I bought Sheaf in a funny 40 ounce bottle last year. I am pretty sure it was at Sams, but I haven't seen it there since.

Anyone know of a place in Chicago that sells Sheaf Stout (Carlton & United Breweries) from Australia? Man that stuff is good!

This is a good stout, but I like the Left Hand Milk Stout even better.

This cool weather is just begging me to grab some stouts!!! Be on the lookout for hand numbered bottles of Great Lakes Barrel-Aged Blackout Stout, too. I think a few of them might end up on Chicago shelves this year!!! yum
