Oil change oatmeal stout - puts hair on your chest!

Funny, but down here De Ja Vu is a strip club.

That oatmeal stout sounds good. Doesn't seem like I'd be able to get a hold of it without having to visit the actual place. The prices at that place are damn cheap, though. That always make for a good time.

Well, sometimes a strip club can have comedy occur, does that count? like when the wife of a client comes in and drags him out by his ear asking if this is where the mortgage went.

hey, its a tragic comedy.

There is a place called 'Flat Branch Brewery' that makes their own. I highly recommend visiting there. I enjoy getting a growler every now and then from there.

Sounds interesting, Ive never been anywhere that sold beer by the growler, gonna have to check it out one of these days.

if it is after I return to Columbia, you'll need to let me know you are in town, I know a few other places about town after living there 26 years.

I'd try the Abbey Porter and the Belgian Triple. They seem in palate range.

Yeah, those sound pretty tasty as well.

I think we should start a meet up across the U.S. and Canada to visit breweries as a group. That could be fun.

Depends how much cash you would be carrying on you.

I tried some Shawinigan Handshake last night. Pretty good. The name comes Jean Chrétien a prime minister who came from Shawinigan. He once strangled a protestor in "self-defense" and it was dubbed the Shawinigan handshake.

The beer itself is an very refreshing weizenbock with 6,5% of alcohol. A bit fruity, spicy and sweet with hints of citrus and yeast. Hops is added to the mix that gives it a subtle crisp bitterness. I really appreciated it, but at the end the sweetness was a bit much. A nice summer beer.
