Altho it's seasonal, Sam Adams has a Double Bock which is quite nice. Be 
warned - it's more akin to 'sparkling barley wine' than beer, tho.

;-)

Extra Stout is a little too... "extra" for my taste, but regular Guinness I 
enjoy at times (as well as Boddingtons or Newcastle) and a local pub will 
serve a half-n-half (Harps on the bottom, Guinness on the top) which I've 
been known to order on occasion. Now if only I could get a German Altbier 
like I [over]drank in Germany back in '91... ;^> In the infamous word of 
Alton Brown: "Yum."

Unless someone else drops to their knees begging you, I'll volunteer. (I'm 
booked thru mid-September, but afterwards, all is good.)

The list runs mailman, right? I'm an ezmlm-guy myself, but mailman 
shouldn't be too hard to figure out... Just let me know what needs to be 
done (procedures, etc.) around mid-September.
