I get mine straight from the brewery, unless it's a Belgian import or something. Depends on the beer, but anywhere from $12-$18 a 4 pack of insanely hopped 16 ounce cans. Most beers at that price are 8%-15%.

Man. I've got yet another brewery walking distance! Well it's brewed upstate but the tasting room is here. Svendale!
This is a seriously amazing sour. I've had it before years ago, and I forgot how ridiculously tasty it is.
"This is an aged Belgian red ale, which is ripened quietly in oak barrels for two years. It has an extremely pungent aroma of rich grapey fruit, with acidic notes, very much like a slightly sour red wine or possibly a gueuze. In the mouth it is slightly sweet, extremely acidic and fruity, with grapes and even cherries discernible, and very lively. Despite the sweetness it is not at all cloying, even thin, with little or no trace of malt. Finish is sharp and fruity."

Oh heck yes, duchesse de bourgogne is fantastic!Ashen said:
this brewery is fairly new, about a year and a half ago they opened the tap room. their offerings by the can so far have been only their year around brews. this one is new and it is fantastic.

As an Oak Series offering, Charter Oak’s ultra-limited release is a very well rounded and perfectly balanced, yet robust, Russian Imperial Stout. This winter release was brewed to an opaque, midnight black shade with an abundance of specialty malted and roasted barley and plenty of East Kent Golding and Northern Brewer hops. Lights Out Stout enjoys a complex taste profile of coffee, toffee and a mild chocolate backend and at 9.1% ABV it’s a real sipper on a chilly New England winter evening. Look for the bourbon barrel release soon.

Sounds tasty. I'm always down for some Stout action!
Dinner, last night, was off the freakin hook!
Local Mexican restaurant, and I got the "Piña Tropical"
Straight up hollowed out pineapple, stuffed with al pastor carñitas, chicken, steak, AND pineapple
My fat ass couldn't resist ordering 2 brisket barbacoa tacos too, haha
Also got the shrimp ceviche, but forgot to take a pic. Damn tasty though!
