Try the Imperial Stout. It's pricey, around $12.99 a bottle.
Not really better than Stone Imperial Stout which was only $4.99 a bottle last time I had it. Over 10% ABV.

"Uh, WHY is July 24th "Pie & beer Day" exactly?
Besides the obvious, of course....."
Sorry thats a UT thing. July 24 is a UT state holiday - Pioneer Day - to celebrate when the Mo's origionally landed in Utahpia. For those residents not wanting to celebrate LDS pioneers July 24 is Pie & Beer day. At least thats my take on the holiday.

I've got a 5 gallon batch of Scotish wee heavy fermenting away in my primary. It got a bit hot in my house leading to a vigorous high-temp ferment for a day; guess that means more time in the secondary to clean things up. Will post a full beer report with photos once it's bottled and ready for drinking.

The LDS Pioneers landed in Utah in 1847. I think it took another 10 years before they got the Indian costumes together. Regardless it seems like a strange State holiday to me, and a good excuse to celebrate the LDS pioneers with a cold beer.

Personally, I split my favorite between the East and West coasts.
On the east side, it's Long Trail Double Bag.
On the west side, it's Stone IPA.
Both very different styles, but both very, very tasty.

i masterfully rationed the 12er of pale ale i brought to cabo. had two a night after drinking pacifico and tekillya all day. i think there was one day where i had none. never really in want, able to have 3 the second to last day, then gracefully sipped the last one on the balcony at 10:00am before flying back.
i even (gasp) let my honey have one.
edit - oh yeah. my wife gave me sh#t for my 'flacid' handle salad. after spending 6 days attached at my hip she was quite impressed and my ability to imbibe and strongly suggested i change my handle to leavinglasvegas.
cheers,
llv

Sooze and Russ just got back from a Utah trip. They brought me some of "The Devestator" and "XVI". What a happy 4th of July!
This is a strong, amber lager (8% abv). It has a fluffy white head with a bready malt aroma and a rich body that leaves you with a warming feeling. This Double Bock style dates back over a century when Monastic brewers knew it as "liquid bread." Beware . . . it’s deceivingly smooth and delicious.
I love the label of the ram devastating Salt Lake City, Mormon Temple included!
I don't have anything against Mormons, but I like it better when they're not around!
This is a fine, malty bock. 8% ABV.
XVI Anniversary Barley-Wine.
Barley wines are brewed with the same traditional ingredients as beer: water, malted barley, hops and yeast. There are no grapes or fruit used in the brewing process. The name barley wine was given to this style because of its alcohol content being similar to that of most wines (somewhere between 8.5% and 14% ABV.) Unlike most beers, barley wines age remarkably well. If you have the will power, set one aside for a year or two.
First brewed in small batches once a year to commemorate our 5th Anniversary, this wonderfully delicious brew is now available year round. Uinta's award winning barley wine has a dark amber hue with a rich, malty character. Serious amounts of hops are used to balance its hardy alcohol content of 10.4% ABV.
What more can I say?

Blitzo,
Did you get the name of that Belgian beer truck that ran over me Thursday night? All I remember was looking into the cooler at the bottle caps. I saw Trappiste and a big 8 (I figgered the 8 meant Kick-Ass!) and figured that was gud 'nuff for me. Boy it was gud but it didn't take many of 'em!
ps
the labels came off in the cooler

I'm proud to see New Hampshire holding its own in khanom's bluish map.
Even though, being statistically minded, I also know why.
On this hot afternoon I just enjoyed a Red Hook ale, brewed a few miles down the road.
