It's easier to find Sprint Runs than this beer..



Well worth the decade+ long wait!

:)

Ha, it is pretty good! It is easy to get here. There are so many beers like it now. All you can find in VT are easy drinking 8% DIPAs now. My liver can’t handle it!

It's next to impossible to get here in MA, but by some stroke of luck, they had some at the liquor store right down the street from my house last week. I saw their facebook post about it, called in my order, and went down immediately.. they limited sales to one 4-pack (2 Heady Topper, 2 Focal Banger) per person.. so I bought one 4pk and sent my roommate down to buy another haha.. Even with all of their crazy corona protocols (call-ahead, come to the door, no one inside the store), they sold out in under an hour.

Heady Topper has been on my "beer bucket list" for a while now, so I was happy to get some. They are both pretty great, but I think I might actually like the Focal Banger a little bit better! You aren't kidding though, they go down easy for the ABV.. I had four last Friday and fell asleep in my recliner by 9pm.. Only having two tonight hahah!

The Hazy Little Thing has pretty much kicked everything else out of the fridge; I just haven't found a better daily drinker at $8.99 per six pack.

I'm a big fan of the flagship Pale Ale.. I've heard nothing but good things about this one.. looking forward to trying it. :)

Homemade Chai here!

Had a couple of these yesterday after re-caulking the tub and cleaning the oven.

Which of those do you prefer? I've only had the bulleit out of those 3. Heard good things about whistle pig though. I'm guessing the middle one is michters. Picked up some Double Rye from high west. It's definitely different from any other rye I've had. Has a licorice flavor to it. Got lucky and grabbed an old bottle with some of the 16yr old.

Bulleit - makes a great manhattan, but is my least favorite of these three straight (though I do like it).

Michters - this was a revisit for me from years back and I like it more than I remember. A smooth all a rounder IMO with great taste.

Whistlepig 10 year - still my favorite. It's bold and fun to drink, and excellent in a manhattan. I think it's probably a love or hate thing for rye lovers because it is rather unique. I've still never afforded myself a bottle, but I've been lucky enough to get one a gift a few times now.

Rusell's Reserve Rye 6 year is also one of my favorites. Lacks character compared to the WP, but I find it very hard to fault.

That Double Rye is bold and fun, especially for the price. How's that 16 year?

I enjoy comparisons when the opportunity presents it's self. I had been using some self restraint and saving the last couple shots and opening a new bottle instead so I could do a side by side later. With the current quarantine it's paid off nicely as a source of entertainment for us. Two weeks ago was the Bourbon left overs... I enjoy all of these for various reasons:


By the way, most of what we drink is Black Velvet or Jim Beam :D

Speysides aren't typically my go-to Scotches, but this Aberlour does in a pinch. Also todays carry worked its way into the pic :D

Almost my exact thoughts, I love Bulleit and Rittenhouse in my Manhattans as long as one uses Antica vermouth. Bulleit came out with a 12 year rye that I’ve wanted to try. High West Rendezvous and Whistlepig 10 are still my go to’s. But when I want something a bit different Angels Envy and Jack Daniels Single Barrel do it for me.

Classic knife with a classic Whisky. Love every bit of this picture.

i like this with a salt rimmed glass and a few extra squirts of lime juice. Very refreshing on a hot afternoon!

[SpyderGrill]

I really like this one, think its my favorite IPA

[DSH007]

Definitely one of my favorite beers..

Wut? No personal pics! DOH!

I had 3 Laguanitas IPA, and 2 Laguanitas Hopstoopid. I really needed 5 to 7 Laguanitas IPA, or 3 Laguanitas IPA and some rum...but, it's drink WTF you have on hand unfortunately.

This beer absolutely rocks, I cannot say enough about it. I've even been to the brewery 2X. I need to make another trip but I'll bet COVID-19 screwed all of that up!!!!

North Coast Brewing Old Rasputin. Such a well-balanced classic. A dark, cool and rainy day here in the North Wet calls for a nice dark 9% ABV drink.

The Chef is supervising while the Crown Lifter gets all the action.

For a fairly high alcohol content beer, this one was super smooth and easy going. A few of these could easily sneak up on ya!
