Ever had Second Fiddle? Spoken of highly here: https://www.thrillist.com/drink/nati...food-and-drink.
I'm pretty sure I had it once and I believe it was somewhere they had it on tap. I remember thinking I didn't want another one and preferred the regular Fiddlehead IPA. But I get very different impressions of some beers if drinking from a bottle/can or from a pint glass. The Second Fiddle was in a pint glass, the Heady is always from the can.

Best scotch ale Ive had this year, at the Kennett PA brewfest:At Saturday's dinner/ beer snob event our host pulled out this beautiful beer after the meal. Brewed 10 minutes from where I live:
It's an oak barrel aged scotch ale. I'm usually not a fan of scotch ales because they tend to be overly sweet but this one had a beautiful balance and superb wood finish. I need to go buy a couple of bottles so I can enjoy one now and age the other.
Single Malt Barrel-Aged
Scotch Ale
High Peaks
Our single malt is a high gravity scotch ale aged to sweet perfection in bourbon barrels. This is a rich, malty and sweet beer with an underlying scotch-like aroma to balance the malty notes. You’ll find a noticeable bourbon note in the aroma and finish.
Why would a company that puts out an excellent dark beer want to put out one that looks like piss. There are already enough beers out there that already look like piss, let alone taste like piss.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
I'm one of the 212.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing: he must have huge feet!

Great stuff!
If you can find their Backwoods Bastard grab it, it is delicious.
I live 45 minutes from Founders Brewery and really pretty much everything they make is good to great. There are very few of their beers that I have not cared for. In Southwest Michigan Bell's was always the king, but in the past 5 years or so Founders is ranked right up there with them. Bottom line.....I live in beer Nirvana.
I have had it, but it was a few years ago. Excellent brew for sure.
I got a gift box of three 750s from Boulevard Brewing. I usually consider them a pretty mediocre brew but last night I opened the Imperial Stout. Sweet mercy that was a great beer. Apparently the fussbudgets at Beer Advocate agree.

A good danish beer.
The reason the brewery is called Evil Twin is because he and his brother (who is a more famous brewer than him) dont get along.
