No such thing as bad publicity! I know James Watt through my work with the FSB (that's the Federation of Small Businesses in the UK, nothing to do with Russian secret service!), he's a clever lad and a marketing genius! :thumbsup:

If I was back home I would guy a selection of their products and have a beer tasting night with my friends!

Beware of anyone offering you a 'Balitika #9" it's lethal, comes from Russia and is the strongest I've every had the misfortune to consume. The hangover was like nothing I've ever experienced.

Every now again the Barracuda stocks #7 which would equate to the old 'Tennets Super'.

Cheers :drinkwine:

You guys don't know nothing..Take it from a blue ribbon home brewer..This is the holy grail of hops..It's nearly 27% alcohol AND it tastes great, and at $54 a six pack it had dam well better..It goes down so easy that If you stuck a cooler full of these in the middle of a frat party they'd all die from alcohol poisoning..It cost me about $12 to make 5 gallons of American beer, it cost me about $15 to clone a New Castle, and about $40 to clone a Chimay..It cost almost $100 to clone the Dogfishhead 120 minute IPA..There is so much grain involved..The brew is great for ball games and hiking because all you need is one or two..Last week we went to a baseball game and we parked 5 blocks from Coors Field..Me and my pal drank one Dogfishead 120 on the walk to the ball park and by the time we got there we were nicely toasted, then as soon as we got in the park I did my little trick were I got two beers at the beer stand, walked around the corner, we chugged them, them poured some foam on my arm and I go right back around the corner to the beer stand and say "look what happened! I went around the corner and someone walked right into me and spilled my beers!" They will always pour you two more for free..Works everytime..We got in our seats and we did'nt need any more beer..In fact because of the 120's that was too much beer..
