FFS.

That should be:
Kiltlifter Red, Yebisu, and (at least?) Black Butte.

Just did a happy hour at work:
Lagunitas Red, Bear Republic Hot Rod Rye, Arrogant Bastard, Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Lagunitas Maximus.

. . . will have more Old Potrero tonight (as per usual).

If you guys like a good Porter, try Great Lakes Brewing Co. Edmund Fitzgerald. Excellent body and finish!

It was no Abyss, or Mikkeller, but it was pretty damn good.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

***Official: What cha drankin on***-3dnsm.jpg

Very much like regular woodford, but very very oaky, maybe a bit too much. At $50 a bottle, I'll take regular Woodford for my money.

I'd have to disagree. Woodford reserve isn't that great.
I worked at a liquor store in my years and we would get free bottles of it every week with our case deals; nobody would buy it...so we lowered the price to $19.99 for a 750ml and people still wouldn't buy it.

1. Way to cite a 9 month old post.
2. Neither are that great, nor are they that bad. Neither warrant the prices they (sometimes) fetch.
3. Hopefully by now, somebody has since posted a bourbon of better quality for a price comparable or lower than Maker's. Get back to us and see if this thread is actually working.
4. People in your town clearly like a little more corn in their mash.
4a. Said liquor store was in Florida, I presume?
