I'm not much into the "bitter" beer qualities like so many are today with the IPA craze. Sam Adams has just enough bitter bite that I can tolerate. It's a really good beer.
Man, Todd, you like a lot of the same stuff as I do, though you can keep the Belgian stuff....
I was at a bar called Mardi Gras in University Mall in Fairfax on Friday evening, and was surprised to find Young's Double Chocolate Stout on tap.
We were leaving and I complimented the bartender, saying it was delicious.
My friend tried to give me grief with "Get a load of this guy... 'it was delicious' ".
I replied "Yeah, you didn't have one. It was delicious."
Man I can't find it on google for some reason, but there is a really good (I think new?) IPA at Trader Joe's that is in a can and comes in a 4 pack.. Most good IPAs come in bottles and are a bit expensive. This 4 pack is very cheap, and the IPA is excellent, especially for the price.
Thank you so much for that image. Incredibly kind. Dude, it's dinner hour in the central time zone...
And pilsner can be fixed. Order a pitcher of it and a bottle of Guiness Stout. Then pour the stout right down the middle of the pitcher. The result is called a 'black and tan', and it works like a charm.
