Buy*. Take a lap, Vinny.

A better deal for New Englanders: skip ordering at the bar and by tickets BeerAdvocate's Extreme Beer Fest. Tickets usually run $50 and Sam Adams usually bring Utopia, KMF and some of their other cool shit. Additionally, Funky Buddha, Cigar City and Crooked Stave were at 2014's.

The mocha one was on draft at Stoddard's in DTX. Might still be. It's good.

creepily persistent lumpy, white head.

I like this song, unironically, but the real masterpiece here is the video. It's pretty excellent.

Craft Beer Cellar has Kuku now. Closest to you is in Newton though.

Cranberry's a natural diuretic. My girlfriend drinks it when she's on her period. What is it, your period?

Working under the assumption that they're not doing anything better, sure, I agree. But there are plenty of people out there making a buck three-eighty and working two jobs with kids who can either eat or vote, and I don't blame them for choosing to eat.

The best/worst part of this beer is that it was formerly know as "Genghis Pecan."

"To say he did is to shoot an arrow into a barn and then paint a bull's-eye around it."

Well-played.

Zangief would crush Lesnar's head between his thighs like sparrow's egg.

You get a star for being the only person in these threads that gets it.

I now feel slightly embarrassed that I've avoided this beer because of its dumb name. I feel more embarrassed because I didn't even balk at drinking Mikkeller's beer made with weasel shit.

Great point. It would explain why it's so heavy on vanilla which is a very strong flavor.

Interesting. I do wonder if seasonal creep has affected some of the quality. It wouldn't be different for the spice only beers, but for ones that use sugar pumpkins or yams it could definitely be the case.

With Funky Buddha around, Cigar City is arguably not even the best brewery in Florida.

Is it worth driving West of Worcester for?

Considering she was a Boston girl, yeah, it had to be the beer.

I've got a buddy in my homebrew club who saves some every year; by his account it's been in decline since 2011 with this year's being the worst. I remember loving it in 2012, thinking it wasn't as good last year, and this year, well, you saw how it placed.
