    I've been getting into BA stouts this winter (alongside my normal hazy IPA's) - this one is like drinking desert out of a whisky barrel - and it is MAGNIFICENT.

    Call me simple, but I enjoy a nice Corona Light.
    And if we go to a local brewery, whatever is Citrus works just fine for me.

    We're staying at Ojo Caliente for the weekend. Swung down to Santa Fe yesterday for beers and the Georgia O'Keeffe museum. While there, picked up a couple of 4-packs of local brews from Trader Joe's to bring back to our room, which is what I'm drinking now.

    Definitely had my eye on that one. I do love me a barley wine and if I didn't have to drive back to Ojo I would have hit that one for sure. Maybe next time.

    Simple!
    Seriously, like what you like. Keep an open mind though.
    I recall Abita testing its Satsuma Wit probably 10+ years ago… it was tasty. Haven’t tried it In probably 5+ years as it’s been tampered with ever since they were bought out. Same with the pecan and a bunch of others. However, they do still make some good beers. Second Line makes a great tangerine brew.

    Younger is like champagne. It was created as a thank you to their customers i.e. local pubs. You can look it's recipe up online. It's full of soo much good stuff they actually take a loss on it. After 2 10oz pours your happy, jovial and anything bad that's happening is forgotten. Elder is still good and still puts a smile on your face but the Younger is a cut above. Many breweries have stepped up and now make many beers that do compare.
