I like Japanese beers a lot, particularly Sapporo:
I like that can Sapporo comes in if you buy a 22oz (maybe its a 24?) - that can is so tough.
Haha I still need to check out the Chosen Beer. Glad to hear its not bad.

faves: corona, guinness, heineken, yuengling lager
most consumed: bud or bud light
best cheap shit: steel reserve
Oh yeah, and 40's and kegs are illegal to sell in alabama. The kegs were just recently outlawed to anyone but resturants/bars. No more field parties.
At least the TN border is like 30 minutes away. Just grab some moola and you can get 40's AND kegs with little effort. Sometimes I have to wonder why alabama is just so fucking stupid.

Actually, we're so retarded that wine makers in Kingfisher county can't sell their product at retail since its a dry county.
They have to drive 30 minutes to buy their own products legally.
A dry county?
How funny is that? Or, rather, ironic, considering that two of the towns are called:
* Hennessey
* Kingfisher
I actually drink Kingfisher, one of the better Indian beers along with Taj Mahal.

You've never heard of dry counties?
I believe whatever county the Jack Daniel's Distillery is in is still dry.

Been exploring BevMo's bounty a lot lately...trying some awesome beers.
Without getting too RateBeer essay-ish here goes.
Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout - so damn complex, motor oil color, bursting with coffee and dark fruit flavors. Win.
St. Sebastiaan - Belgian golden ale. Almost no carbonation in this one due to the ceramic bottle, but man the flavor more than makes up for it.
Dupont Foret - Belgian organic which is a new regular favorite. Another big yeasty headed ale with a very strong aroma. Perfectly balanced sweet and sour fruits, crisp and satisfying, almost perfect.
Mackeson XXX Stout - Dark dark brown, creamy milk chocolate taste. Unbelievable.
Hog Heaven Barleywine - Strong as shit at 9.2% but a clear winner, just not an everyday drinker for sure.
Could list a couple more Belgians, they are all unique, but there's just too many.

While nothing is worse then a dry county, i'm still irked by counties and cities that are dry on sundays. It's just so backwards.
Here in MO you need a special license to sell on Sundays, it not expensive or a big deal really, just sort of odd.
So does everyone have good liquor stores in their area?
I have to drive at least 30 minutes (suburbs of KC really) in order to even find a liquor store (though the grocery stores in my town have a decent selection...).

To buy anything decent (aka over 3.0) you have to go to a liquor store here.
You can buy piss water (3.0) in grocery and convience stores between the hours of 6am to 2am.
Liquor stores are closed on Sundays.

There used to be a Liquour Store in my town of 1,000 people...
But most of it's buisness was from about 12 people....
Once those people died off, it went out of buisness.

I don't know about many other places in the country, but if you're an alcoholic with money to burn, Phoenix is your city. The only drawback is that the only places open past 11pm-Midnight are bars and conveinence stores (which sell the bottom of the barrel shit).Lagduf said:
There's no special rules or county/city/state specific laws (at least in the Phoenix-Metro area) that prohibits the sale of certain or all liquors. You can easily obtain Guiness and Kiltlifter (an EXCELLENT locally brewed beer, 7% alc content) at grocery stores, not to mention every major liquor under the sun.

My favorite beer?
Hobgoblin Extra Strong Ale, from Wychwood Breweries.
http://www.wychwood.co.uk/index.html
I had the chance to try the draught version in Bath, England, some 6 years ago, and let me tell you...the taste is out of this world. Nothing to do with pilsner or even lesser ales. Simply superior.
Sadly it seems they have sort of downgraded it: nowadays it's only "strong" instead of "extra strong", and I'd swear it had more than 5.5% back in 2000. What I can say for sure is that, even though I am rather a heavy drinker, I used to get dizzy by the time I had downed my second pint, which is *very* unusual in my case.
If you can find it bottled, buy it. If you are lucky enough to enjoy a draught of Hobgoblin...I envy you!

I gave my father a "Beers From Around The World" pack for Christmas and there was a bottle of this beer in it. He drank it on a night I wasn't around to sample it, but he said that its always been a top beer for him. Your post has made me even more intrigued to try it.Lovecraft0110 said:
