@MrOneLung - sounds like one for a hot summers day, not the depths of winter. I’ll have to see if I can find one, although the chances are slim. Stone is one of the beers you used to find a lot around Boston, but over the years they’ve been driven out by the sheer volume of local breweries. It been years since I saw Arrogant Bastard, and I used to drink that all the time.
Oh he still goes. Sits in the East/Alan C stand I believe.
Mentioned in this thread years ago I'm sure, but I only buy beer brewed in the country of origin. That makes me a bit of a beer snob but on this thread that's all relative!
The question is, should I change what I buy for environmental reasons?
Well, they made it to Christmas, so first up today is Lawsons Fayston Imperial Stout aged in rum barrels. Should have saved this one for the Krimble pud. Very rich and boozy, but only 10.5%. It might take a while to get through this.
In stark contrast to @SomervilleAddick offering, whilst you can see through this like water it does have an oomph. A shame the bars generally do not flog it.
I was hopeful with this one - Goose Island Bourbon Country Coffee Stout. It has a good reputation, but I was skeptical, as their reputation predates their acquisition by Anheuser Busch. Sadly my skepticism was right. It’s not a bad beer, it’s just not that special. Really couldn’t taste much coffee, it was just a generic, boozy stout.
This is best described as the Belgian stuff Frulji but without the fizz. Absolutely fantastic gear. A Rio brew served here on the very edge of a dodgy gaff in Guarulhos, Sao Paulo. I only had a pint.
Run Wild IPA by the Athletic brewing Co. A REALLY good v. low alcohol beer, just 0.5%. Currently £4 (normally £6) for 4 x 355ml cans in Tesco, alongside the slightly lighter Upside Dawn beer, also excellent. I'd struggle to notice its not alcoholic as its decent hoppy bitterness gives it loads of flavour.
I think it might partly be due to duty as well as the cost of making/batch size but it seems that for each percentage of alcohol, craft beers cost £1. Rarely see these super strength imperial stouts for less than a tenner, and are around 11-12%. Sometime fun to get one to share, might as well get a bottle of wine.
I’ve just seen the Kentish Belle in Bexley is selling a can of beer called Verdant Putty for £10 😳
WTAF?
It is delicious but as @Charlton_Charlie says it’s definitely so popular because of the hype and “rarity”. If it was a year round release it would quickly lose interest.

The country is absolutely flooded with Heineken.
Glad I only bought one of these, a whopping 6.9%.
Not too keen so glad there is no more.
Things are looking up. This little number is lovely and you'd never know it's 6.5%!
However, you do not get p***** in Brazil. Not wise unless you 'crack on' when indoors.
Anyhow you're clearly ashamed of it, hiding it behind a wall of beer. It's a no from me.

Back home, and a decent drop of this in Bromley.
Nice glass as well.
Revolting. Threw half down the sink.
The Marble Brewery barley wine was particularly good.

Limited edition 'hype' beer....definitely not worth it...I always get an aroma of 'sweaty onions' from Verdant beers...
