Lion stout a great beer, but will give you a quick buzz due to the high abv. Another recent googie has to be Duchess de Bourgogne. It's a must try Duchess de Bourgogne
Do you stop drinking post-Christmas/New Years? Seems like I don't drink for a few months after the holiday season. Then, once the warm spring weather finally settles in, I'm outside grilling something (or using the smoker) with a fine brew in my hand.
On St. Patrick's Day in March of 2010 I has a single bottle of Coors. I think on this St. Patrick's Day I may do the same. I have had no other beer in the past year. I will have wine but other alcoholic beverages are not consumed by me to a significant degree.
