    I'm probably going to have one of my home brew milk stouts now because of this. They are awesome.
    Not my first time. But I just had one and as usual, it's the GOAT.

    Had one tonight. I disliked the taste, too much spice which I have discovered I dislike in beer.

    Try heating it in a skillet on a stove...weird as I usually hate spiced beers, but liked this one. Just had a few of them the other night. I see 21st has a beer brewed with Dates. I need to try that.

    I usually hit the Canton Lizard, but have been to the Fairlawn one as well. Twice a month in Canton, once early to pick up the glass of the month and later on to help finish the tour.

    Have a friend that works at Thirsty Dog.

    One year in college he had a lot of extra beer to be had for little to no money so a thirsty dog party happend. Needless to say, a lot of puking happened as people were drinking it like it was natty light.

    Had a couple of Sam Adam's Winter Lager last night. It was meh, not a huge fan. No desire to have another one.

    I tried the 12 Dogs of Christmas. It's my favorite Winter/Christmas beer so far. Thanks to all that recommended it.

    I also picked up some DFH Hellhound and a couple bottles of their Pearl Jam. We had the Hellhound on Thanksgiving, but haven't tried the Pearl Jam yet. Maybe this weekend we will.

    Sounds like a nice assortment. I'm betting that was a good time. I'll have to head down there sometime, as it sounds wonderful!

    God, I hate when bars have a limited selection.

    Thank God they have a good relationship with Bear Republic. Their Hop Rod Rye is absolutely wonderful. http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/bear-republic-hop-rod-rye-ale/8048/

    Looking forward to cracking a beer tonight, probably going to a bar near me that brews its own beers.

    Last night was Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout night for me. Love that stuff.

    Tonight I think it's going to be Founders Breakfast Stout.
  • Commander of Awesome
    Not sure I've ever had a breakfast stout. What makes it a "breakfast" stout?

    That's just what Founders calls it. I guess it's a play on it being brewed with oatmeal and the coffee flavor.

    Valley Wine Cellar just got a big shipment when I stopped in today after work. I picked up some Southern Tier Old Man Winter Ale, DFH Chicory Stout, Founders Breakfast Stout and Founders Backwoods Bastard. The ST Old Man Winter Ale wasn't bad. Okay but nothing great. The Founders Backwoods Bastard is A+ top notch chit, mang. Wow. Greatness. Haven't tried the Breakfast Stout or the Chicory Stout yet.

    My Giant Eagle which already had pretty great selection as far as grocery stores go has just about doubled their bomber selection and got a whole bunch of new beers in as well and added another shelf of beers. Very happy about this.

    Had an Abita Christmas Ale the other day and enjoyed it.
