AtlanticDave, what was the preferred vitola for the La Imperiosa? I'm thinking CG, but gotta save a couple weeks... gotta wait for stock to come in anyway.

Anyone can give their opinion obviously. Only had a CG and the petite robusto myself. Looking to get a box.

As for San Diego Beers.....how about Rip Current Hazardous Hazelnut Porter, Zumbar Dark Chocolate Imperial Coffee Stout, Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen, AleSmith Anvil Ale ESB,  The Lost Abbey Avant Garde, The Bruery's Autumn Maple,

They're not all so fru-fru Bean.....the Ayinger Oktoberfest is a standard offering, the Alesmith is a classic English Bitter.  Nothing really left coast about them, as a matter of fact, they're both far right coast.

Real beers not foofoo suds?

Bud, Bud Light, Bud Ice, Bud Dry... remember dry beers? sheesh

The new Belgian owners probably love it... and are gonna bring it back! Retro is IN!

One that turned my stomach just thinking was an Oyster Stout the BIL gave me to try...  still building up my nerve. lol Just psychological, I'm sure.

Yup, psychological....and when you head up this way a bit, you can try a Flying Dog Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout.

The Toro was the top ranked size when the LC14s came out, for what that's worth, followed by the robusto.  The CG probably gets my vote and is the one I am waiting for as well.

I have a guess that Dave will say the toro. He seems to prefer that in many offerings. Something about most blends use that size as the 'base'... if I'm remembering correctly.

Are you going Atlantic, Shaun? Think Dave said $142 VIP? Seems about the most reasonable.

It's not the in-laws who I think he likes, but he may consider it for a warden....

Actually, La Imperiosa is very nice to offer a four pack sampler of the different vitola's to help you with that conclusion for only $26.  For this one, yes, my first choice is a toro (6 3/8 x 50) followed by the corona (5 5/8 x 46)
