Default Re: beer hauls

Picked up a 6er of Founders Centenial IPA. I've never had it before and it's not too bad. I also picked up a local brew called Wachusett Larry's IPA. Made by Wachusett brewery which is known for their Blueberry beer (barf!). I hear this Imperial IPA is pretty good though.

I have many times. It is a very good stout but not nearly as big a stout as the name might suggest.

yes many times, it's actually the first stout i had outside of guiness a year or two ago and I haven't looked back. it's very easy to get a hold of up here in MA.

These are my next 3 to pick up (maybe next week): Goose Island Bourbon County 2009, Hoppin Frog BORIS, and The Lost Abbey Serpent Stout.

Great choices, when I was in Worcester last fall I was surprised by how much GIBCS 2009 I saw on the shelves. I bought one bottle to bring home and enjoyed it. The BORIS is great and the BORIS Barrel Aged is even better but its almost $16 a 22oz here so its a rare treat for me. Matt-n-GA shared his bottle of Serpent Stout with me and it was outstanding

Ya the prices in Boston aren't that great either. Boris is the cheapest of the 3 at $11

Its about the same here, though I can't get Goose Island. If you haven't tries any of the Southern Tier Blackwater Series (Mokah, Choklat, Creme Brulee, Oat, Java) they are readily available up there and, imho, fantastic stouts
