Yeah, a bunch of this was pine, but not all.

Welcome to the land of cheesesteaks and most of our nations deadliest highways.
 
Bells Octoberfest....it is pretty hard to find though.

Not around here. Bells is sold in most local distributors. Of course, the Octoberfest is only available seasonally.
 
I like dark beers in general, and my goto beer of choice is Guinness Extra Stout.
A local microbrewery I enjoy is the Highland Brewing Company. They have a Black Mocha Stout that is quite good.

Just saw a quote on why folks are moving back to things like traditional American lagers.

"People are simply waking up that IPA/Pale Ale beers "flavored" with hops and more hops, actually taste like drinking ashtray water! Blend in a little stout and porter for Double Tray styles!" ;lol

Only brew I enjoy from Troegs is Mad Elf. That'll light you up, just fine.

Today was Chimay Cinq Cents. Yesterday, Rude Elf's Reserve and Delirium Tremens. Friday, Allagash Curieux and Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin.

So much beer, so little time for sleeping it off. ;lol

Shipyard Pumpkin Head, miller lite - I'm a cheap date
 
If Im thirsty...whatevers cold.
If I'm being picky Steamwhistle pilsner.
 
I can tell you one I absolutely hated, DogFish Head Higher Math, that is one of the only beers I have spit out, I was really hoping to like that beer, at $10 per 12oz bottle it for sure was expensive. I was really disappointed with that one. Maybe you will like it if you like sour beers, I don't like the vinegar taste of sour beers.

If you're into the coffee thing, I highly recommend Allagash James Bean.

For imperial stouts, Fegley's is at the top of my list. Insidious at 9%, or Delirious at 17%. I've only found the latter on tap once, and never in bottles.

Sam Addams makes the best chocolate stout iv tasted. Way better than the medicine taste of Sam smiths chocolate stout at$4 a 12 oz bottle. Almost swore off chocolate stouts altogether till i had the sam addams.

Wow. Lucky guests. Wish I could crash that party....
 
You'd be welcome to come! Never checked drive time from Ontario, tho...

I think all of us with the luxury to sit down in the evening and chat about woodstoves and craft beer, of all obscure things, must be pretty lucky.

Well said. Yeah, quite a few miles + expired passport + other commitments = rain check. But I appreciate the invite. Cheers.....
