Some new ones to me, the first I tried and was pleasantly surprised reminded me of a less citrusy Sucks: 

And this one I have yet to try, but was captured by the art work and the association with The Flaming Lips not to mention it is my favorite brewer so I do not expect to be disappointed:

What I find even stranger than $200 a bottle beer is that Indiana isn't one of the 15 states.

Trying out some new beer this week-end.

They have that at the specialty place I go to in Columbia SC and believe it or not they have other beers that cost much more than that (most are Japanese) some are over a 1000 dollars which is just plain nuts! I cannot possibly see how a beer could taste good enough to be worth that and would be curious how some of these beers would fare in a blind taste test. I suspect much of it is the scarcity and the fancy bottles, man they do have some fancy bottles on these specialty beers. Crazy.

this made me laugh...

This rare Sam Adams beer is $200 a bottle — and it's illegal in 15 states from CNBC.

Love this March release; the artist this year is Marq Spusta, pretty cool artwork:

Speaking of Russia...

For me, nothing says IPA like Ransack The Universe IPA.

Pale, cold, slightly alcoholic and bitter. It's all we know.

Our Krogers limited releases and out of the ordinary brews are set out in the middle of the aisle stacked almost hidden like they haven't been put up yet.  They usually have about 20 or so 12 packs or cases of certain brews and when its gone, its gone.  Here is the latest offering from Lagunitas that is usually not found in this area.  It is awesome and in cans!

Now I went to some new friends' house a few years ago and the mom told the dad that he should stock the fridge with some beer in case I don't like wine. When I got there, he offered me a beer and being a snob I said "sure, whatcha got?" and he says Sam Adams, Blue Moon etc. and said he had one Anchor Christmas Ale. Since it was just January, klaxons sounded and I grabbed a glass and that beer and retreated to a corner with my Precious.

 
It wasn't until I was halfway thru it that I looked at the label: 1978. The cap wasn't rusted but it had sat upright for decades somewhere in a box that had been moved to several households in the intervening years. It was pretty flat, and there were actual chunks of cementitious yeasty sediment sort of clicking as I tipped the bottle. It was still sort of okay but I admit to being put off by it and didn't finish it.

I'm not a smart man, Jennay but no chunks.
