Beer of the Day thread (and ci-derp)

Does anyone happen to have a link to a really good dark beer selection gift basket. I'm really hoping to find something with a dozen or so monstrous and incredible imperial stouts and porters, hopefully from areas other than the left coast, since I've pretty much sampled most of the good ones out here. I need to get on this asap since it's for Xmas.

Good luck with that. Even on the good coast we get all the left coast beer for some reason and finding our own damn brews is a very local thing. Like I mean, I can go into any number of stores and get any number of west coast brews. I go to the liquor store down the street from me thats practically across the street from worm town brewery and they got nothin. I still havent had the ******* beer thats literally made less than a mile from me because I've never seen it in a god damn store that is open past 5pm or on weekends.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this. I've been drooling over a bunch of east coast stuff for years. There is almost zero distribution on the left coast unless you live in like LA or SF and the its only specialty retailers.
When I drank my way around Epcot last year, my only regret is being too sloshed to not spend more time drinking in "The American Adventure" area. I was stunned at the variety they were offering. That's where I got my first taste of Bells Oberon and I believe Two Hearted. Now I'm like a junky chasing a fix

I just found a few "contenders" down at the local Whole Foods store that I though were worth sharing. The liquor buyer at that particular store is apparently a big stout fan, and I am fast becoming a fan of his selections. Today's offerings:
Hangar 24 Craft Brewery Pugachev's Cobra
Sorry, I couldn't find a pic of the current release of the Barrel Roll (Pugachev's Cobra) ^^, but it is a monstrous, barrel aged stout with a ABV of early 19%. I want so badly to open one up, but I'm led to believe they get even better with age so I am refraining as long as I possibly can.
^^This one sounds pretty good too, but I'm not opening one tonight.
Instead, I will have one of these puppies (which I have been searching all over for, for the past year or so):
YUM. I do love me some barrel aged brews!

Interesting beer holder.
Not that I approve of fizzy yellow beer, or of dancing in that manner, but it's still nice to see mechanical science applied in the furtherance of beer-preservation.

I've been on a lagunitas kick lately.
So far, Imperial Red has been my fav.
Just finished a 6pack of lil sumpthin sumpthin.
Hairy eyeball awaits in the fridge
The Imperial Red was very inviting, not difficult to get over the taste. Smoooth
Lil sumpthin was a bit different. Very Wheat, Much alcohol taste, so drunk off of 2
