    I’m starting to get a similarity of thematic value between your “man about town drinking beers” and @M-Fox24 “cute AF trained dog drinking beers everywhere.” That might not make sense, but I know what I mean…

    In the mean time, I’m drinking a 2019 Parabola in branded proper glassware, so I shouldn’t hear any guff from @Resistance88.

    :sunglasses:
    there was a half truth there, Finding Imperial Stouts here has become a chore. Besides Rasputin, Speedway and Parabola it takes some work to find good stuff.

    …and like that, the East Coast takes control of imperial stout inventory. Muhahahahahaha!

    It’s a shame to think that some parts of the country really have a ways to go on providing a diversity of micro brewed options in every style.

    9/7 bottling. Not worth the price tag, but enjoying it nonetheless. Cheers stout advocates!

    The dilemma is i really don't wanna trade anymore :rage:

    It's California. Most people want yellow beers and not Imperial Stouts. We have 3 or 4 that are available, but most shit is ridiculous BBA overpriced crap ( bruery, monkish, el segundo, highland park, smog city only make bba shit and have 0 solid non ba stout options in distro)

    Luckily Stone finally released their IS that , however different, is still good to have.

    I really have 3 or so options local to me and that shit hurts:joy:

    I could see that all the heat makes yellow beer preferable. Not everyone is willing to accept a stout as a good any season style.

    Omnipollo Daidalos…cheap-ish. Got it on sale for $5.99. I like this double-everything gooey monster.

    Angry chair gets a bad wrap for making sugar water but they can make great non adjunct stout and barleywine and make surprisingly good lagers and pale ales.

    So many breweries never even try barleywine…sad. Maybe some day I’ll get back into home brewing and try it. Until then, the hunt is always on.

    Difficult/expensive beer to home brew but a fun challenge. I honestly think angry chair’s “dave’s” series of barleywine is world class.
