I recently found an awesome beer bar that will sell retail....got some Hobgoblin (shout out to ISkew for introducing me to that wonderful brew!) and a case of St. Berrnardus Wit direct from Belgium! It wasn't cheap but worth every penny! ;D
I've been doing very, very well... I've been a pretty heavy drinker for the last 5 years or so, but the last 4 months, I've really cut back on my drinking. I still enjoy a good craft beer while watching a movie or chilling with friends, but it's not nearly as regular an activity for me.
Anyway, a week or so ago, I had an AMAZING beer from Southern Tier... my friend got a growler of some 9% pumpkin beer/ale. Oh my quacking god, it tasted like pumpkin bread and you could barely tell it was 9%. I went looking for it tonight, but couldn't find it, sadly... wish I could remember the name. It was one of the best Fall seasonal beers I've ever had, for certain.
Derp, wish I would read before posting! ODB knows what's up!
Now that I know the name of this beer, I'm going to make a more concentrated effort in finding it. I don't know about Southern Tier's distribution, but I would imagine you could find it somewhere in Nashville... I know, I've seen Southern Tier beers in Bowling Green, KY, though.
Ok I have done some digging on the interwebz and it seems that any beer with an alcohol content of 6.3% or higher must be sold in a liquor store. Learn something new everyday!
Therefore, I will be hitting the liquor stores with a beer store attached (yeah TN is weird, our liquor and beer must be sold in separate establishments) for find this Pumpking stuff. I will report back.

I've started hearing ads for a Guinness Lager. I love the stout (both the draft and the Extra Stout in bottles; not so much the draft in cans with the thingamabob). But this lager sounds gimmicky. Like it's for people who think the stout is too scary (despite its smoothness and relatively modest alcohol content), but want to drink something with the name Guinness on it. Maybe I'll like it. Although I think they've already come pretty close to perfection.

Part 2 of that is the same in New York, liquor and beer are sold separately. Ditto New Hampshire, except the state owns the liquor stores and you can find beer at like gas stations and mini marts and whatnot.
Though anything above 6.3 in the liquor side though being beer - strange.
Does every state have to have one or two crazy laws involving packies or what?
Oh definitely! For the record I am NOT a fan of pumpkin in ANY way especially beer!
But in Alabama for the last five years there was a "Free the Hops" campaign to allow beer that was more than 5% alcohol to be allowed in the state to be sold. It finally passed last year and the quality and quantity of beer has increased dramatically! We are now allowed up to 13% alcohol level in beer and like 13% in wine (previously like 7%). Anything else is considered liquor and must be bought from a store with a liquor license for retail or the state run stores which are cheaper. But beer and wine and the occasional Irish Creme/Kahlua can be found in grocery stores etc. And tho a LOT of places in AL still have Sunday Blue Laws against the sale of retail alcohol, most of the larger cities don't have a ban anymore. Which makes me wonder about ATL cause you CANNOT buy alcohol retail in ATL on Sundays...only at restaurants and bars!
Picked up some of Goose Island's Mild Winter. Its an American mild ale. Never had it before, and its delicious. Its subtle, no overpowering flavors, and the finish is nice and smooth.

Loving this thread! The weather's been great out lately and all I can think about it having one too many IPAs or Brown Ales on a restaurant porch with a gorgeous view.
^ Damn do I miss bein' able to sit on a patio/porch area and drinkin' beers in the middle of the day. 10 more weeks of school and then I can treat myself to this kinda action again!

Sierra Nevada ruthless rye right now... it's a damn shame it's only a seasonal. Similar to the torpedo as far as ipa's are concerned, just a tad less bitter, less abv and a subtle sour rye taste, as expected... which I enjoy. Could very well have a few of these with dinner or on it's own.

ruthless rye is amazing! i've purchased a couple of six-packs now... will be sad to see it go.
has anyone tried the saranac white IPA? also seasonal and a lot of places have it on sale right now - and it's surprisingly excellent.
