Triple Bock

Blackberry User/American Citizen: [slurring] “I don’t hold my liquor ‘cause it never holds me back!”
Android User/British Citizen: “Clever girl.”
BU/AC: “That reminds me, I drank all the rest of the Sam Adams I had at home. Sadness. You might knock it, but it gets the job done.”
AU/BC: “The seasonal stuff isn’t bad. But my god, their Triple Bock was amazing. I don’t think they even make it anymore, it was around for a couple of years in the ’90s. That’s a crying shame. It had an insane alcohol content.”
BU/AC: “Sam Adams did a Belgian style? Why’d they murder it? Do they hate freedom?”
AU/BC: “I think the more sensible question is, where can we find it?”

17.5%. The Emperor of Beers. In 1994, 1995, and 1997, at least. But the most curious thing to me is why 1996 was a gap year…
A simultaneous search indicates there is one bar/club that allegedly stocks it within 100 miles of me. There are a few bottles available through eBay and other online vendors. One (220 oz, a little more than half a standard 12oz bottle) goes for $10. Seems pricey, until you consider it’s more than 3 times as strong as your average beer. Yowza!
If I didn’t have 83 cents in my savings account at the moment, I’d have already sprung for it. As it is, I’ll probably just drink some discount hobo vodka and call it even.
