Ya mine has bombers, but more cases. Its usually the special beers from sd breweries (like stones anniversary ales or enjoy by, or alesmiths special brews) and if you get lucky you might find a bomber from somewhere outside san diego

That Chocolate Rain was off the charts. Was 19.5% and it'd been aged for like a year and a half in bottle. So damn smooth and so good. Seriously amazing. I had a couple 9/10/11's that drank way more boozy than it did. Blew my mind.

Decadence (2011) by AleSmith was another stand out if I remember right.

Mash & Grind by The Bruery goes down in my top 5 beers for sure. That was one of my bottles and it was down right amazing. I had it as a top 2 beer and the best of the day until that Chocolate Rain got popped. That's in a fight with Utopias as the best I've ever had. I sat on it for quit a while. Sipping on it. Only reason I knocked back the end of it was because I had to pee and I didn't trust my brother with it.

I need to get some cash together, I'm always on a budget and end up getting ninkasi brews because they're on sale at my Safeway.

My local spots regularly have 2-6 beers on tap over 9%.

Right now I know for sure one of them has 4 of them over 10%.


Most of the beers we had yesterday were over 9%. It's different though... it's still very much in the minority of people that drink those kinds of beers... or at least 1 of them.

Brewdog makes "beers" that are over 50%. In my opinion those are not beers. They're not brewed like traditional beers and quite frankly... they taste like crap. They're generally not meant to really drink like a beer either. You drink 1 or 2 ounces at a time and sip them. They're more like ports and whiskey than anything. They freeze ferment their crap.

Utopias is the highest percentage traditionally brewed beer available at 29%. (I think?)

I know dogfish and the bruery both have a pretty good number of 14-22% beers that are outstanding.

There's a few oversees beers doing high percentage porters and things like that.

Don't mind Porters

Just been looking on the Brewdog website. They have some strong stuff for sale, might have to put an order in
