NOLA Brewery just released their seasonal winter stout which is one of the best stouts I've ever had.

Ladies and Gentlemen the Widmer double IPA may be the second best IPA I've ever had (next to Pliny) I even rate it better than Ruination.

The Widmer Double IPA is solid. I wouldn't put it up that high, but I do like it quite a bit.

The liquor store that is walking distance from my house, re-opened with new management and they know their beer. Much better selection from the boring stuff they had before, started off with a sixer of lagunitas ipa. Going back today to get some singles.

I love when beer stores sell singles. No one likes to buy a sixer and end up not enjoying it.

With that said I bought a sixer of Blue Moon "Winter Abby Ale" I was very disappointing.

Wouldn't that be BBBQ? (fond memories of the Simpsons)
BBBQ the extra B is for BYOBB what's that extra B for?
That's a typo.
It's only a little airborn its still good its still good

blue moon is okay as a draft, worthless in a bottle.

I got this one, too (Cali-Belgique IPA), but thought the Double IPA was better.

i've had the cali-belgique and thought it was actually awful. no good has ever come from mixing belgian style beer with american ipas. i'd actually extend that to: all "white" ipas are terrible.

I looked on the Stone website, and it says the Double IPA is retired? WTF? Then again, the little liquor store by my new apartment is the only place I've ever noticed it being sold at.

I thought it was okay, but you're right. I'm not a big fan of Belgian beers to begin with.

Are you from Cali? The distributor I go to in NY has a wide variety of Stone offerings, never seen that particular beer though. It's probably tremendous.
EDIT: Just read above.....that explains it

I'm honestly going to ask the liquor store owner how the **** he got it. And then I will try to horde a case of it.
