Fuckin-a right.

If you can't get it on draft, get it in the can. It seems like they use a different gas for carbonation than they do in the bottled version. Maybe nitrogen instead of carbon dioxide?

Anyway, it gives it a great sort-of "creamy" taste and mouth feel. Delicious. Got some in the fridge that I'm gonna attack later tonight.

I still wear white shoes after Labor Day.

Just to piss off the squares.

and I drink my stout out of a rubber boot.

Just for kicks.

I'm a big fan of their 6,7, and 8. The 9 is just grav(it)y. The porter is decent, but the dark lager is where it's at.

There was a bar in Amherst, MA called the Moan and Dove that opened up in around 2002. It was kind of near my house, so I'd booze there on occasion (free peanuts!). They had Pint bottles of Baltika 9 for $3! It was awesome, you could get totally drunk for like $15. That was a cool bar, I wonder if its still open.

Finishing gravity, measured in degrees Plato, aka Brix, aka Balling. These are brewers measurements that determine the amount of fermentable extract in a beer, hence it's strenght. That's the short story.
