    Bummer. Lagunitas without a doubt gives you the most bang for the buck. I spent some last fall in France but never saw any American beers except for a couple from Brooklyn Brewery.

    I have a feeling you will enjoy the Deep Woods beers you explore @defunksta .

    I went without Revolution for 3ish years into my craft journey, so you are not alone @The_Kriek_Freak .Hope you are close to Ohio or New Jersey to pick some up, or they reach Pennsylvania soon. https://revbrew.com/beer/distributors

    Have wings in the oven, so this beer pairs well.

    AleSmith IPA

    Drove over to Tampa from Orlando to do some tourist stuff and then lunch at Cigar City. Enjoyed Florida Man DIPA which was very light bodied and flavorful and Jai Alai Double IPA which at 10% ABV was from the Hop Slam/Hoptimum school of boozy DIPA's. Picked up some goodies that i will post in the Beer Haul thread someday soon. Glad we visited here, definitely worthy of a stop!

    Currently enjoying a light WCIPA with new school hops from Magnanimous. Pretty nicely done!
    Cheers!

    Yep, not sure where in France you were but we get a good chunk of Brooklyn’s portfolio minus the Black chocolate stout. The rest of those SN or Lagunitas are indeed great value for little money.

    I've never had that, but I tend to like their products. How would you describe the flavor?

    I haven't found a Cafe Deth, but can testify to how good Dark Matter Coffee is. I also lived in Chicago and did enjoy Revolution, but did not drink any of these BBA Revolution bombs until moving elsewhere.

    I'm not familiar with the others, but Alesmith IPA is a sure winner in my book! That encourages me to look for the others on your list.

    We were in Paris and Strasbourg a majority of the time. Tried to enjoy French beers as much as possible.

    Their 4 PKs (Deep Woods) IMO are the best value to taste out there BA across the styles ,I miss access to them.

    Jesus on a Forkllift, a maple coffee barrel-aged imperial stout, from Exile Brewing in Iowa. Looks good, smells great, but the taste doesn’t follow as much as I’d like - not getting enough barrel or coffee. Maple is there though, and it hides the 12.5% well. Enjoyable overall - would drink it again. Cheers!
