I’ve sold that one at my store…I stoppped selling it because it doesn’t move, just sits there and collects dust. Another one I’ve been reluctant to bring in is [Pearl Necklace](http://thefullpint.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Flying-Dog-Pearl-Necklace-Oyster-Stout-570x280.jpeg). Even if it wasn’t made with real Oysters, the name might be a little much for my place. ---

I shared a bottle of [Sam Adams Utopias](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Adams_%28beer%29#Utopias) with a couple of guys. We sipped shots. It was 24% ABV and cost $150 or so. And it was delicious! ETA: also gotta give a shout out to [Rogue Voodoo Doughnut](http://rogue.com/beers/voodoo-bacon-maple.php), a maple-bacon beer. Tasted awful, but cool. ---

We took a tour of a brewery in Bruges and they had a room full of beer cans and bottles from around the world. I maneuvered my wife surreptitiously into position to take a photo with a can of “Slag” right by her head. She saw the funny side later especially when (as any Viz fan will be pleased to hear) there was a can of Ace lager (8 for £1.49) right by her ear. ---

> [@drbhoneydew](#): > > It is the only beer I’ve ever spat out in disgust. Did you ever try the beer that was for years listed in Guinness (now there’s irony) as the strongest in the world? Kulminator? 13.9% or some such? Looked, smelled and tasted just like vomit. A friend who would drink literal horse piss if it had a trace of ethanol in it took a swig and nearly threw up trying to spit it all out. (Sorry, Ralph124C, just saw your post or would have addressed you directly. Here you go. Have one on me.) ---

> [@pkbites](#): > > Is that a typo? $5.76 isn’t break the bank expensive. Gotta be a typo or misunderstanding. “Kulminator” is a famous Belgian bar that carries a huge assortment of Belgian beers. And the $5 thing? My local beer place has dozens of $15 bottles, and as I mentioned up thread, I’ve tried Utopias which was $150 a bottle. ---

Moose Drool is also the first one I thought of and I agree, it is a good beer. I name my own home brews. My favorite one was the one I named after my daughters goldfish died. " \*\*Truman’s Dead Fish Amber \*\*". At the time I was still bottling (since gone on to kegging) and so I would create labels and pass the bottles to friends. It was a cool label and a damn good amber but I got lots of comments on the name. I found an image of a dead fish on a beach, and using photoshop I modified it and colorized it–twas a cool label if I say so myself. ---

Pretty good stuff. > [@Hakuna\_Matata](#): > > Moose Drool is also the first one I thought of and I agree, it is a good beer. Moose Drool in the fridge now, and it’s become a go-to. Ordered it the first time because..well, g/f and I like brown ales and it’s called “Moose Drool”. Edit, and somewhat off-topic, everything else I’ve tried from Big Sky Brewing has been good as well.
