I have a lot of the stouts from my haul left to try (holiday weekend, FTW) but I keep coming back to Founder's Breakfast Stout. It's just so delicious.

Drinking one now. It hurts me that I can't buy Founders in AL.

Picked up some Samuel Smith Oatmeal stout and some Hoegarden. It will be a nice change of pace, going from dark to light. Of course I still have some nice pale ale's in the fridge, so it's gonna be a great night!

Was going through my Abyss and Dissident to fast so picked up 24 Deschutes Jubelale, nice and tasty ale, if you get a chance you should grab some to try.

Good stop at Total Wine tonight for the Xmas weekend beers:

Old Rasputin Imperial Stout
AleSmith Speedway Stout
Chimay Grand Reserve
Ommegang Hennepin
Saison Dupont
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Grand Teton Au Naturale (for the wife)

sounds pretty good! I love Chimay and Ommegang and also the celebration ale is very nice. Haven't had the other ones though

Whoops. That should have said Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. I would recommend giving it a try if you like imperial stouts. I have yet to try the Speedway but have heard only good things about it.

5 out of 7 ain't bad. ;)

Five minutes ago, I got the news that Ballast Point will begin distributing to Alabama starting early 2011.

24/7/365 Sculpin stay on my mind.

Had all three of those over the weekend. Very, very solid stouts. I could drink them many times. Did have the last of my Founder's Breakfast Stout which made a very big sad face appear.

I wish I'd have gotten the Weasel because i considered the Mikkeller regular to be the worst of the three (though that's not saying much).

Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast is the "worst" of the three, yes. It's good, but Peche Mortel and Black Albert are world-class.

so here's beers on tap at the growler store i'm stopping by later...what would you pick up? the terrapins are in abundance due to local...

Besides the terrapins, I've only had the Bells...have read good things about the Captain Sigs

Chateau Jiahu on-tap? I'd be all over that. Also, fresh Southern Tier 2xIPA on-tap would probably be great as well.
