I am drinking Flying Dog (Frederick, MD) and Dogfish Head (Rehoboth, DE)....

Dogfish has a 90 minute IPA which is over 9% and Flying Dog has a Raging Bitch IPA which is over 9%.... cant get thru 2 of them (in glass bottles!) easily...

Tom I was wondering if the Venzuelans can use something else down there besides imported barley malt... gotta be something they can use local no?
