Challenge on this thread now that we're ~200 pints, err, posts short of a full barrel, err, 10,000 posts:

Taste a lot, post a lot and look for that best/favorite/most highly-rated beer you can find and post your thoughts/impressions here for #10,000 (or 9,999 or 10,001 even ).

I was hoping maybe one of the Abyss bottles you got me could be #10,000. We will hit that mark well before those beers are matured unfortunately.

I had one shortly after receiving my shipment, knowing full well it's clearly stated on the bottle: best/enjoy after 12/4/16 or something like that. It was very good but I'm looking forward to that 1 year old tasting. Then the 2 year old tasting, maybe as a vertical or comparison with Silent Night.

I still have a Silent night from last year. Hopefully I can find one this year for a vertical

I'm considering a trip to Kinston around its release time in late November. CameronBornAndBred has an art exhibit in a small gallery there, IIRC, and I might be able to arrange for a personal tour with him and a pint of ale at Mother Earth Brewing afterward. MEB doesn't serve food but they encourage folks to bring their own and Kings BBQ is only a couple miles away.

I'll keep you in mind.

Boiler Room Oyster Bar is right across the street, and is well worth a visit as well.

Oysters. That is something I just can't get down with. I know they have certain benefits but the texture is hard to get past.

Will do and thank you. Heading to Emerald Isle Sunday, need some new stuff to try.

We've never been there or to the Farmer and the Chef, both of which have excellent reputations. Thanks for the reminder.

Not a fan of raw but Mrs. dd really enjoys a plate of the fried variety, with or without the alleged benefits.

I like them fried also and accompanied by a pint of pale ale, DFH Shelter Pale Ale, please. The 60 Minute IPA would be nice, too.

Is there any way devildeac could donate enough of his own post numbers so that we could even exceed the longest thread ever numbers? I mean, like, he would even have enough posts left over to still remain easily in the top 5 all time.

Well, if we could move all my beer comments from MBB and FB recruiting, in-game, BBQ and other assorted threads into this one, we might be close . It's ~4 PM EDT, don't you have a sampler to try at one (or more) of the fine breweries in Asheville so you can review them here tonight?

We hit up both places last May and (frankly) liked Boiler Room better than Chef & The Farmer. And there is a lot more on the Boiler Room menu than just oysters.

Had a Beerwine at ABC yesterday. Still as good as it was last week and the week before.😊

Bought a 6 pack of Boojum Graveyard Fields yesterday because it is very good. It is described as a blueberry coffer porter. Just right for me as it doesn't have coffee undertones. Nice rich flavor, too.

Sorry the last post took so long, as DBR wouldn't let me post within one minute of my previous post.

As y'all can see from my recent posts, I'm trying to help with the post count. Think I'll have a beer. All this posting has made me thirsty for one.
