That one isn't bad, but if you can find a Rochefort 10 or ABT 12 they're great. The La Trappe quad is great, especially if you can find it bourbon aged.
These are regular stuff I can find here, I get nothing special and can't even actually buy Roch in Arkansas

You can really taste the whiskey in this. Too thin for an imperial stout but it tastes fine. I wouldn't buy it again but it's decent. The nose on it is terrible however. It smells metallic.
Digfish head piercing pils=good
The peanut butter choc stout I tried=better than expected.
But what I really am loving in the last year is whiskry. And my fav is jeffersons chef collaboration.

Dogfish Head really rung my beer-bell from like 2009-2012.. since then I feel like they're getting stale.
I have rediscovered Ballast Point and Troeg's though.

The chef's collab is good? Jefferson's 18 was killer but lots of what they have been doing hasn't been that intriguing.

Brewers have been giving away their spent grain to farmers for centuries now without any ill effects to the food supply. It is a win-win relationship, and there is no way anything is happening to that spend grain that doesn't happen to most hay. As a matter of fact, much worse stuff probably happens to the hay that cattle graze on. This is basically the FDA using a loophole in the rules to insert themselves into the middle of this relationship, probably because of money.
My local supermarket had Southern Tier Creme Brulee on tap so I got my growler filled up with it. Drinking it with ice cream is amazing.
Also got the Stone sampler pack. I think the only one in there I haven't already tried is the Oaked Bastard Ale. I've had it not oaked and am interested to try it.

The Stone Oaked Bastard is very very good. I prefer it over the original by far!

Help me out New England beer friends!
A couple years ago a good friend of mine was in Vermont and he had some beer that he really, really enjoyed, but he can't remember the name of it. It was a fairly local (i.e., New England) brewery and the name of the beer was something snake-ish, like maybe viper, or sidewinder, or something like that. I'd like to see if I can track some down for his birthday. I've done a bit of Googling but I haven't seen anything that looks right. Anyone know what beer I'm talking about?
p.s. No, it's not The Abyss: Special Edition.

WTF. This has to be Anheuser Busch and Miller lobbying. They can afford this bullshit. Plus, don't the Big 3 have a large stake in many of the distributors themselves? I forget what it is, but I remember when I watched the Beer Wars documentary they mention some serious shady shit that the Big 3 are involved in when it comes to distribution and attempts to stomp out the craft breweries.
