If I were going…I'd try these

But Does It Make Sense?
IPA - Imperial / Double New England
8.5%

Drink of Me Fondly
Bière de Champagne / Bière Brut
4.1%


and only one of these three

Maple Cassowary
Stout - Imperial Milk / Sweet
11.6%

Cassowary
Stout - Imperial Milk / Sweet
11.0%

Hoax

What is a Biere de Champagne?

I'd go with the But Does it Make Sense NEDIPA and the Tropic Like It's Hot sour ale.

sounds like a good fit for Julian's America


Bière de Champagne / Bière Brut
First brewed in Belgium, Bière de Champagne or Bière Brut typically undergo a lengthy maturation. Some are even cave-aged in the Champagne region of France and are then subjected to remuage and dégorgement, which is the "methode de champenoise" process of removing yeast from the bottle. Most are delicate, high in alcohol, and highly carbonated.The color of Bière de Champagne can range from very pale gold to a darker pale amber. Often presented in 750 mililiter champagne-style corked and caged bottles.

ABV: 6.0-12.0% | IBU: 10–35 | Glassware: Flute

At least we don't have to worry about walky procreating and bringing more negativity into this world.

I wonder what kind of beer Brett Kavanaugh likes. I bet he drinks Amstel Light.

Seems like a good possibility… or a sam adams lager if he's feeling wacky.

That one at Hardywood isn't exactly burning the house down with it's untapped score. And also, just say NO to imperial stouts on 90 degree days.

Didn't you attend any parties with him in your youth?

If it isn’t on the calendar, it didn’t happen.

eff that advice.  drink whatever you want. 

I get that a thick, syrupy 13% beer might not be the first thing folks reach for when it's 90*F, but still…

Heineken would have been the preppy beer back then….

Speaking of Heineken

Lagunitas Brewing Co., a Heineken-owned brewing company with headquarters in Petaluma, announced Tuesday that it would be laying off 12 percent of its workforce. The brewery cited a "retrenchment of the American craft beer market" as the reason for the layoffs, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported.

How about the Crew Club?

Why, would you ask that?  You like fucking kids?

I like kids in breweries, yes.

You asked for one place on earth where kids have to stay the fuck out. So that was my suggestion. I could have additionally named a number of different strip clubs, swingers clubs, etc.

I agree that there are places where kids shouldn't be allowed. Breweries aren't one of those places.

I bring both my dog and my child into bars/wine bars, but always respect the wishes of a proprietor who doesn't want them there.  I tend to frequent places that allow for them more often, so I vote with my wallet.

we haven't specified this yet, but yes - we're only talking about places that accept children.  if a venue has a "no children allowed", "must be over 21", etc. policy then obviously kids don't belong.  should someone show up to that sort of a place with kids in tow, then indignation is an understandable response.  was is this specific situation that got your drawers in a knot, walkies?

You have a child now? Congrats.

This is how i feel. Though my dog is too poorly behaved. We tried to bring him a couple of times but he's just too crazy. My kid has always been pretty well behaved in public.
