We used to have a store that carried over 100 in single bottles and I tried many of them. I also had a neighbor that traveled a lot and he always brought me a six pack. Then I have tried a lot of diff. craft beers from Sandman's carry out. I love my beer! Don

I've had the Yeti. Don't care for it much though. My son in law keeps it on hand all the time.
I've had the Lazy Magnolia brand but not sure which one... same goes for the Terrapin.

Post by: hikerman on February 06, 2015, 06:33:04 PM: Neat link Art! I've had 4 of the beers listed. The 90 minute ipa by Dogheadfish brewery, Russian Imperial ale by 3 Floyd's brewery, Black Note Stout by Bell's brewery, and finally Mrs Hikerman's fave beer, the Belgian Red by New Glarus brewery (my favorite brewery anywhere)

Did anyone notice that most of the best are stouts or stout-like brews?

Post by: TwoPockets on February 06, 2015, 08:01:02 PM: I have had the Terrapin, never even heard of the one from Alabama. I have had beers by several of the brewers but not the beers mentioned.

Post by: djm3801 on February 06, 2015, 09:42:45 PM: Only had the Dogfishead and the Smutty Nose. I will say some of the best stuff I ever drank was the ones I made myself. But... I quit brewing. A lot of work and I drink enough as it is. I like the robust stuff but that usually goes along with high ABV, and gout is not fun. We have some really good local brewers in PA where I live much of the year. I try to drink the local stuff.

Post by: muebe on February 06, 2015, 11:34:09 PM: I have had about 6 of them if my count was right. I also had a bottle of the Utopias. That is made by Samuel Adams. It is a beer that is brewed like a hard liquor. It was really good and I savored every sip.

Post by: ronman451 on February 07, 2015, 12:19:31 AM: I've had two from the list. The La Cumbre Brewing Company's Elevated IPA from New Mexico is one of my favorite beers. Just had one on draught tonight with dinner (fish n chips) at our neighborhood pub...

Post by: Las Vegan Cajun on February 07, 2015, 03:26:39 AM: What a great list, I've had one from it so I got some catching up to do. ;)

Post by: TentHunteR on February 07, 2015, 11:40:39 AM: I live in the Akron area where "Thirsty Dog - Siberian Night" is brewed, and can't recall ever seeing it. I've seen and had Thirsty Dog beers, just not the Siberian Night flavor

I suspect you'd have to do a lot of traveling to try all of these beers.

Post by: muebe on February 07, 2015, 12:11:32 PM: Cliff traveling the web will get them for you. Also many places will actually carry a particular beer if you ask. Some liquor stores in my area will do that. We have liquor stores around here that carry all kinds of out of the ordinary brews. They even have signs that say if we don't have your favorite beer just ask.

Unfortunately that depends on which state you live in. I cannot order from a lot of places you might be able to. :'(
