I just haven't acquired the taste for IPA.  I've had pliny in a bottle and on tap, I can't say I like it any more than I like a Dogfish Head 90.  

You might enjoy New England "style" IPA's because they tend to lack overbearing bitterness in favor of more sweet citrus and tropical fruit flavors. There's a few newer breweries out west that specialize in those kinds of beer. Monkish in Torrence is tearing shit up. Also Cellarmaker in SF.

Amber, and agreed. It's my favorite non-session beer

I've been steadily working through my case of Pliny. Found out the case was $60. Holy shit. So I've been tempering with Belgian Wit homebrew

I like a vast assortment of brews but, for whatever reason, I can't get myself to like wit beers. I've tried quite a few of them too.

It's brewed in the men's room at Chavez Ravine. Bottoms up!

Had Weihenstephaner's Vitus for the first time the other day, just brilliant. Also, figured I'd round out 2016 on a bright note with my last Pliny. 

I love beer.

Founders CBS (Canadian Breakfast Stout) just dropped nation-wide today. This is one of the most sought after beers in the country so I figured this was worth a bump. 

Drinking a bottle now. It's incredible. If you find one, definitely buy it. It's pricey but worth it.

One of my favorite beers, period. I couldn't track any down.

Try Golden Road's 329. Similar to 805, but far better IMO.

I'll check. Doubt they have any left. The Total Wine in Tustin went through theirs in less than 1 hour. Thanks!

yeah, I actually recently found out that the Tustin location you mention is one of their main hub stores.

[Stradling]

I’ve been to El cerrito, it’s quite the liquor store and it’s pretty close to me in Norco.  

[Stradling]

Any chance they have any left?  I’ve never heard of it but wouldn’t mind giving it a try.

I just picked up a 4 pack of Ballast Point's Victory at Sea Porter aged in High West Bourbon barrels. Talk about a lot of flavor. Great stuff

[Tank]

my wife and i bought some pumpkin-flavored beer from trader joes for a squash chili we made. we have five cans left and we will not be drinking them. anyone want them? am willing to meet you somewhere to hand them over.

[Tank]

i don't like the taste of beer. the pumpkin flavoring does nothing to change that.

[Brandon]

@Stradling maybe not now, but you can check. jazz used to not only get the special release stuff, but he also seemed to get more than anyone. call before rolling over....they may have some stuffed in the back. the collection and beers that dude gets is unreal. I think he even did his own collab with taps.

my little watering hole seemed to kind of phase out Belgians and this kind of became my regular order there for a while. good beer.

Ha. I don't think it's worth either of us to drive for 5 beers. Just toss them.

Or give someone you don't like at a Christmas party a 5 pack.

Kind of. Breakfast Stout is their coffee stout. It's very good. It's really easy to get.

Then there is Kentucky Breakfast Stout. It's the Breakfast Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels. It's quite tasty and more difficult to get.

CBS is Canadian Breakfast Stout. It's the Breakfast Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels with Maple syrup. Before this year it was very difficult to get a bottle. I've only had it on tap.

The taste of pumpkin isn't something that I am very fond of to begin with, and the idea of flavored beer doesn't really help.
