I hate beer so I just go straight to the strong stuff. What's weird is that all the 12% alch beer seems to have been pulled off the shelf out here in O.C. excluding those nasty Loko and XXX drinks (TOO SWEET!) or the expensive Arrogant Bastard drinks.
There is one out of the four 7Elevens out in San Clemente that sells CamoBlack. BUt I don't live in San Clemente Anymore =/.
So Steele Reserve, Earthquake, or High Gravity is for me.
The faster it dulls my sense of taste the better. I'm more of a Spirits man.
