jollymania 162 Report post Posted November 20, 2010 Is Pliny your #1? it is not, I haven't had younger, but I would put Bell's hopslam over Elder. I strongly recommended you to pick up a 6er of hopsam when it comes out in jan/feb. My favorite beer would be Aventinus Weizen Eisbock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted November 27, 2010 Founder's Breakfast Stout Excellent recommendation. Picked up a six-pack of SN Celebration and Real Ale Coffee Porter. The SN is great, I should have been buying this earlier. Looking at the label I just assumed it was a winter warmer, and I'm not a huge fan of those. Instead, it's an IPA that hits you with a great piney/citrusy aroma with your first sip. The Coffee Porter is one of the better ones I've had in a while. Real Ale did a good job featuring the coffee, but not letting it overpower the rest of the malts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FBS is actually not the easiest to find and only comes in 4 packs. It is 8.3% ABV (I think) and is pretty expensive for there just being 4. It is well worth it though. If you like full bodied, you will love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking from my painfully obvious bias, I'd say the best beer you'd find in your average corner liquor store is a Sam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
