What's your favorite Beer?

I'd also love some Christmas Bomb!..

[Broark]

Let me see what I can do, it's weird how some Prairie beers sit on the shelves (Oakie and I've still seen more Birthday Bomb) while others sell out almost instantly.

This is one hardcore barrel aged impy stout… Brilliant!..

@Broark:

Might be possible, I'll keep my eye out. A lot of places have limits on them, but a lot of places also just leave 'em out on the shelves.
Both Pirate and Prairie Noir along with 2016 Christmas Bomb have been hitting the shelves recently too.

Central Market is the perfect place for this.  I was at a liquor store in Vegas the day after Thanksgiving, and there was a one bottle per person limit on Bourbon County Breakfast Stout, and you had to request it at the register.  A few days later, I was grocery shopping and CM had three cases of it just sitting at the end of an aisle, no big deal.  I feel like I see that kind of thing there regularly.

[Broark]

Yup, CM is my go to place for stuff like that as well!
Also they're the ones that had Pirate Bomb growlers for 15 bucks. Can't beat it.

Drinking these tonight thanks to a buddy in CT. Going for growler fills tomorrow. BA Ten Fidy and Oak aged Jai Alai. Hope I don't get shut out.

@Chris & @Megatron1505 I'm hoping that will survive long enough for you to help me out….

[Megatron1505]

You know I'm staying for TWO nights right? I'll bring another couple of cases just to be sure 

[Chris]

Hmmm, I can stop off at a liquor store on the way down from London.  You know, just to be on the safe side….

This is Chris arriving at Gosport after a stop at aforementioned liquor store…

I bought another four at Deconinck… Fucking love that beer...

Was there also a competition for the most ridiculously named beer?

[jdl1279]

Went into a Family Fare (chain grocer) yesterday to find they had 4pks of Backwoods Bastard for $14. So I bought their last 3

@Giles:

If there was, my vote would go to anything from Clown Shoes.  Ridiculous names is kinda their thing.  At least they don't do stupid pun names. I hate that.

[Seul]

Clown Shoes - bloody awful names, hideous artwork, some good beers though…

Stupid pun names: give me some examples... Can't come up with any...

[Broark]

Now that I look back on it those were some pretty ridiculous names.
Clown Shoes usually takes the cake with the most ridiculous names and art, pretty good beer though.
The BA Ten Fidy was delicious as was the 2016 Pirate Noire.
Feeling it fully this morning though…

[jdl1279]

Quite the warmer here

@Seul:

Weiss Versa, Dark de Triomphe, Tart Of Darkness, Peter Cotton Ale (now with more hops!), Hoppy Endings, Smooth Hoperator, Pure Hoppiness, Hoptimus Prime, Hop, Drop, And Roll, Audrey Hopburn, basically anything with "hop" somewhere in it, For Those About To Bock, Pepperation H, Mash Of The Titans, Haulin' Oats, Mother In Lager, Yule Shoot Your Eye Out; should I go on, or is that enough to give you an idea?

I think this is an American thing.  It seems no other nationality treats beer like it needs a joke name to get people to buy it.

And just to be clear, I'll still drink something with a ridiculous name, as long as it's good.  Tart Of Darkness is one of my absolute favorite beers of all time…
