thanks guys. we head out in the morning. wish me luck flying with my baby for the first time. lol. he is really good most the time so im not too worried but you never know.

thanks for the suggestions. the funky buddah sounds interesting. hows their food? if they have good food i could probably talk the wife into going. (and hopefully drive home :) ) i wont be able to really drink much while we are out and about. this will be our first "family" vacation. taking...

awesome. we usually hit clematis street a couple times. will def be checking world of beers out! we are usually on vacation for halloween and we go there for that insane festival thing they do. they shut the whole road down and its just one big party. the best part is that most of the women...

anybody?

Im gonna be heading to West Palm Beach for vacation. Any Suggestions on places to check out? I usually go to Brewzi's down at city place. I like the outside bar there and get to watch the rich folks shopping at all the high end stores there. Are there any other good craft beer spots or...

Id also suggest fatheads in the south side. If you are in monroeville someone mentioned D's. Right down the hill from them is the Gateway grill. They have a great selection and their food is better than D's. Not sure which way you are going from the city to seven springs but you could take...

Very cool. I like it. Only thing I may have thought about doing was continuing the tile around the tap tower part. Think it would have made it blend together better. I guess you would have had to figure a way to still remove it to work on lines or faucets or anything but im sure you could...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Maybe i wont give up on them yet. The old gaurdian i had was a 2011 so maybe it does just need some age to come together. I will try to find some of the suggestions and give it another try. edit: I assumed that stone aged the barleywine before they released...

I do. I was just curios if the old gaurdian was similar to most since it was my first barleywine.

The Old Gaurdian i had was marked 12%. It is definitely a strong one. I have had a few imperials that i have liked. I guess personally i would rather have 2 or 3 good IPA's instead of drinking all that alcohol in one beer. Kinda defeats the purpose of beer in my mind. Should just drink...

Isnt it the extreme opposite of a "session" beer? I had never really used that term till i started reading this site. It was my understanding it meant a low ABV beer you could drink a bunch of. Like if you were having a long drinking session at a pig roast or some other all day event.

Id much rather drink ruination. I dont think it was a hop issue. I dont know...

I do not think Im ready for barleywine. lol. I picked up a bottle of Stone Old Gaurdian a few weeks ago. I have never had one before and after reading about them on the forums i wanted to try one. Is Old Gaurdian a pretty good representation of most barleywines? I can not see myself...

looks like it would work great. i dont know if i would put it into boiling wort tho. who knows what kind of plastic it is and what the heat might release into your beer. im sure it would be fine at lower temps tho.

I would drink there. :) I do not know how it is in Arizona but around here there are a few guys that deal with machines and games and stuff for the local bars. They will supply you with the stuff. Anything from pool tables to mega touch games. You dont actually own the stuff but you get a...
