You're not supposed to be able to get Guinness Foreign Extra in North America or Europe. For some reason, I stumbled upon some in a liquor store here that tends to carry harder to find things. I just had a sip for the first time in my life.  :D

It is a very good beer. Why can't they sell it everywhere?

Just had some of this at a place called Helm's Alehouse in Tracy, CA. Oh fuck, this is the blackest beer ever, and it's an IPA. No light gets through, and the head is a deep mahogany color. Ten-point-something percent alcohol. Jesus, that was wonderful.

OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale

This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory --- maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it's made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better. Perhaps you're mouthing your words as you read this.

Too many strive towards complacency as a goal. We grow up thinking that the ability to become complacent is the equivalence of success in life. True Arrogant Bastards know that this could not be further from the truth. The real beauty, richness and depth in life can only be found if the journey through life itself is looked upon as a constant chance to learn, live and find life's passion. Passion threatens the complacent, and fills them with fear. Fear of the new, the deep and the different. We, on the other hand, seek it out. Endlessly, joyously...and aggressively. To this end we bring you the "OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale." Another reward for those seeking new sources of passion, and another point of dissension for those who are not.

That's on the back of the bottle.

The Oaked Arrogant Bastard was a good one. Getting some Rip Tide from Brewdog today. A great Scottish Imperial Stout.

I'm not sure it qualifies for this thread, but we don't have a "Languish Good Beer Thread" so...

Yuengling has signs & posters up all over the place announcing that it will be available November 1.  I've never seen such a big fuss made over a beer becoming available in a particular market.  It's good beer & takes me back to my college days, but this is over the top.

That said, I'll probably stop by Kroger 11/1 to pick up a 6-pack.
