Oh man, I'm enjoying the best brew I've had in a loooong time. One of my new favorites:

Founder's Breakfast Stout



The bottom of the label calls this a "double chocolate coffee oatmeal stout", and yeah...it smells just like a fresh cup of coffee. Motor oil dark, thick, and heavy body; drinks like a meal, for sure.
Absolutely delicious.

Newb, I'm not sure how dark you like your beers, but I highly, highly recommend this brew (and anyone else, too).

It's brewed here in the States, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I'm not sure what their distribution is like, but it looks like they're developing a "beer finder" tool on their website:

I hope you can find some around you.

Ah, that sounds like a great place. Unfortunately I don't really have any great brewpubs or ale houses or anything like that close to me. There is an excellent brewpub about an hour and a half away from me called the Heorot. Great Belgian and Midwestern US draft selection, with about 400 bottled brews as well.

What can I drink that will get me drunk fast but not too terribly sick?

nothing dont even drink! you cant hide your hurt through alcohol trust me it doesnt work. just talk to people and try to not drink.

Enjoying another Founder's brew, Dirty Bastard.



A wonderful Scotch ale; really quite good (although not as good as their Breakfast Stout).

I'm also aging one of these guys:

Had one of these tonight




recommended.....for a 6.5 abv it was very mild....a bit malty with a kind of cinnamon finish. Give it a try if you can find it , Fortunato, Flayed and Disease.

Budweiser is smoothest of course due it being a rice beer. However I'd rather drink a Miller Light or MGD. Most people don't like Miller untill they drink enough to grow a 'taste' for them. It's the hops, they grow on you. Sure there are other cheaper brands, but you really don't want to drink anyhting cheeper than Bud or Miller, your bowels will understand. However I don't see much reason to drink anything more expensive, unless you're only gonna drink one or two beers. I've been known to drink around 11 beers just sitting at home watching tv sometimes. Of course you can find the best beer you ever tasted at any micro brewery. Earlier this year I stopped at The Railroad Inn micro Brewery in northern Wisconsin. They had a Blueberry Ale that tasted just like blueberry pancakes, it was amazing. I'm a huge fan of the micro brew!

And whiskie, my recent fav has got to be The Knot, carmel after taste, good bite to it, 100 proof and around 24 bucks for a 750ml.
