Ode to AKAFrankCastle
Well, this guy said Hey! I'm going back and forth to Kansas City and I'd be more than happy to transport items bla bla bla...
So I started trolling the KC area for must have Bronco items for transport.
Needless to say I didn't find anything that needed a case by case review! I did find these. I remembered seeing these quite a few months back and thinking they were cool but when I saw them again I figured I just had to have them. (I had them shipped;)
1's Cut & 1's UnCut. Big Fat etched Beer mugs! The power of suggestion, Ha!

Did the come out of KC? If so, sweet score. You should have had the guy throw in a case of Boulevard to go with them. That's what KC people like. None of that crappy St Louis Budweiser.

Have a Guiness in Ireland and you'll never drink it domestically again.
If its a stout you're after, find a place that carries O'Dells and pick up some Old Yeti Imperial. Beats the pants off of a lot of the stouts out there. And is Colorado brewed.

It's delicious. And at 10.5% ABV (Hence the name) it doesn't take many to get the job done!

Re: Ode to AKAFrankCastle
A beer thread! Right up my alley!
Guinness in Ireland is certainly something special. If the bar has a nitrogen tap, I would imagine you can get pretty close, but never out of a can or bottle. There are two that I like a lot better. Ohara's and Murphy's Irish stouts.
Anyone on untappd?

I'm a huge fan of dry dock's double vanilla Porter. Not the regular single (although that's good too). Somewhat sweet with a huge whiskey finish.

I actually preferred Murphy's over Guinness, from the can.
Bridgeport Brewing's Black Strap Stout.
JD, get over the England, head over to Hereford and hit up The Barrels. It's an old school traditional ale house.

I'm not sure we'll make it back to England. Too many other places on our bucket list before our July PCS!! But if we do....

Re: Ode to AKAFrankCastle
While we're on the subject of Stouts, make sure to check out Stout Month at one of the Mountain sun pubs all of February. There are a couple in Boulder, one in Longmont and one in Denver. They have almost nothing but stouts on tap for the entire month. Lots of their own and rotating guest taps. Always a good time!
