There is no beer strong enough for this debate. I'm getting out the Jameson Whisky

In my review that got zapped, I mentioned that a pint of the Dogfish Head Theobroma is making the debate doable.

Awesome, like Theobroma, love WWStout.  And there's a Palo Santo Marron in my fridge that's starting to call my name...

The World Wide stout is like ordering Kobe Beef sliders. $10 for a 12 oz beer. You're like, the quality, it's so ambitious, but then you're like...it's only sliders.

My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.

It's a good bit cheaper at the DFH brewpub  /namedrop

Oh yeah, got some of this waiting for me next time I get back East - the Beer That Dare Not Speak its Name but Hopefully the Image is Copacetic:



Super excited.

So if I get a large beer mug...and I fill the mug with the whiskey like soooo...

This is why I don't keep whiskey in the house. I think I'm all sophisticated but one turns into 3, and I'm making dillas at midnight...

I end up with a lot of 'baby, it's Tuesday.' conversations. Guess babes just don't know how to party.

I like the BB, but like a lot of dogfish beers, it's a cost to enjoyment ratio issue.

The only dogfish I drank that made me want to high five my dog in joy is Burton's baton.

These things sneak up on you. You think they're straight up beer and then when you're finished you notice the 9.4% alcohol thing.

Anyway I can't really recommend it. It's like Guinness if that had 4 times as much alcohol I guess. Just no

Hmmm...Miles Davis beer

My local shop has been doing a nice job rotating in Dogfish's selection.  I'll check in that one.

Yup

A few:

First, when I was out in California this summer, I went to Russian River Brewery Restaurant for the second time.  It is far and away the best brewery in the country.  I went to Dogfish Head's brewpub for the second time about a month later, and thought that Dogfish's brews tasted mediocre.  And that's not the case.  Dogfish is a phenomenal brewery. 

Pliny the Younger wasn't available (only in Feb.), Pliny the Elder was very good (though I'd say a tad overrated; it's brilliant, but not far and away better than other great IPAs).  Another brew I loved was a pale ale they called Happy Hops that was hoppy with a slight blueberry taste despite having no blueberries in it.  It comes from the hops. 

As for more recent experience, I had again last night, Founder's Red's Rye PA, which is an absolutely phenomenal red rye IPA.  It's wonderfully hopped (over 70 IBUs) with a spiciness from the rye. 

I also had some of Dogfish's My Antonio, which a hopped up imperial pilsner.  It's a good beer that I've had before (my wife loves it), but I'd prefer my hops to go with a more standard malt base.

Sierra Nevada's Autumn Tumbler brown ale is tasty, with the expected amount Sierra Nevada liveliness to it.  Sierra Nevada has overtaken Sam Adams as my "Macro-Micro" Brew brewer of choice.
Yup

In my own Lil neck of the woods, got my hands on Southern Tier's imperial oatmeal stout. Eager.

Founders breakfast stout.
Pretty much like everything this co makes, I like the stout, not my most fave of all they produce, but one of my fave stouts.

Bud Light!!!  Always good.

Sorry, beer snobs.  :P

I did try some of the Dogfish Head Punkin Ale the other day on a whim, and found it to be enjoyable.  Very surprised, as normally I hate just about any type of ale or stout (IPAs are the worst-if I wanted bitter beer, I'd just buy some Keystones and save the cash).  Just always preferred lagers and pilsners.
