According to what some of the parish folks told me Saturday reve won't be bottled for some time. It's a lot of investment to bottle according to the couple of workers I spoke with. Label designs, brewing space dedication, materials, etc. for now it's strictly on tap at the brewpub for take away for the foreseeable future

Favorite is my homebrewed coffee stout.

Commercial

1) Founder's Breakfast Stout
2) Parish Reve Coffee Stout - Only reason it's not #1 is that it's a little too much coffee for me. I want more of the stout to shine through. But between a fresh Parish vs. a Fresh Founder's, i'll pick the founders by a very small margin.
3) Santa Fe - Java Stout
4) Terrapin - Wake N Bake
5) Prairie - Bomb. Only reason not ranked higher is that at 10%, and the richness of it, I can only drink 1 at a setting.
6) Terrapin - Single origin coffee Hawaii

I've had others but they weren't anything memorable.

My go-to coffee beer in the morning is HUB Survival Stout. It's around 6% ABV, so it isn't too big, to start out the day. It is very easy to drink and has strong coffee notes (Stumptown coffee, if I recall).

Laurelwood Organic Espresso Stout is pretty good, also.

I've got to start drinking more coffee beers. I like them a lot, and I'm seeing many local brewers are pairing up with local coffee roasters and making some one-offs that sound pretty interesting.

Mouton,
See if Habersham has 4 packs of the Terrapin limited release. They teamed up with Jittery Joes, a local Athens coffee company and made four beers with 4 types of coffee. Sumatra, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Kona.

Best coffee beers I have ever had.

Edit: R2R, I found this in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago, so you may be able to get it.

They are not sweet at all.

Was told Saturday by a couple of guys that worked there it has 500mg of caffeine per 10 oz pour, may be illegal for them to bottle that


yea i think you heard that wrong... even 50mg would be a ton for a beer. coffee beers have barely any actual caffeine in them

I don't know about the mg of caffeine in the Parish Reve but I definitely felt a little buzz after I finished that Crowler.

Ballast Point Victory at Sea is a favorite in this house. I also always enjoy Founders Breakfast Stout.

The multiple listings of Santa Fe Java in this thread leads me to believe that at $8.99-9.99 per 6-pack, that beer is at the top of the Best Bang for your Buck beer lists.
