Official RC Snobby Beer Purchases Thread

Since my brother is 21 now, I think I'm going to blow half of my paycheck this week on various kinds of awesome beer! Recommendations for a fiend who enjoys dark lagers and stouts?
 
My two favorite stouts:

Not sure if you can get them back east though, but if you can, DO IT!
 
I've got some McGregor's Scotch Ale and a bottle of Jameson 12 year (a graduation present from a girl I started dating). When I went to the liquor store to get the scotch ale, the bint working the counter went on this long rant about how dark beers are "icky." She then asked me if my shirt was for some kind of "goth band." (I was wearking Darkthrone "Transylvanian Hunger"). I said no, they're Satanic Country music and that she should never talk to me again. EVER.
 
Some local Micro-brewery Shitz:

Phillip's Chocolate Porter
Phillip's Black Toque IPA
Phillip's Amnesiac Double IPA
Phillip's Oatmeal Stout

Liquor store employees should be the same as music store employees: it needs to be mandatory that they know their shit. What a bunch of crap.

I had a Sierra Nevada Pale last night. As much as I like to support the smaller dudes, they really do have the lock on my favorite pale. Too bad most of their other beers suck ass.

The funny thing was, I think she was really trying to engage me in a conversation out of friendliness and/or flirtation but she was so dumb she totally fucked it up. :lol:
 
Pretty okay. Just a dark ale of sorts without too much going on, much better on tap but pretty good from the bottle.
 
Jimbo, congrats for graduating, and Jameson 12 year
OOOH LALA that girl who bought it for you is a gem,
don't let her go :)


I had a birthday dinner in 4Ps Irish Restaurant, last night, and that was the shittiest place I've ever been to...
first of all: the beer selection was LAME under Imported beers they had
Heiniken, Amstel Light, Molson, and Corona!!!!!!
blasphemy.
The second bad part.... was they had no Harp! in an Irish bar! They did however had Half and Half... so I asked the waitress: hey Do you have Harp?
"no miss" was the answer I got, so I asked: well, can I have the half of the half and half then?? I mean wtf.

shitty chain restaurants for trendy people %#$$%#@@#$@!!!!
