    Whether they are aged in bourbon, scotch, or whiskey barrels or made with zinfandel grapes, what are your favorite beers that are "alcohol themed"?

    You mean barrel aged?
    All beers (except NA) are alcohol themed. Thus the need for clarification that, this one beer, right here, doesn't contain alcohol!
    In fact, even NA beers are infused with a small amount of alcohol.

    The real question is, what is the best tobacco infused cigar?

    Where to begin?
    Off the top of my head, and in no particular order...

    Parabola
    Curieux
    King Henry
    Fruet/Cuir/Bois
    Sucaba
    Bramble Rye
    KBS
    Bigfoot (Whiskey Barrel edition)

    ...and I'm doing an injustice to all the ones I couldn't think of or never had, but these'd all be among my top choices.

    Central Waters BBBW and BCBCS are my top two, as of now. And my favorite local (as in non coveted BA whale) is Mother Earth BBA Tripel Overhead.

    I love when they add brandy to the middle of ferment.... Wait, that's port. I love port.

    Clearly all beer is alcohol themed. I'm speaking about fun stuff like Deschutes XXV Anniversary Black Butte Porter, which is bourbon barrel aged. Or Allagash Curieux (aged in bourbon barrel), or Allagsh Victoria (made with chardonnay grapes) or Karl Strauss' 21st Anniversary Belgian Strong made with Old Vine Zin grapes, or any particular Scotch Ale which stands out. Just for fun!

    They actually bottle Black Butte XXV before they put it in the bourbon barrels. The bottles just kinda rattle around in there.

    Scotch Ale is actually a style, rather than an infusion or aging process.. Just sayin... Barrel aged, I think is what you mean. And this thread has served a purpose.

    I think she means to say "What are the best beers that incorporate spirits and/or other fermented drinks and/or their ingredients?" I think.....

    Bourbon barrel aged Buckler is awesome.

    Seriously, though, Stone 10-10-10 made with muscat grapes was pretty good.

    Can we just change the title to
    "What are your favorite types of beer to Barrel Age?"
    Another fun title would be
    "What is the best type barrel to age beer in?"
