Ever try any good beer?
... jack and coke's ...
A more widely known of my favorite is Yuengling Porter.
I used to know a corner liquor store in West Haven CT that sold Yuengling Porter for a lower price than any of their other beers (other than Black Label, Hamms, and other bargain beers).
After a couple of months, someone must have figured it out, and the price went up to the level of the craft beers...a very sad day
Aww man, I just called the Savoy store and they don't carry 3 Floyds. I got all excited over nothing. :faint: It's still only available in the Chicago area and NW Indiana. Any of you Chicago guys going to the Purdue football game? Wanna bring me some beer?
I can imagine that it was a sad day indeed! Would have been heartbreaking. However, I found out how to solve all my beer worries. I can clone almost ANY beer made.
My favorite beer that I do not make is Arrogant Bastard Ale.
Would that be the Original, the Oaked, or the Bourbon Barrel Aged?

A couple nice ones that I don't think have been mentioned:
Nosferatu by Great Lakes is a really nice red ale
And I had a Great Divide Hibernation Ale for the first time last night. Not at all your typical spicy winter seasonal - it's a really straight forward old English Ale with light hops and a slightly bitter finish. One of the better beers I've had in a while.

Their Eliot Ness is pretty good too.
Yeah, I think Great Lakes is one of the better midwestern breweries. Not on the Three Floyds level (and I've been very impressed by what I've had from Founders), but I'd put it up there with Bell's.
I would recommend calling some places to see what they can do. The Bloomington Friar Tucks hasn't been able to get it in awhile.
If you tell your story and let people know how far you are traveling I would be amazed if someone wouldn't hold you some.
The JJ's in Fairfield is sorta on my way home from work. I love shopping there, and the beer selection is really something.
Also just found easily my favorite local Cincy brew: BlankSlate Ryesing Up Saison. Not available in bottles yet, but I've had it at the Comet and Lavomatic and it's really outstanding.
Shock Top pumpkin wheat....not to shabby...a little TO pumpkin...y? But worth a taste.

I was going to try a Shock Top once but saw that it was an A-B product just before it hit my lips and I've managed to keep it away ever since.
