Reaper was raving about it earlier in this thread. It just hit my area yesterday - probably going to pick up a 6er today...

I had a sixer last week. Just came from Gomers on Broadway and they are out, expecting some more the week after next. It's still around in grocery stores and KS around here.

I got a sixer last night. I don't really know anything about the style, but I enjoyed it.

I haven't tried it yet. I raved about a test version from a year ago, but I have no idea yet how close that test version is to the production recipe.

I got drunk off this beer called Founders at Buffalo Wild Wings the other night. Good lord I felt like shit the next day.

Founders is an entire brewery. How you felt has lots to do with whatever specific beer of theirs you drank.

Likewise. I think it may displace Blvd's "Pale" as my 6-pack stand-by. Pretty delicious.

OTOH, I bought a Collaboration #3 at Gomers 2 days ago for $12.99.... and for $8.99 today at HyVee. That stuff is delicious as well.

Picked up some 80 Acre today and everybody has been correct, what a great beer. It is much better than Mother's Sandy. (my apologies)

I also picked up the Collaboration #3 but haven't tried it yet.

Also today I picked up a bottle of Sam Adams "New World" and Avery Brewing's "The Beast Gran Cru". (16% ABV).

This is local and very strong-their beers have great names....Doggie Style, Raging Bitch, Pearl Necklace, In-Heat

I always like the Ralph Steadman art as well. Never realized it was out of Virginia. Always thought it was a western brewery.

Wasn't feeling Collaboration #3.

80-Acre, on the other hand...out****ingstanding. New favorite Blvd. product.

Collaboration #3 is ****ing great.

The art is cool-I like that as well.

The brewery is in Frederick MD about 30 minutes north of DC

Am I invited over to drink the Avery with you? That's my favorite brewery in the U.S. right now.

The Avery Mephistopheles was fun at 16.8% ABV.
