I think I died and went to craft beer heaven

[LynneSin]

Dogfish Head 120 in my favorite Led Zeppelin pint glass.

Find this beer and drink it. But don't drink all of it because this stuff is suppose to age well too. I have 8 more that will be stashed and saved for future drinking reasons.

1. I ran across a pretty good one on my trip to Canada

La Fin Du Monde - Unibroue

I found out I can get this one locally, but haven't had a chance to go get some yet.

4. Do they sell it in the states?

[Major Nikon]

10. Yes

I found it online at Total Wine which has stores in several states. It may be available at other outlets which have big selections. It's kinda expensive here so I won't be buying very much, but I don't drink all that much beer anyway.

12. at 9% abv you don't need too many

I don't know why I can't get that trough my dumb kids heads. They'd rather drink a case of miller lite and I'd rather have a couple of something good - whether it's good for flavor or good for kick. La Fin Du Monde happens to have both.


I should have drank around them when they were growing up so they'd learn. My wife and I made a choice to not drink in front of the kids (other than very rare special occasions - a toast at a wedding or something) because we thought it would be a better influence (plus, her first husband, their father, was an alcoholic and we thought we were trying to not reinforce that).

But now I'm stuck drinking shitty beer at their houses. :/

13. I've had other high alcohol content beers and La Fin Du Monde didn't taste like one

I'm a one or two beer guy or any other alcohol for that matter.

2. You haven't experienced craft beer heaven until you have been to the Great American Beer Festival!

3. I think I'll go try to track some down later today.

Thanks for the tip!

[LynneSin]

8. If you can't find it we'll talk and maybe I can get some to you

gotta try this one!

[cwydro]

15. I tried yesterday.

It's illegal to sell in North Carolina because of the alcohol content.

I was very disappointed. I went out in the pouring rain to find it lol.

They told me I could get it in Virginia.

[LynneSin]

16. Yeah it is at 18%

wow weird laws

[cwydro]

17. Wow, did not know that.

Yeah, NC barely started selling booze back when I was a teenager lol.

There are still dry counties.

5. IPAs are especially addictive.

6. For a minute there

I thought you moved to Portland!

[LynneSin]

7. Why would I move there when I live in the best state for Beer

We have the best and most innovated brewery in the country with Dogfish Head along with some great up and coming breweries like 16 Mile and Mispillion River (I had a stout from them that was just sublime!). Why move elsewhere when the best is right here at home!

[Tom Kitten]

9. well OK

I'll just say it's nice to see such pride for one's home!

Nuff said!

14. That's a nice one. But try Green Flash Le Freak too!

It does not disappoint.

18. Gilgamesh Mamba

I live in 'Potland' here in Oregon where I occasionally see bumper stickers proclaiming "Keep Portland Beered"
Last week I dropped into a local tavern to shoot some pool with a bud.
The chalk board behind the bar listed several local micro brews.
I decided on Gilgamesh Breweries' Mamba. Was very yummy.
Laughed a lot reading reviews when I got home and googled them: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22432/58039/

Humorous brewers too: ---> http://www.gilgameshbrewing.com/
