best non BA stout I've ever had. Drinkable at 12%. Everything I like about Expedition , FIS & Plead the 5th.... in one 750 ml for like $13
I agree. Had this one last night. It was a little on the heavy side for BBA, but I like that. Keeping a few to age, and see what happens.
WAYYYY more expensive, though. Only store of I've sure has stock in SF is $20 for a 375 ml. That's ridiculous.
Some great new or "new to me" beers the last year or so: Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat (and the vanilla bean version too) Schlafly TIPA and AIPA Stone Enjoy By Boulevard Grainstorm and 80 Acre Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche (smoked dopplebock) - The oak makes a big difference
Rogue - Voodoo Doughnut surprised me in a bad way. Short's - The Liberator and Publican Porter in a good way.
Great call...this IPA absolutely surprised me. I expected an average IPA for the price and lack of real interest.
