    Yeah man, I enjoyed track 8 a lot out of a bottle never had it on draft but that deliverance was even better I think.

    Don't know if Central Waters (Wisconsin) is available out there, but their Brewers Reserve series is exceptional, especially the Barleywine Ale. Plus, here anyway, it's not hideously expensive at $14 a 4-pack for 12 oz. bottles.

    BA old rasputin... Totally underrated here in OH, and its phenomenal. North Coast is out your way, maybe there its less than 25 bucks for a 500ml too

    Revolution Bean Gene was fantastic, and i can definitely recommend any of the BBA stuff from Alewerks Brewing Co (Cafe Royale in particular) in Virginia. Neither place is very big so you may have trouble finding them, but if you can trade for some you'll be pleased.

    Anderson Valley Huge Arker is a Wild Turkey bourbon-barrel aged imperial stout that was recommended recently when I asked for something to quench my thirst for off-season BCBS. It was astoundingly smooth, delicious, and satisfying!

    Agree! Once you've had FW stuff and Bourbon County you've hit the top.

    Boulevard's Bourbon Barrel Quad is pretty fantastic and relatively cheap compared to some other barrel aged beers. I think I paid $15 for a 75 cl bottle.
