I know beer has been brought up before in chat so here is a recommendation.

Milk Stout by Lancaster Brewing Company. I'm typically a Guinness only guy but this beer is pretty good. Nice and smooth.

I haven't tried that Rick. I too am a stout man amongst other styles as well. :P

In the stout world I've been on this lately

My other current crack addiction is IPA's with this one at the top of my list:

I'm really dying to try some Dogfish Head brewery stuff:

but we don't get it out here. I have yet to find something that is TOO hoppy.

"Pale Ale" yer say? Well, it would be a loverly sip
for an elf. I am more of a Dorfish dark or amber ale
type. There have been some recent good words
said about this one lately... http://tinyurl.com/48ehy2 ...
but I haven't made it to Brooklyn to try it yet.

An excellent local Quaff, for those who like a visit to the
dark side, is brewed just North of San Diego by the Stone Brewing
Company. http://tinyurl.com/2vkqwy
Arrogant Bastard Ale.... I love the beer, love the
attitude ("You're not worthy; try something else" right there on
every bottle.), got the T-Shirt, looking for the soundtrack album.
Almost an equal to Guinness on tap on its own turf.

Thanks for the Website...it is a great reference.

Hmm, that Dogfish beer is probably the only one I could locate in my area. I'll have to keep an eye out.

Good stuff. I'm a fan of local brewers, just like the idea of it. Love to visit and taste test when I get the chance. Actually only one I have done that was in Vancouver on Granville Island, think it was Granville Island Brewers. Good stuff.

Went to a local brewpub yesterday for a late lunch, and had their special brew of the season, it was a Rye beer which was dark in color but slightly sweet and lighter than I would have expected based on the dark amber tint. It was really tasty and went well with my blackened salmon sandwich. I would link it but anything alcohol related is blocked at work, so maybe I will later, if I remember.

Both the beer and the sandwich sound good!

You need to work at a newspaper. Anything non-alcoholic is blocked here.

A bunch of us, including our IT guy, brew so he doesn't block any beer related sites.

Which by a strange coincidence is the exact same reason why we don't have porn blocked here...

Had a new beer the other day, Xingu Black Beer. Brazilian. Very good, smooth, good flavor.

My favorite stout is Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout, it's got such a great flavor, or, since it's imported from England, flavour.

I actually have a non-disgusting reply for this thread. A few years ago down in AU I came across a great beer - Victoria Bitters - VB as the locals say. It was delicious, even in massive quantities (it was AU after all...)

And be careful what you ask for, Kalena...
