I'd go to extremes to be on Fate's patio right now.
Wandering Tortoise has a BL stout on draft that sounds delish:
Prodigal Physics is a Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout built on the legendary vanilla base of Fundamental Observation 2020.
The berry compote-top note in this year's Madagascar vanilla bean harvest was the perfect springboard for this Neapolitan Ice Cream-inspired variant beer, so we added lactose to the brew for a silky, ice-creamy body and finished it all through a mountain of Ecuadorian cacao nibs and summer strawberries!

Figured you might be familiar. I haven't tried any beer places there, but that Colin's place is close to where I've stayed before.... and the one thing that stuck out on their menu was a maple bacon margarita.
I'll have to do some more research if I'm actually heading down this weekend, but
Ground Control has some good stuff, too... a few BLs and a heavier Smog City stout. It's just that it's across town from Wandering Tortoise, The Theodore, King's, and Fate's.
And speaking of rum barrels, they have O'Dell Jolly Russian... I had it a few years ago and it was one of the best not-BL beers I've ever tried. Completely forgot about it before. I had it a year or two ago at Ground Control and for whatever reason it wasn't nearly as good, whether it was just inconsistency or I'm ruined by BL.
I think that Prodigal Physics came out over the summer, IIRC, but I know sometimes they'll save for later.... a least the bottles have come down a *little* lately. I think they were in the ~$32-33 range when their tasting rooms weren't open, and they're at least down a few bucks now.
