I trade for the Cali-Belgie because you said it was awsome, you better be right!

Just hit shelves here in GA this weekend so it may be around. Not sure how good beer availability is there but it sucked here until the last couple of years.

2 more "4-packs" of Founders Breakfast Stout.. Oh have I missed you!!!
And a Paulaner Mini Keg Oktoberfest! for all the shinanigans

Stopped by a liquor store up here in Mass. and there sat Southern Tier Choklat and Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout so I bought a bomber of each!

Yeah it sucks here, badly....I've literally drank about 75% of the available beers here. The other 25% aren't worth mentioning...high gravity that is. I don't drink anything that isn't 7%+

You're could be missing out then, a good brew isn't always high abv. High alcohol does tend to help with the complexity but isn't what makes craft beer good. I've had many a good brew under 7%. For example the Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout I drink frequently is only 5.7% but its a damn fine beer. I've seen you mention Rate Beer, they score it a 94. Sure most Imperial Stouts (my favorite) are higher, but my advice would not to go by abv alone but let taste dictate what you drink. With that said I do find myself gravitating (excuse the pun) towards higher abv beers but I will never limit my experience based on a alcohol content.

Then you are missing out on an awful lot of good/great beer.

Edit: Looks like Albert beat me to the punch.

Better late then never, but you did miss my post where it said I do dip into the low gravity beers occasionally but I like the complexity of the high gravity brews. Just a preference, again though you have to factor in TN's HORRIBLE distribution. I drink the best of what is available to me....you can bet on that.

Low gravity beers with complexity include many Belgians & American craft beers brewed with Belgian ale yeast strains (seems to be a growing trend,) as well as your brown ale/porter/stout category beers. Try those if you get them in your area.

Here's a pretty timely article from a DC paper, interviewing the brewers at SN & Allagash about this topic:

That's sums up pretty much how I feel. I'd RATHER drink higher ABV 7%+ but occasionally I'll dip into the lower ABV beers. Yeah Imperial stouts are always HIGH ABV, and are my favorite type of beer.

b0rderman · 08-25-2010, 07:27 PM

Albert inspired me to head to the local store...*****es brew is in, along with a good few of the oktoberfest beers...today's haul:

Has anyone had that Stone, DFH, Victory colab yet? I've heard decent things.

Cracked open one of the bottles of *****es brew...wow, the mouthfeel is amazing...very 'fluffy' for such a beer, I like. Don't regret the knee jerk three bottle grab at all...woops!

Jbailey · 08-26-2010, 03:13 PM

Looking for the Dogfish Head B!tches Brew but wasn't in yet.

So I grabbed some Raison D'extra.

b0rderman · 08-26-2010, 03:57 PM

ooo, nice...I've never had the extra.

b0rderman · 08-27-2010, 07:38 PM

two more bottles of b!tches brew for me...now time to get some more cantillon. What'd everyone haul for the weekend?
