Haven't had Maharaja in a long time. If you're looking for something similar, check out Mojo Risin'. From another fantastic Colorado brewery. :)

Thanks, I will give it a try. What really got me on the Maharaja was the alcohol volume, whew.........................tipsy.

Since they don't bottle it, we had a friend over night a growler from CA. :)
Was touch and go since he thought it was damaged in transit, but fortunately in good shape.
It's really as amazing as it's talked up to be! Blind Pig is okay, and Elder is fantastic (when fresh!!!). I homebrewed a clone of the latter, and was happy to try it side by side with Elder. While mine was good, it still didn't hold a candle to the original. Hop extract really is key.
 
This is one of my favorite beers to have. It also doesn't hurt that it is from the town over from where I grew up. I can find it down in FL.

New Holland's big beer series has been a little hit or miss for me. I did love their Pilgrim's Dole I had a few years ago. First wheat wine ever and really enjoy'd it.

Are you in CA? If you can find any Russian River IPAs, I highly recommend them. Some of the best out there. :)

Yes, I am in California. Sigh..................so many beers, so little time! What is up with Colorado and all the brewery's there? Is it Like "Napa" is for wines in California.
 
Fullers London Pride
Youngs Double Chocolate Ale
Worthington White Shield (Bottle Conditioned)
McMullens AK
Greene King St. Edmund's Ale (IPA)
Amstell
Estrella Damm
Bitburger
Newcastle Amber (Hard to find, but well worth the search)
 
My go to beers are Heineken and Stella Artois.

I also love some Abita Strawberry and Andygator.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but the Abita Strawgator looks very intriguing. Going to have to try that one soon.
 
Always enjoy Bass Ale, Negro Modelo also good for me. Totally get why price is an issue, but so rarely have one, never thought about it. Hard to imagine paying "event" prices for any beer regardless of how tasty, however.

Childhood beer memory: Out scrambling around in the hills with best friend, we found a six pack (who remembers the brand?) stashed under some bushes! Only one obvious thing to do, when you are 12 years old and score like that.......Throw rocks at them! We got enough splashed on us, to get Mom's attention when we got home.
 
Okay so now I have become a bit of a Beer Snob...

Personally I will no longer drink Bud, Bud Light, or Miller Lite.

I, have honestly, gotten to the point where I only like to drink Microbrewery beers such as Vienna Lager, DC Brau, etc.

The only 'Macro' brews I really like anymore are Fat Tire, Sam Adams, Yuengling, Smithwicks, and similar.

I have to say that I have by 'spoiled' by Beer Tastings and ordering good beers.

It just got to the point that the common Domestic beers taste crappie.

Okay...that is my two cents.
