you just gotta look. just cause you havnt heard of them doesnt mean places dont sell it.

Check all your local booze stores.

Its a great list with some really good beers on it

I pride myself in the quality of beer I consume. I know I missed a few categories on the list for sure. Murphy's and Guinness are pretty much my staple, but I've been transitioning over to the Scottish Ales lately. Without a doubt though I rate the Rochefort 8 and Three Philosophers highest on my list. If you're feeling adventurous, try the Avery Mephistopheles. It's one hell of an Imperial Stout and packs a mean punch at 15%.

Funny thing was on vacation in orlando and lido key recently and didn't know they even had a zoo there what with all the theme parks and all. Place called Jeremiah's had the best Italian ice though something called a gelati which they layered vanilla icecream(made with a richer heavy cream base) and your choice of gelato. Ohhhhhhh so good. Craving one right now

Haha yeah I didn't know there was anything in Orlando but theme parks until I started hanging out with a girl that is from there. Her parents are co-owners of an arena football team there and they take us around. And yeah the brew at the zoo is tonight 7-9:30.

recently got back from the brew at the zoo and I have to say so many people showed up!!! Great for the event bad for the buzz.... took longer to get a beer all the good beers started running out and they broke out the old frat boy standby's bud, budlight and michelob ultra bastards.... It normally doesnt take me much to get a buzz and maintain it but I failed in my mission of trying at least 50 of the supposedly 200 different beers there. So I come here to vent Hopefully they realize that columbia has a lot of lushes and plan the event better next year!!!!

Yeah I didn't even make it. I made it off the lake around 7 and just said F it. I figured with the rain that was coming it would not be too many people. Glad I didn't go now
