The full sentence on the beer was probably something like "If you want to keep an idiot busy, put beer on its side, roll to other side, and read the text."

I think it was just keeping you busy....

My go to liquor store stopped carrying my favourite beer over a year ago and I couldn't find it anywhere else. Then I'm walking down the aisle of a giant grocery chain's liquor store and there are flats and flats of it sitting there in all their glory. And $2 cheaper a 6 pack than I was paying before. I forgot how much I loved this stuff.

My Dad has been going though all my Great Grandfathers pictures/slides (my family is full of photography enthusiasts) and he found this pic. I love it since vitamin R is my cheap beer of choice.

I'm so jealous that you can buy your beer at the same time you're doing your grocery shopping. Fuck having to go to an entirely separate store across town.

Unfortunately we can't, it was a separate store beside the actual grocery store.

Dumbest shit ever. Thank god we have a billion skuzzy shithole liquor stores taking up every spare CRU on a major roadway. God forbid that large companies drive out the little guys, because those little guys sure add to the ambiance of our urban form!

What, having 10 seedy liquor stores within a 5 minute drive at any moment who all carry the exact same shit isnt the ideal?

We've been drinking this -

Fun because of the backstory and quite tasty!

We cracked a Weyerbacher Blasphemy I've had for 4 ish years and another for 2 ish years two weeks ago - that beer really does age very well.

We cracked the Westvleteren Blondes (some of them) that we've had for 1 or 3 years depending on the bottle....MAN that shit is amazing. I don't care for 8 much but I love the blonde and the 12.

Is there a good site you can order beer by the six-pack from? I want to try some things other than what the little store downstairs from me carries.

Mostly because they have like 3 shelves of IPAs and one shelf of other stuff.

I've usedHalf Time Beveragea couple of times. The shipping is steep, but free if your order is over $100. The way they limit order sizes for shipping purposes actually makes it kinda hard to qualify for free shipping if you're ordering everything in 12oz bottles though. They have a great selection.

Getting a beer of the month club membership may be cheaper if all you want to do is try new beers.

The approach I take is to order some things in larger bottles that I already know I like but simply cannot get in my area, then throw in a few 12 oz try em's that I haven't seen locally. The shipping ends up being free and I don't end up paying more than I typically would on a per bottle basis.

If you can find it, buy it. Best stout I've ever had. It is kind of like Pumking if Pumking didn't taste like water.

I've been making the rounds of the various Unibroue beers I can get my hands on and this has come out as my favorite thus far:

Lots of ripe banana flavored esters. I've yet to encounter a weak beer in their rotation.

I have two of Warlocks in my fridge. They taste exactly like Pumking with a little bit of roastiness. You really think Pumking tastes like water? That seems crazy to me, it's 8.6%. To me it tastes lighter than traditional pumpkin beers insomuch as it doesn't have overbearing spice notes and has a nice graham crackery finish. But it doesn't taste like water.

Also, I don't find Warlock to be very "stout". It seems much closer to a brown ale. I definitely would not put it in even my top 20 stouts, though it isn't terrible.

I find Pumking extraordinarily overrated. Yes to me it tastes fairly watery. But I almost exclusively drink heavy IPAs so my taste profile is a bit different.
