Yeah, the Tremens is great stuff! Honestly, this is the highest ABV I believe I've ever had in one go—there're a couple of 12-15% that I recommend, but the 120 IPA had a kind of thin, alcoholic bite at the back that was distracting. Personally, if you do want to branch out into something super10%, I love anything Evil…

That's fair—check out (or don't) Against the Grain's beers sometime. Awful, awful labels, but excellent beers. Think Bell's is Michigan, but close enough for liquor store work.

You know me well. It generally starts at three, though. I'm a lightweight.

Precisely. Their "ancient ales," etc., are hit-or-miss, but I'll keep turning up for them. This beer, though, is basically NyQuil. Which, you know, isn't necessarily a strike against it.

Woo! Spring Break!

That's Bell's Two-Hearted for me. New bar with an intimidating beer list? Two-Hearted. Supposed to grab a sixer for a neighbor's party? Two-Hearted.

Ha, I do, and it has its place in my life—I just have a penchant for heavy, palate-destroying beers, and this presented itself to me. Generally a whiskey guy if I want something to sip and buzz off of, but the 120? Recommended once or twice.

Yeah, this was a fun experiment, but I'll stick to a nice 8% IPA or 10% porter. This is actually the first time they've brought this beer to my corner of the Southeast, so I felt I had to try it.

Name checks out.

It apparently is, according to my local beer dude—all I know is that I'm used to drinking hearty 10% stouts, and I'm feeling giddy and jocular after two of these guys. Love it.

I just drank two pints of Dogfish's 120-Minute IPA (22%! How!?), and this is the hardest I've laughed in several weeks.

And the first is available on the PSN for PS3, at least, if you're craving some nostalgia. I'm curious to see how it holds up.

I fucking loved those games, and you're the only person I've seen who recalls them. They're great evolutions of the G&G ethos, and far more fair.

Stay out longer, and you'll dustify.

I come from a Frogmore stew family, but it's the same experience. Dumping a six gallon pot of steaming shrimp, corn, and sausage onto a picnic table covered with newspaper and then tearing through it with a passel of friends is a 100% social experience.

<voiello>Holy fahther.</voiello>

lol only libtrads try to justify their lives. I trustify.

Just top 50 Mountain Goats songs—I'm a fervent fan, not a maniac.

"Prana Ferox" is top 50 material, and I will go to the mats for Sweden.

Yep. We're more connected than ever, which means it's now just easier to find like-minded folks around and disseminate information/go folie a deux.
