Good luck, I haven't seen one in a couple of years, but your distributor may be able to stock them

I just enjoyed an Imperial Stout from Founders this afternoon. Not near cool enough for it, but it was still really good.

Mostly a Bud Light guy but Navy Son has me trying a few different brands. He's stationed in Whidbey Island, Wa. Not far from Seattle so he tries all the micro breweries. When he comes home he buys different brews and gets me to try them. So far I like shock top while wifey really likes the Well's Banana brew. Yea it's an IPA but it's a start.

Not fond of the re​al heavy stuff.

My drink of choice is good old Crown and Coke but I like it way too much. I limit myself to 1 handle between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Well's Banana Bread is definitely yum! As is Crown and Coke.

The Bourbon County Stout is pretty overrated. They do a great job of hyping it up tho. Their barleywine is awesome as well as the coffee stout. Here are some of my favorite stouts

St. Peter's Cream Stout - Great English Stout that is a benchmark beer for me.
Bell's - Kalamazoo is a solid stout, but unremarkable compared with some of their others. Cherry, Double Cream, Java, Expedition (imperial), Black Note (which I haven't had, but it's on everyone's wish list)
Cigar City - Marshall Zukhov's which is a legend. Haven't tried Hunahpu, but it's supposed to be one of the best beers out there.
Left Hand - Milk Stout is a solid stout
Wells and Youngs - Double Chocolate Stout, Courage Russian Imperial Stout
Founders - Breakfast Stout & their Imperial stout
Terrapin - Wake n Bake for sure and the MooHoo Stout is a nice lighter stout
Dogfish Head - World wide after it's been aged a bit. Chicory Stout is a nice lighter stout, but I think it's draft only now.
Nogne Brewere - Dark Horizon is ridiculous
Brooklyn - Black Chocolate Stout
Le Coq - Extra Double Cream Stout
Mikkeller - Breakfast Geek, Black Hole, and another one with a black dude with an afro on the label
Great Divide - Yeti Series
Samuel Smith - Imperial Stout, chocolate stout is good for a dessert type drink
Avery - Mephistophele's

I'm sure I missed a few that I've liked, and plenty more I haven't tried yet.
Drinking a Left Hand Milk Stout right now. Wonderful. Maybe my favorite.

I haven't had the pleasure of many Belgians. Abt 12 is tremendous. Piraat, Trappist Rochefort, and Golden Draak are good. My favorite is Gregorius.
Golden Draak tonight. Pretty tasty. Thanks for the tip.

That 10% alcohol content sneaks up on you.

I can do the BL limearitas. But I have to be on the beach. And it must be 95 outside. And I have to add a shot of tequila to it.

Then it's pretty much an ice cold margarita.
