			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Firestone Walker Parabola has been rated as one of the best beers of 2011. This is a russian imperial stout in all its glory. The barrel aging adds a wealth of subtle flavor that really brings out the best of the stout. This is a very difficult beer to get so if you find it, stock up!. From the web site:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Parabola has been a major component of past anniversary blends and is one of our most aggressive offerings. This beer features bold bourbon and tobacco aromas and a rich dark chocolate, charred oak flavor. Parabola is best enjoyed in moderation and is a perfect beer to pair with those chocolate dessert favs.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a barrel aged edition of the Speedway Stout that clocks in at a hefty 12.2% ABV. With mixtures of cofffee, chocolate, caramel, and malt this brew is sure to please any stout lovers. From the commercial description:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Our HUGE Imperial Stout that weighs in at an impressive 12% ABV! As if that’s not enough, we added pounds of coffee for a little extra kick, then aged it for a year in bourbon barrels. This beer has been rated the #1 BEST BEER IN THE WORLD at ratebeer.com. It was also featured on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in a segment on the best dark beers in America.

It&#8217;s so rare you can barely find any information about it on the <a href="http://www.lostabbey.com">Lost Abbey</a> web site. It&#8217;s one of their &quot;vintage bottles&quot; which is generally not widely publicly released and can in some cases only be available at the tasting bar. If you come across one, pick it up! It&#8217;s worth its weight in gold.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pliny the Elder is widely regarded as one of the best examples of a double IPA. It&#8217;s comparable to Hopslam or Little Sumpin Sumpin. Named after Pliney the Elder, a roman Naturalist who invented hops, the beer clocks in at 8.0% ABV. </p>
<blockquote><p>Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, &#8220;Lupus salictarius&#8221;, meaning wolf among scrubs.&#8221; Hops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, Humulus lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle&#8217;s legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>
22oz hand bottled examples of creative brewing at its best. Each volume of Side Project represents the artisan brewing spirit of Terrapin’s Brew Master, Brian “Spike” Buckowski.

Great Divid celebrates its 16th anniversary with a wood aged double IPA. If you like any kind of barrel aged beer, definitely give this one a try. It pours a deep blonde red and is more complicated than your average double IPA.<br />
</p>
<blockquote><p>
This copper-hued treat is a celebration of everything Great Divide does best. Plenty of malty sweetness provides a backdrop for earthy, floral English and American hops, while French and American oak round off the edges and provide a touch of vanilla. Thanks to everyone who&#8217;s supported us  for the last 16 years &#8211; here’s to 16 more! 10.0% ABV.

If you&#8217;re in the mood for a Belgian style fruity ale, check out Victory Brewing 12. The pear and apricots nicely balance out the Belgian red style. If you can&#8217;t drink it right away this one would be a great candidate for aging.</p>
<p></p>
<blockquote><p>
Our vintage-dated, Belgian-style specialty ale, offered in corked 25.4 oz. bottles, is a sensation in subtlety. Heady with a aromatic fruity start and taste, this amber ale features hints of pear and apricot in its well-nuanced flavor. The initial impression of fruitiness concludes in a refreshing dryness that begs you to sip again. Be fore- warned, this ale is immense as it registers 12% abv.
