A guy was nice enough to send me a Pliny the Elder from California. This is a world class rate imperial ipa. It’s a unicorn beer for most of the country. I have to say idk what I was expecting but I’ve had a lot of this style of beer I enjoyed more. It’s good don’t get me wrong I just don’t know what made it rate 100 on beer advocate.

Pliny was a great beer when craft beer was a young thing. The beer scene has improved greatly since that time. I like Pliny, but don’t pine for it. Too many good beers to hunt for beers these days.

I got burned out on pumpkin ale several years ago but I still buy some every Fall. I have to admit, Kentucky Pumpkin Barrel Ale is delicious. 10% alc/vol.
 
Hit up 5 different breweries here in Bamberg. Two noted for smoked beers -- Aecht Schlenkerla and Spezial. Although Schlenkerla is more familiar to US beer drinkers, I personally thought Spezial brews a better product.

At any rate, Bamberg is truly a beer drinkers' city. Numerous cool and historical stuff.

Founders Double Oaked Imperial Stout. This is a fantastic beer. Lots of chocolate and coffee as you'd expect from an imperial stout. They finish this in fresh oak barrels so it makes for a slightly dry finish. This 12% sipper is my favorite Founders stout. Going to hold one back for a while and see how it ages.
 
Newer brewery in northern Ky -Fabled brewing Co — truly outstanding with 24-26 of their own beers plus 4-6 high end meads on tap. Best brewery in the tri state imo
