Try the Wychwood. Now. If it wasn't for the existence of Spitfire ale, they would make pretty much all my favourite beer.

I've actually tried all of these except the Chaucer's. Of the list, Rogue is my favorite, and I'm not a huge fan of the Hobgoblin. I much prefer the offerings from Stone Brewery these days www.stonebrew.com/

Hot damn I wonder if they have it at my local liquor store. Hobgoblin is obviously a classic but if you're a fan of stronger ales I recommend their King Goblin. 6.6% with this lovely chocolatey after-taste. Goliath is also another good one. Like Hobgoblin it's a ruby ale.

Ahhh. I've never actually had any ales that have the chocolate-y taste to them.

I once drank cocoa that had an ale taste. It may have gone bad.

Like Hobgoblin it's a ruby ale. I aboslutely love strong Ales, and I've heard King Goblin is good, so I might give that a try for my next new beer. My favorite beer company (Stone) makes their Arrogant Bastard Ale which is a 7 point something ABV and their Double Bastard which I think is like an 11.2 ABV or somewhere along those lines. They also make some amazing IPA's. I've actually tried all of these except the Chaucer's. Of the list, Rogue is my favorite, and I'm not a huge fan of the Hobgoblin. I much prefer the offerings from Stone Brewery these days www.stonebrew.com/Speaking of which... And yeah, Rouge makes some pretty good stuff too. My favorite is their Dead Guy Ale.

The thread name made me think it was going to be about geeky drinking games. I had roommates that would make a drinking game out of [insert video game], where the winner would drink, and the competition would balance itself as the better players got more shitfaced.

Try the Stone Levitation. Fucking awesome. Only problem is, they go down a bit too smoothly, so 1 turns into 3. No Hangover though! Ruination is also good, but very bitter. If you can, go to the brewery in Escondido. They are just as arrogant in person as they present themselves in the beers.

They are just as arrogant in person as they present themselves in the beers. Had both. Levitation is pretty good, and I have it more often because it's the easiest one for me to find by where I live. I love Ruination though. I love strong and bitter beers.

The thread name made me think it was going to be about geeky drinking games. I had roommates that would make a drinking game out of [insert video game], where the winner would drink, and the competition would balance itself as the better players got more shitfaced. Here's a fairly simple drinking game for the Grand Theft Auto games: * When beginning play, you have 30 seconds to gain a Wanted star. * Each time you gain a Wanted star, all spectators take a sip. Each time you lose a Wanted star, you take a sip. * If you successfully lose pursuit entirely, you take one sip for each star evaded, and you once again have 30 seconds to gain a Wanted star. * If you are killed or arrested, or fail to gain a Wanted star within the 30 second time limit, pause the game, finish off your current beverage, and pass the controller to the next player.

Brew Dog Tokyo* has some connection to Space Invaders I can't remember. It's awesome, too.

Good god! You might as well make it a "Rush Limbaugh says something racist" drinking game if you want to get that fucked up!
