    Just had my first sip. Get Dayum!
    Smells fantastic and goes down real fuckin' smooth for a beer with this much punch.

    Founders is British, no?

    Edit- which Founders?

    Founders is brewed in Michigan.
    I've had the IPA in a pub around where I live, but this is the Centennial IPA, which was bottled on 6/5, a big reason why I wanted it. You'd love this. Over 7 percent and very, very smooth.

    You might had been thinking Fuller's, which is British.

    Yes, i was thinking of Fullers which i cannot stand. I hate all British beers and for the most part i hate all non-domestic beers.

    We just got ruination on tap at work, and I was kind of disappointed. It's the type and style I normally enjoy, but it just wasn't doing it for me. I stuck with the Lil Sumpin Sumphin and Two Hearted last night

    Just got a 6'er of this early in the week. About 9.9% ABV and over 70 IBUs. First sip didn't taste so great, but then it was very tasty and smooth.

    If they had Ruination where I work, I would never leave work.

    Technically if i worked in any quality beer serving establishment, I would never leave work.

    Haven't seen that one yet. I'm not a big fan of that brewery other than the Gnarlywine.

    Yeah, it makes it very difficult to leave considering the discount I get and the hours I work take away any night drinking I would normally have.

    Off the top of my head these are the beers we have on tap now:

    Stone Ruination
    Stone Arrogant Bastard
    Lefthand Milk Stout
    Dogfish 60
    Dogfish Aprihop (might have just kicked last night)
    Dogfish Sah Tea
    Anchor Steam
    Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin
    Dale's Pale Ale
    Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
    Nectar Ale’s Humboldt Brown
    Bell’s Oberon
    Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale
    Stoudt’s Karnival Kolsch
    Crispin Original Natural Hard Cider
    Flying Dog “Double Dog” Double Pale Ale

    An for the cheap people:

    Lionshead Pilsner
    Miller Lite
    Yuengling Lager


    And what bothers me the most is that we sell more PBR 16oz cans than anything else.

    I never tried this brand prior, but I heard it was good. It was a tasty refreshing ale -- great for Summertime.

    So, the only Sierra beers I can tolerate are Celebrations and Big Foots but tonight I am drinking ICE COLD Torpedo IPAs and they're rather tasty at ICE COLD temperatures.

    I mean really fucking cold.

    I had a couple pints of Captain Lawrence Kolsch a couple of days ago, and it might have been the best Summer-type beer I've ever had. I'm not the biggest fan of summer/Kolsch types, but I've really been digging them this Summer.
    Try the Captain Lawrence, if you get a chance. I will use the word fantastic to describe the taste. Try one while it's still hot out and the beer is relatively fresh.

    now that you mention it, it does look like there's a beer in there. Good eye, guinness.
