Hey fellow beer lovers, PSA for Lagunitas' limited offering...
Strong ale, nice and smooth, a little bit of sweet after taste, paired up great with a nice salmon filet. Be warned though, has a kick - 9.99% ABV. Available through January. Bit pricey ($9.99 most places "on sale"
but worth it.

We have been enjoying some Ivan the Terrible Imperial Stout from Big Sky Brewing about that price for a 4 pack. Same strength. the bottles and the beer are as black as they come.
I really enjoy all of Lagunitas' stuff. I usually alternate between the IPA and the Czech Pils, with an ocassional Little Sumpin, but they're all good.
Hope you can find it in MN. 
New Hampshire's state liquor stores are famed throughout New England for their rock-bottom prices. 
Have to see if I can find it, or just drive over to Petaluma and visit the brewery!
Funny they poured the Cappuccino in a Stone Brewing Arrogant Bastard Ale glass> I've had the Arrogant Bastard, but prefer their Ruination IPA. All good from Stone too.
attempted my first batch of home-brewed coffee porter. Bottled it today - in two weeks, we shall see!
Hey - my book tour may take me to your neck of the woods - it is going to be a busy year for me - nearly made it to Santa Rosa in Sept but that event clashes with one that I am keynoting, so no go.
Definitely let me know if your anywhere near the Bay Area and we'll meet up for a pint somewhere!
unfortunately, the darkest variety they had was Little Sumpin' Sumpin'. I tried the Dogtown Pale Ale, too, but I don't dig pales much.
LSS was ok - but I would have preferred something darker. So, I'll try Brown Shugga' if I find it!
Used to drink Sierra Nevada Pale Ale before I got into Lagunitas. The thing I like about the India Pale Ales is they have more of the character of the stouts, but not as heavy.
Try the Lagunitas Imperial if you can find it, I think it'll fit your darker preference.
