Highly recommend the new Hop Knife from Troegs if it's in your area. It's described as an autumn ale but it's a nice well rounded, a bit dank, IPA. Fucking deliciousness.

Went from mixed feelings to absolutely loving it on a single glass.
Dude, did you have the James Squire Hop Thief 6? The new one (7) is good, but 6 blew it away.
I've only had it on tap. Copycat IPA and Hop Hog are my usual go to readily available Aussie beers. Mountain Goat has some really nice one-off batches, their recent Coffee Porter was pretty good.
I'm not a heavy drinker. Maybe a single beer a night or 3 at the most, one night a week so I don't really mind spending a little extra on beer, every so often i'll get a couple bottles from here if I didn't have a financially draining week. Alcohol is just insanely priced for the considerably small selection here.
Man, I got some good beers right now. One of my all time favs, the New Holland Dragon's Milk (which I shall be aging half of a four pack), a Clown Shoes Fistful of Unidragon (Special bourbon barrell aged version of their "The good, the bad and the Unidragon", which is delicious!), and a Brewdog Tokyo (18.2% alcohol!!!).
Kinda want to save these for special occasions, but they all look so good!
God I love me a good Russian Imperial... This one is actually a pretty subtle pumpkin stout, its a lot more smokey than pumpkiny. High gravity but doesn't have that high alcohol beer taste.
the Shed is new-ish? I hadn't seen it before. Pretty good. More malty than hoppy I think but my palate is a mess at the moment so read accordingly.
@Shaun: Doooope. Looks tasty if you like pumpkin beers (I do not).
I am listening to my roommate and our upstairs neighbor talk about why vaccination is a bad idea while they eat dinner in our flat. It has put me in somewhat of a sour mood, but I'm powering through it politely by drinking more and staying quiet/venting on here.
