Daily Pint Goes to Asia

Summer is almost here, and that means it's time for a vacation.

First up, India. We're pouring a keg of Avery Maharaja, a big IPA with a heavy, grapefruity hoppiness. This beer weighs in at 10.24%, but drinks like it's 6%. You'll finish this one before you've started. Appease your colonial overlords and wash it down with some Firestone Union Jack, another worthy IPA.

Take off your turban and pop on your fez, next we travel to Russia.

Now on tap: Stone Imperial Russian Stout 2009. A beer that needs no introduction. It's worth mentioning that in the back, we've got a few vintage bottles from previous years. Ask Llan or Phil, and we can pull one out for you and throw it in the fridge.

After this one kicks, we've got one more keg of IRS, and we might try and hold on to it for a while. Sure, we'd love to break it out in 2014, but we just don't have the facilities to store beer for that long.  How long do you think we should wait before we put on our last keg of 2009 IRS? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts.

Get in here and drink some of the IRS we've got on now so you can taste the difference in a few months.
