Hey - has anyone had the barrel aged coconut porter from Avery Brewing?
It is available on draft near me and there are a couple more that interest me; plus the food is decent. Not outstanding but good. Here is the (albeit small) current list.
The BEERHOUSE Bar in St. Louis - Drink menu

Let me know if you would be so kind. Flights there are cheap so I will likely try the weird thing anyway but I would love to know your opinions.

The coconut usually fades in the barrel, but it's a decent beer (better if you love coconut).
The Xocoveza from Stone is realllly good.
I've not had the velvet yeti before, but I love regular yeti and BA yeti.

I love DFH 60 Minute. It's the definition of a clean IPA.

Doing the Abita Brewery tour this Saturday in Louisiana. I am excited to drink Purple Haze from the source. Oh ya.

Got to try some of a friend's CBS, all it took was sharing some of my baptist stash. The double barrel baptist was from last year, and the four of us agreed it was the best of the bunch. The CBS was actually better than the KBS, even though it didn't have any age on it yet.

If you like coconut flavor in a beer, it is quite pronounced in the triple barrel baptist. For me, it was a little too much.

Big bad baptista is like Epic's xocoveza. Both of those are homeruns in my book.

We met my daughter at the Carolina Ale House tonight for dinner, and they had Wicked Weed Pernicious on draft - so I ordered a pitcher just for me. Wife drove home - damn I’m still feeling it, but well worth it.

Pemulis Pemulis That is a great line up. I love the Baptist series, and double barrel was one of my favorites. I ahven't tried triple barrel yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I did manage to snag some of Veil's BA stout, and holy shit it's a better version of BCBS

New Belgium has a collaboration with Ben & Jerry's for a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ale.... tried one bottle last night, not very good. basically just tasted like a standard light ale, could barely taste any chocolate or cookie flavor.

Pretty sure I tried this a few months back, definitely a pass.

I'll strongly consider it. I like that beer fest. Weather is usually perfect, no lines are that bad, good selection. Food lines are terrible though. The weekend prior is the beer fest at Faction Brewing in Alameda and that's always a good one too.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves though. In a little over three weeks:

I tried my share of chocolate beers, most recently the Schokobräu from the chocolate museum in Köln, but never found a good one.

I really liked Shock Top Shockolate a few years ago just off the top of my head. And Atwater Brewery Decadent.

Well shit, I'll have to let you know. I've started the Keto diet, so I'm trying to hold off on beer until the Spring Brew Fest over by us. I'll think on it and let you know
