It looks like I may need to stop talking **** about Florida.
I have moral reservations about paying $10 for a 6 pack, but the Oberon and Left Hand Milk Stout are leaving here with me.

I love rye whisky. I have been going through the store's supply of inexpensive yet highly rated ryes over the last year or so. I found Dickel and Old Overholt to be very tasty for the price.
But yes, rye beers are the stuff of win.
Not sure about a common though, I still like them with more aley bite.

That looks fantastic.
I had this when the local brew house was making it:
Oaked Wee Heavy 2011 – 8.6% ABV
Aged in Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye white oak barrels, Oaked Wee Heavy intensifies the sweet toffee and dark dry fruit characters while balancing the sweet notes with drying spirit and oak.
I actually had a bottle of the same rye around the same time. It was super good.

Problem for me though is a bomber of 10% beer (or 13% wootstout) is hard to finish in one sitting. It is effectively four beers and that's too much on a school night.

Pretty crappy pour, more head than i expected.
Fantastic beer. On #2 now, probably finish this and end the night on something a bit lighter.

A friend of mine bought Double Dog a week ago. It was also very good, even though i can only drink one IPA at a time.
For a double IPA it was so good i needed to see what else they had to offer.

I'm drinking my way through the Disney Food n Wine festival today at Epcot, in addition to attempting to drink my way around the world yet again. There is a surprisingly solid representation of craft beer at this event. I'm going to be in trouble shortly.

Here's our wedding menu. Signature cocktail was a "shenandoah sunset" which contained pureed watermelon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and vodka. F the fish or the chicken!
Passed Appetizers:
Seared crab cakes with creole and lime remoulade as side sauces
Caprese skewers heirloom tomato, basil, mozzarella and balsamic reduction
Butternut squash bisque shooters with mini grilled rye tilla cheddar sandwiches
Mixed greens and baby spinach with dried cranberries,
Dinner Station (buffet style) with food signs:
golden beets, toasted pecans, goat cheese and citrus vinaigrette
Roasted lamb (med rare) with rosemary, garlic. lemon and artichokes
Wild mushroom ravioli with truffle salt
Roasted sweet potatoes, new potatoes, fennel and carrots, with caramelized garlic and onions
Medley of green beans, brussel sprouts and assorted squash with brown butter
Artisan breads with whipped butter
Sumptuous Wedding Cake
white cake with peach and creamy filling and a lightly coffee flavored frosting--i wanted it to mimic peach cobbler
(we may have gone overboard, but it was awesome)

Kona's Pipeline Porter (coffee porter) was a SUPER solid coffee porter and was my go-to "cheap" beer....until they stopped distributing it to the 48 :sad:
I see a number of you guys have good taste in darks...like the Dragon's Tooth and Big Bad Baptist....mmmmm. About to go hit up the taphouse for a Seaside Brewing Dynamite (imperial stout @ 11%)
