1988. Champaign, Illinois. Broke the Guinness world record for most Little Kings sold in a 24 period. Bars opened up drive through windows for the day. Coincided with "Hash Wednesday". Scary. Got beat out by some college town in Michigan the next year I think.
What are you drinking now?

Noted. In the meantime about to siphon another growler of hard tea out (fiancee not home till one am or so)
As the others have said, Congrats!
Surly Coffee Bender. What I love about this beer is the coffee is so in your face. There's no subtlety about it, just coffee explosion throughout the profile of the beer.

It is great. Have you ever had Santa Fe Java Stout? It's like coffee in a can. So very good. I you haven't had it before, you should definitely pick some up at Specs when you're in town in a couple months.
I have a Highland Gaelic Ale in the fridge but damn, it is already a malty beer and after drinking those hoppy beers I might as well as drink some Aunt Jamima syrup LOLOL[/QUOTE]
My go to beer. Can't go wrong with the Gaelic. Put some malt in your diet. It's not that sweet. Well balanced.

I have had it. I acquired it through a trade, but I certainly plan to get some more when I am in town. I almost picked some up last time I was in town but didn't, which is why I had to trade for it.

I've thought about trying to clone that, but I'm afraid it would become an all consuming obsession that would drive me insane(r).
2nd to last Brett Trois hoppy wheat failure.
Why do beers with brett have smaller bubbles?

My English Dry Cider. Uncarbed but delicious. I love the wlp strain
The wedding's on a Saturday and I am coming that Friday and staying for a week. I'll have plenty of time during the week to get together for a few rounds. Maybe we could get DisturbedChemist to join us as well.
One more for the road. Got work in the morning, but I wanted squeeze in a 9.7% beer before I hit the sack. Great beer with notes of coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Superb imperial stout.

Not sure it's even do-able, but it wouldn't stop us from trying.
I'm out. 4AM will come sooner than I'd like it to.
Stupid job!

I would do the same. . .. only if it where angry orchard. ... facepalm
Lol I hear ya brotha! When I started working on converting my fiancee it was all Miller Lite and crap like Angry Orchard. She now hates sweet ciders and fruit beers. I consider it a win for her palate change
Between them all it shouldn't be too hard to pull off.
As per usual, my "one more for the road" wasn't actually my one more for the road. I just have to go out with a bang drinking a 12% beer after drinking all day. Well, better this than BMC, am I right?

Haha! Even my real last one for the road isn't my real last one for the road. It would seem I am not too good at this responsible drinking thing. This is damn good, though. It will be worth it, even if I do have to bring doughnuts in in the morning.

Public holiday in England today... Means I can deal with my hangover in peace.
However I have to do some work quickly because while it's a bank holiday here it's not in Scotland which is where I work most weeks... Need to get a couple of proposals finished off.
On the coffee.
