back to the Bud Light Lime that worked for KU, Baylor, NCC. I came home from work for the 2nd half of KU game and that's all we had. It was leftover from my wife's trip to Chicago. It's been working.
Im planning a trip there in September. Found some pretty decent places for $150/night. Did you research ?
It was kind of a spur of the moment deal. hotel was 160 euro for one night. its the entertainment that gets you. Most expensive city in germany. the women are beautiful and the beer is fantastic. you will love it

The brewery is Mikkeller out of Scandinavia, and yes, there is actual weasel **** in this beer. You see this beer uses the most expensive coffee in the world called Civet Coffee to make this incredible Imperial Oatmeal Stout. So right about now you’re probably asking yourself what is so special about this Civet coffee and where does the weasel **** come in? Well Civet coffee is coffee gathered up by a weasel like animal called the Civet cat. Civet cats only eat the best and ripest coffee berries which they then digest and are broken down by the enzymes in their body. Once they relieve themselves of these coffee berries, the weasel **** is then collected by man and used to make the Civet Coffee and apparently one hell of a great beer in Mikkellers Beer Geek Brunch. On a surprising note about the coffee itself, Civet coffee is known to have a strong taste and an excessively strong aroma,who would have guessed?

Lagunitas is what got me into the west coast IPAs.
Currently living in Iowa, but can I pick up the beers you listed in IL or WI?
That's a lot of Surly. I love Bender and Furious, but I haven't tried any of those. Definitely need to hit up a beer store next time I'm in the cities.
Illinois has everything on that list. If you are near Decorah it would be a crime not to pick up some Toppling Goliath.
They also had Bender and Furious (Which is my favorite) but I wanted to try something different. Pentagram is probably one you either like or hate since it's a sour.
I like going to BlueMax liquors in Minneapolis when I'm up there to get my craft brew haul.

I love West Coast IPAs. My favorites that you may be able to find are:
Lagunitas IPA and Little Sumpin Sumpin (Technically a Pale Wheat Ale like Boulevard's 80 Acre)
Stone Ruination Double IPA
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
Bait Shop had it on for a loooooong time. It was delicious. Also, its called Kopi Luwak coffee. :smile:
