Curly JTart of Darkness. Wow! What a wonderful sour Stout. Expensive, but worth it if you are a sour fan.

The story I heard is the same as yours, except I heard the owner was actually in Ohio for the launch.Curly J;1542674 wrote:See post #7042. -
Mooney44CardsSince I'm not on here that often, its impossible to keep up with this thread, but has anyone mentioned how Merry Maker (formerly Merry Mischief) from Samuel Adams is absolutely delicious, one of the best Christmas beers, and easily the tastiest beer they brew?

TiernanAnybody ever had a Fuller's Vintage Limited? Only brewed once a year in late October, 12% alcohol / 16oz bottle. $78 for 12. Bought a case over the weekend and will enjoyed after the Buckeye's slaughter scUM on Saturday.

That would make more since with the owner being in Ohio for the launch.Mooney44Cards;1542803 wrote:The story I heard is the same as yours, except I heard the owner was actually in Ohio for the launch.
I don't believe I've even seen it this year. Will have to check The Jungle on Wednesday when they have their Zombie Dust Pint Nite.Mooney44Cards;1542805 wrote:Since I'm not on here that often, its impossible to keep up with this thread, but has anyone mentioned how Merry Maker (formerly Merry Mischief) from Samuel Adams is absolutely delicious, one of the best Christmas beers, and easily the tastiest beer they brew?
I'll have to look for this. I'm usually never over in the English section unless I'm looking for a specific beer.Tiernan;1542808 wrote:Anybody ever had a Fuller's Vintage Limited?

Yeah I had one a month or so ago and was really surprised. I tried to get a few more but they're sold out. Now the only way to get it is a buy a pack of bombers with the Griffin's Bow (terrible) and a Baltic IPA.Mooney44Cards;1542805 wrote:Since I'm not on here that often, its impossible to keep up with this thread, but has anyone mentioned how Merry Maker (formerly Merry Mischief) from Samuel Adams is absolutely delicious, one of the best Christmas beers, and easily the tastiest beer they brew? -
Mooney44CardsI've probably only ever had like 2 or 3 other gingerbread stouts, but Merry Maker blew them all out of the water.

wildcats20Just picked up a random assortment at Meijer. A few repeats, but mostly new to me...
DFH 60
DFH 90
Stone IPA
SA Winter Lager
Goose Island 312
Goose Island Honker's Ale
GLBC Commodore Perry IPA
Bell's Two Hearted Ale
Bell's Oarsman Ale
Founders Centennial IPA
Left Hand Sawtooth Ale -
Commander of AwesomeLot of win in that pick up. I know I'm in the minority, but I prefer 60 min to to the 90 min IPA.

I used to like the 90 better, but I find myself drinking the 60 more and more when I can find it.Commander of Awesome;1543119 wrote:Lot of win in that pick up. I know I'm in the minority, but I prefer 60 min to to the 90 min IPA. -
Curly JDecent grab. The only ones I would have passed on are the ones that start with G. Not a fan of the GLBC and I gave up GI because Fuck InBev.

Mooney44CardsCommodore Perry is a pretty shitty IPA. It's also a pretty weak offering from GLBC. Dortmunder Gold is probably the only year round from them that is worthwhile. Most of their seasonals are decent to great though.

Yeah, I love Dortmunder. I couldn't remember if I had ever had Commodore Perry, so I picked it up.Mooney44Cards;1543149 wrote:Commodore Perry is a pretty shitty IPA.

I still drink their Nightstalker when I can find it, even though fuck AB InBev.Curly J;1543135 wrote:Decent grab. The only ones I would have passed on are the ones that start with G. Not a fan of the GLBC and I gave up GI because Fuck InBev.
Eh, I think their Edmund Fitzgerald is a solid porter, and it's year-round.Mooney44Cards;1543149 wrote:Commodore Perry is a pretty shitty IPA. It's also a pretty weak offering from GLBC.

However, I think you're right about the seasonal stuff, and it almost seems indisputable that it's their strong suit. -
