A buddy of mine just returned from Austin and brought me a couple 750ml's from Jester King Brewing. I think I'll start with the black metal stout when I get home.
That's actually pretty common locally. I love it. I had no idea so many microbreweries were around me until recently.
You can either spend 5 bucks on a sixer of shitty lager at Kroger and not catch a buzz, or buy two tall stouts out of someone's garage business and get shithoused on a better tasting beer.
