Beer

[PenPho]

Made a quick beer run to Binny's. Father in law is flying in tomorrow so I wanted to have something interesting for us to sit around and drink while I nod, laugh and pretend to understand the version of English he speaks.

Picked up a sixer of Lagunitas' new Hairy Eyeball ale. At 8.8 ABV I'm sure this will kick my ass in. It's an American Strong Ale which essentially just means ales that are over 7%.

Also grabbed a large bottle of Stone's Old Guardian which is a barleywine which my brother (who has actually taken the first part of the exams to become a Cicerone) is quite fond of. I like to call him when I'm walking the aisles to find out what's good. He's a beer savant, no lie. Anyway, this one clocks in at 11.20% ABV which should be deadly.

Finally I found their last bottle of Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout which clocks in at a wobbly 18% ABV. Most people can't finish the 12 oz. bottle without splitting it as it will wreck the finest of men. I have heard tales of this drink mixed with their 120 Minute IPA called Heaven and Hell which just sounds too awesome to describe.

Lagunitas has another strong one called Brown Shugga...it's something like 9.8%.
Not bad...I liked one, didn't like 3.
I think it's seasonal b/c I haven't seen it in a few months.

120 Minute IPA? I was unaware of this, have had the 60 and 90....also had a chance to try Dogfish's Raison d'etre lately, a really, really interesting beer. Doesn't taste like anything I've ever had before.

In typical Dogfish fashion it's 8%+.

As for tonight, I'm about to embark on a Stout adventure, bought a mix 6-pack of six different types of Stouts to see if I can find a new favorite.

Details to follow.

Beer is wonderful.

The 120 Minute IPA is amazing. You have to find it when they make a new batch. It's been awhile since they've distributed it so it's not something you'll likely find until they put out more. It's what you think it is - 18% ABV and a 12 oz. bottle goes for around 10 bucks. I had my first at a place called Jerry's on Division and it knocked me silly. One bottle will have you spinning. It's to be consumed very slowly in a small glass. Really good with cheese. If it comes back out and  you can't find any, I'd easily ship one to you. It's that good.

So, I don't know if it was a new one or a remnant from last batch, but at Whole Foods this weekend they had one single 12 oz. bottle of 120 Minute IPA available.

For $9.49.

Needless to say, I passed on it. out after enjoying it.

No other acceptable answer.

In your experience, is $9.49 for a single 12 oz bottle a worthwhile investment?

Pen refuses to pay less than $10 for a bottle of beer.

He's high class.

For this beer, yes. Like I said I'll send you the damn beer if you're interested but can't part with the 10 dollars.

Go back and buy it, you damn fool.

Well, I'm a little concerned that it's from the old batch, why would they only have one single bottle of it?
I'magonna wait until they have a few more in, hopefully by them my local beer place will have it and I can get it for $8.99 instead.

Why would it matter if it's old? People buy these beers and age them for years.

[MAD]

I'm certain this will just make me appear like an unrefined douche, but y'all are damn fools for spending that kinda money on a 12 ounce beer.  

There.  I said it.

At 18%, it's more like 5 beers.

But, if you'd rather look at it another way, it's the equivalent of spending like $50 on a bottle of wine, which is certainly not cheap, but not something to get crazy over.

Well, I guess...I went with either the equivalent in beers from an ABV standpoint or the equivalent in wine by the # of servings standpoint.
But that was with the assumption that it was a normal beer, which is most certainly is not.

5 beers may be an exaggeration, but according to this, I'd still be over the legal limit after nearly two hours with a single 12 oz bottle of this stuff*, let alone the Foster's-sized can Huey says it should come in.
