I do.  But I also like malty beers.

Just finished off a bomber of Dreadnought. Started the weekend Friday with a couple Zombie Dust on draft.

Yesterday I had some Commodore Perry and some Lake Erie Monster, both from Great Lakes Brewing. Those guys like to brew to seven and nine percent for most of their beers apparently. The Monster can surprise you at 9.1. Still, both good.

They do a pretty wide range, but it seems like the higher ABV beers are the big sellers.  My favorite Great Lakes beers are actually their moderate to low ABV beers.  Eliot Ness is an excellent (possibly the best) Amber Lager and the Dortmunder is also great in its class.  Edmund Fitzgerald is a really tasty porter, as well.

What did you try at Three Floyds?  My brother was trying to get me to make a run up there last weekend but I had a birthday party to attend.

At TF I had a flight. Iirc it had Robert the Bruce, gumballhead, jinx proof, alpha king and zombie dust. If that's not correct it's pretty close. I also had Arctic Panzer Wolf which has a bitterness over 100 and a really nice barrel one called Dark Lord de Muerte.

Great scottish ale.  Not a fan of the style, but love this beer.

Quotegumballhead,

One of the best American Wheat beers out there.

Quotejinx proof

Really nice session-type ale.

Quotealpha king

Love it.   

Quoteand zombie dust.

Superb.  One of my favorite beers.

Arctic Panzer Wolf is one of my favorite Imperial IPAs-- I like it even better than Dreadnought these days.  And people would knife their mom for a chance to drink that variant of Dark Lord (or any Dark Lord for that matter).

Three Floyds is a great brewery, despite their death metal fixation.

Well here's some good news for you lads. When I was there the place was slammed and I had to wait an hour to get in. But, right next door, under construction, is a brand new Three Floyds facility at least five times as big.  :)

Yep, they were holding out on doing that forever, claiming that they wouldn't sacrifice quality for quantity.  But hopefully this means I can get Zombie Dust on a semi-regular basis.

I thought the same thing but there are some amazing IPA batches coming out of the micros.
