alright guys its saturday night and I have nothing better to do so I wondered down to the local adult beverage store to pick me up a 6 pack of whatever it was that I decided suited my fancy. specifically i was looking for something that would be so good I could watch the browns get totally destroyed and not worry about it.
So generally I drink darker beers things like guinness (the gods drink), but also do some lagers and am partial to yuengling (still pisses me off more people dont know about this because its made in PA) also i believe their dark and tan is probably my favorite beer.
As for seasonal nothing stands out more to me than brookyln double chocolate stout (10%) hits you like a brick and has a very nice chocolaty flavor if thats what you are going for. But generally its only out for the winter.
BUT TODAY i came across something I had never seen or heard of before and the store was having a tasting of it. its DogFish head theobroma. it hits your lips and immediately there is a pop. here is the description of it on the dogfish website
it pours a very nice copper color and is slightly fizzy but not too much. its very smooth and it smells a little like the chilis they have in it. but at the same time its like a mix of sweet, spicy, chocolate and beer. I would highly recommend giving it a try.
for a 750ml it was like 12 bucks but is also 9%.
what do other people drink?

This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions. The discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1200 BC. As per the analysis, Dogfish Head’s Theobroma (translated into ‘food of the Gods’) is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs (from our friends at Askinosie Chocolate), honey, chilies, and annatto (fragrant tree seeds)
