Uninspiring domestic in my tourist mug. Sometimes you just have to make do

Yuengling is pretty solid, all things considered.

It’s actually better than I remembered. I guess I’ll have another

Board and Brews has ‘18 Bourbon County on tap.

I had my first ever BCBS variant recently. It was the Cafe de Olla version. Has coffee and orange in it. 

I enjoyed it, but it was $28 for a single bottle.

I bought some Dude’s IPAs at Costco the other day for Christmas Eve. I love the 16 oz cans. 3 of those bad boys is perfect

Apparently they're bottling Pliny the Younger in 2020.

I expect one of you to send me a bottle.

There was a sale on Red Horse, $27 a case which is cheap here. It's a 8% abv beer from Philippines. It's not my favorite but I've got 2 cases to kill

I've actually had that from my time in the Philippines. I remember not really caring for the taste, but the 8% was felt, as I had never had a beer with that high of abv before.

You definitely feel the 8%. I much prefer the San Miguel Pale Pilsen in an icy cold bottle but the export version just isn't the same.

I think there was a San Miguel Extra Dry as well right? I remember having 3 types of beer constantly stocked in my fridge. San Miguel, San Miguel Light, and I want to say it was Super Dry. 

[arch stanton]

Yeah there's a few versions but the original is by far my favorite. When I go there my sis-in-law stocks me up on San Miguel and fresh mango. Those 2 things make the noise and heat worthwhile

$6 for a bomber of Lagunitas Imperial Stout is one of the best deals ever. 

There's better stouts available for sure, but come on. 27 cents an ounce for a nearly 10% stout is unheard of. 

Fuck I once paid $30 for a 12.7 ounce imperial stout from Hill Farmstead. Was it better? Well of course it was. But fuck man it wasn't THAT much better.

The point is, I'm drunk and spend way too much on beer. So finding a good deal is occasionally pretty gnar.

I'm going to need them to bring back Lagunitas Sucks.

We never got that fresh. It was always 2 months old. Same with Stone IPA and Hop Stoopid.

New Hampshire sucks.

Sucks has a shelf life of about 2 weeks. It's fantastic when fresh though. Stone IPA holds up pretty well for a few months. I buy cases of it often at Costco.

I've been drinking Stone's Enter Night Pilsner that they partnered with Metallica on. Most of Stone's stuff is pretty good

Always like their Enjoy By series as well. The one beer they stopped making that I greatly miss is the Oaked Arrogant Bastard. Also the smoked vanilla Porter

I just got a 6 pack of the bourbon barrel aged Arrogant Bastard. I'm not sure if that is the same one you are referring to.

No, it didn't have bourbon. It was a just like the regular Arrogant Bastard, but they brewed it with oak chips, or some shit.

You've got Stoneface, though - they're pretty good. Also, when I lived in NH I would get the Founders wet hop Harvest Ale when it came out...one of my all-time favorites. Its only around for about a month or so a year; evidently Founders stops making everything else while they're producing it.

I've been drinking Deschutes Fresh Haze IPA. Surprisingly good.

I loved that beer but haven't seen it around here the past couple years. Glad they're still making it.

Stone has a good beer finder if you go to their website.
