    Anyone else try this year's CW Bourbon Stout yet? Seems much thinner than normal. Light on the bourbon taste of past years.

    Yes. Disagree. Disagree.
    Huge fan of this year's.

    Totally disagree. Way thicker than last year. I mentioned specifically to my wife that I miss the lower ABV, thinner versions of yesteryear.

    Just add some water. Not only do you get a thinner and lower ABV, but you get more! Double winning?

    Thanks. Good to know I probably have a bad 4 pack. Side by side to one last year it's a big flop. Not sure if they go direct to bottle from the barrel or get mixed first to maintain consistency, but could explain it if an off barrel.

    Anyone know the status of TG bombers at Nova? As far as which are still available?

    I was there around 11 this morning and they had plenty of King Sue and Zeelander, a couple cases each of Intergalactic Warrior, Pompeii and about one case of Sosus.

    I didn't see any on Friday, but perhaps I was missing it.

    All these great TG hoppy beers and I can't even trade them for max value, because MN has become a frozen hellhole. #MidwestBeerProblems

    What is the current over-under for number of people that will die waiting in line for Beer Geek Christmas?
