^^^^ I think it has more to do with how fresh the barrels are (most pubs get new ones every day), how clean the lines are, how they're setup to mix in the nitrogen, and the quality of the pour than it has to do with traveling. There is just a creaminess to Guinness in Ireland that you can't replicate.
Mmmmm.... Creamy.
Sixpoint Diesel, Sam Smith's Imperial, Old Rasputin
Drinking my second Lost Coast Eight Ball right now. Pretty solid.
Anderson Valley oatmeal stout in cans = delicious lunch while ski touring.
Trout river's imperial stout is awesome. Only had it at the brewery though.

I contemplated that stone stout not 30 minutes ago but decided on a case of SN celebration, which was only a few bucks more. is the latte by SN? the SN coffee stout is pretty tasty.
I kinda remember drinking some good stouts. Unfortunately, 95% of the micros in CA are super hopped up IPAs, tough to find a good selection of other types of beer.

The Deschutes Abyss has to be one of the top ten beers in the world. It was just bottled in Bend last week. It will blow your mind.

That was one of the more complex beers I've had in a long time.Quote:

I don't really know as much about stouts as I do IPA's but I had a Founders Nitro Oatmeal stout a couple weeks ago that was exceptional.
Just returning from Farmington, N.M. I don't recommend Farmington, but if you're stuck there, you could do worse than 3 Rivers coconut stout...YUM!
Old Rasputin is good stuff. My father always has it in his fridge.
Just got some Bell's Expedition Stout. Holy fuck, is it good. Can't wait to have another bottle when I get home. I don't think anyone makes better beer than Bell's.
Stoneface is releasing their RIS stout today. It is really tasty. 9something ABV.

Stoneface Brewing Co. We used ground Tahitian vanilla. It has a cool chocolate / stone fruit / tobacco character

FKNA GA, awesome...you deserve many more of those!
Just finishing a bomber of Northshire Brewing's chocolate stout. The only stout at the local grocery! Down in Zippy the only stout I could find was Brown's out of Hoosick,NY. I love IPA but how about some variety on the shelves!
I need to take a drive over to Ludlow (not something I do too often in winter).
Hell yeah!Quote:

Got me a couple Rogue Shakespeares when I picking up the t-day vino this morning. I love me the Shakespeare.
Well that pretty much wraps up this thread, all else pales by comparison.Quote:

Simply amazing.
I love that left handed milk stout on tap
I prefer something a little more Nutty and chocolatey, but that shit is smooth.

Had a growler of this last week and it is really good. The new growler station had been nailing it, local VT beers and ciders and special releases like this from the west coast.Quote:
