    For my other PA people or people outside of PA who'd like to participate - you have the opportunity to drink just one last beer from PA . . . what do you choose and why?

    I'm going to start it off and say I'd go with Tattered Flag's (located in Middletown, PA right outside of Harrisburg) BBA War Bonds Stout. For some odd reason, I absolutely loved this when I had it at York Hibrewnation. I felt that it had a ton of coffee with just the right amount of bourbon to not overwhelm it.

    Alien Church. Because it smells, tastes and feels like nothing else I have ever consumed before. Hits the sweet spot for me.

    Very nice. Tired Hands, correct? May have to look for this.

    It is Tired Hands. Not a super juice bomb. Reminds me more of a Hill Farmstead-type beer than a Tree House-type beer. They release it about once every 4-6 weeks or so. You'll have to wait a bit. They released (and sold out) a couple hours ago.

    It was a toss up between that and the BBA War Bonds Stout for me. I feel that this year's SMS lacks the coffee flavor it had last year.

    Toss up between Flying Mouflan and Java Cask. In all honesty though I never pass up on fresh Dirtwolf. There is something to be said for just walking into a grocery store and just grabbing a really solid DIPA right off the shelf.

    If you end up going to Pizza boy next week (Bourbon SSU) I have cans of alien Church from today. We could work something out.

    Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale. I love the taste and the ABV is low enough to have a few or more of them.

    Some disclaimers before I make a choice that I'll probably change in twenty minutes...

    Really surprised at the choice of a Tattered Flag beer. Obviously everyone is entitled, which makes it all better, but to me, TF is just now finding their footing. Still some swings and misses, though. I live less than a mile from the place and have been a good number of times, including the Homebrew Festival last weekend. Don't want to sound like I'm bashing the opinion or the opiner, or TF. BBA War Bonds is a solid beer, too.

    Enough rambling, time to make a choice....

    Either Troegs BBA Flying Mouflan or Voodoo's Cowbell.

    If I had to pick a beer that is available year around - I'd go Yards GW Tavern Porter.

    I'm not sure, that's a really tough question, but Draai Laag sprang to mind after running through the usual suspects.

    Haha, I couldn't even pick one brewery, let alone a single beer!

    It would be a Tired Hands for sure.......it's a tossup between Double Watermelon Milkshake or Alien Church. Based on the way more availability of AC, I'd probably pick that since I'd have a better chance of actually getting one if it was my last PA beer.

    Alien Church is soooooooooooooooo good.
