Reason for tirade, Magic Hat Blind Faith in hand right now:-)
Wish We Had Some Of Your Good Northern Beer Down here, Brother!

GA is starting to have a great selection, maybe you need to make a road trip

I have been vacationing NC this week and mostly been drinking Duck Rabbit Milk Stout with the occasional Miller Light in the sun

Awesome...That is my next step (getting into homebrew). Unfortunately I have to wait until the winter because the Arizona heat won't do my beer good and the wife isn't having me take over the house or garage.

Do it! After brew day, all you really need is a cool, dark space (like a coat closet) where you can sit a 5 gallon bucket for a couple weeks. Doesn't take up much space at all. Trust me, I'm from CA!

Start building your setup now!
It took me a couple of months to gather, cut, drill, weld, and prepare all of my gadgets.
I started in April or May and actually brewed my first batch by myself on this past Saturday.

Me and my sub-par beer palate are enjoying a Three Floyds Gumbalhead.

Coffee Bender is the one Surly I don't care for. Too much coffee for my preferences. Love regular Bender though.
Took my older son fishing tonight on my neighbor's dock. He fished, I had a couple PBR's and smoked a Los Statos Delirios. It's all good.

I have decided it may be very good with Brunch, lol. I like my coffee.
I also thought about simply taking a good beer and adding some cold pressed coffee might accomplish the same thing, within reason.

Me and a couple of my friends are currently enjoying a couple of 2009 Goose Island Bourbon County stouts with Anejo 48's. Very complimentary to each other.

I agree.
I almost had one of the bourbon county coffee stouts tonight, but it was a bit warm. I usually like em chilled just a bit, room temp doesn't do it for me.
Night Stalker is also nummy.
I got a couple chillin for Friday now... The Bourbon County Coffee and a 2010 Dark Lord. The dark lord has been hanging out for what, 4 months now?Time for a taster.

Two things you can't have enough of: Stone's and DFH!
:-)
Oh, and Sierra Nevada. So that's three. Three things you can't have enough of.
Well, and good cigars. So that's four things.
Ok, five things: naked women. But that's it. Five things you can't have enough of.
