Well, don't forget Sierra's Bigfoot Barleywine or Sam Adams' Double Bock
and Triple Bock if you're looking for more potent stuff. But the craft
brew revolution is in full-swing here in the States, where many towns
have their own micros. I'm fortunate enough to live within walking
distance of the Burlingame Station Brewery -- which does come in handy
when I'm not drinking my own creations:>. Right now it's Black Snake
Barleywine. OG 1.150, 10%+ alcohol and counting.
BTW, if anyone on the list is in Detroit, go to the Atwater Block
Brewery. It's by far the best German brewery in the US. I broght some
Dunkelweizen home with me from my last trip and cultured their yeast
too. Once the weather warms up, I'm brewing my own!
