    Prairie Beers are worth seeking out.

    Most recently, KBS met my already high expectations. Really enjoyed it.

    Crazy indeed! I did go into that one expecting very mild, subtle barrel aspects. On the flip side, I had Prairie Bomb! on tap in Kansas City, and that made my disappointment list, whereas others are citing it here. Subjectivity abounds! :slight_smile:

    Firestone 18. Pure greatness. I'd tried 17 a year or so ago, and read up on the blending techniques and everything, and I thought the premise was pretty cool. When I cracked open the 18 though, I was blown away. One of the best beers ive ever had.

    Had Triple Sunshine and West Ashley over the weekend.

    They lived up to the hype. A lot.

    It's well worth it! Admittedly my reaction to the first sip was, "whoa, this is way too sweet as the chocolate flavor hit me like....well....a bomb! :-) but it settled down after that into something amazing. I still have to try BBS and Founders Breakfast Stout to compare, but I can't imagine liking anything more than Prairie Bomb. My first thought after finishing it was that I must hunt down more

    KBS, I had heard way too much about it and it didn't disappoint at all

    Alpha King. Heard it was ridiculously good APA that gets over looked because of the other 3 Floyds brews and how easy it is to get in the area. I was not lied to.

    Ten fidy, tasted exactly as I expected. Just a thick chewy imperial stout.

    Parabola, Pirate Bomb, and Victory at Sea. They may have even exceeded them.
