I have some Sam Adams Utopias beer.
How does it compare to like goose island barrel aged?

They still make that?!

I got some at a dinner Samuel Adams put on after we judged their long shot competition... it's like nothing else in the world.

I have to say, I wasn't all that impressed with that one.

I've never had Utopia but I did quite like their Triple Bock back in the 90's.

I agree. I like their ABT12 much better.

Abt 12 is definitely in my top 10.

I really like Parti-Pak Liquors at 96th and Gray Road. They let you make up your own 6-packs.

L-R, Hofbrau Dunkel, Three Floyds Zombie Dust, Krombacher Dark, Ayinger Celebrator, Warsteiner Premium Dunkel, Wartsteiner Dunkel.

That's a pricey 6-pack for sure. If you have'nt tried it yet check out Weihenstephaner's Hefeweissbier Dunkel, its one of my favorites

They also make bourbon that is finished in the old Dragon's Milk barrels. It's pretty good. A little too sweet for me, but still good.

Back in my youthful drinking days we used to get Miller Malt and Colt 45 Malt Liquor. I had forgotten about these until I saw in another thread a picture of a hi-point handgun with a Colt 45 wrap. That made me wonder whatever happened to malt liquors, as I don't recall seeing any for years. I suspect that type of product is still made, but not popular enough to take up shelf space in a lot of stores now that there are a bazillion craft beers out there.

Anyone like Ring of Dingle from Sun King? I haven't found any this year. Should have been out by now.

Have had a couple new-to-me beers over the last week.

Tonight's choice was Ballast Point Brewing : Sculpin IPA- 7%ABV, 70 IBU's Typical hoppy ale, citrus notes, firm grapefruit finish. Had it tonight with leftover-potroast burritos, and it worked quite well.

I like hoppy beers, and this one would be a good summer beer to enjoy while grilling.

I love a good sour/wild ale, but haven't had this one yet. Have you tried Goose Island's Lolita?

A couple days late to the post, but had a few of these on Monday celebrating Dyngus Day (virtually) with some of my Polish friends. Na Zdrowie!

Having some nice cold Pilsner Urquell beers on the balcony in the sun getting my Vitamin D. Beer being one of the major food groups is still plentiful at many stores around. LOL!

I guess it's good that I refilled about a month ago.


And I'm using it on some delicious Auburn Lager from Mad Anthony.

Lots of good suggestions here. Thanks for helping me break out of my routine!
