If you're ever wondering which beer to have on your birthday, Prairie Birthday Bomb might be your answer.
I had this beer the other day even though it wasn't my birthday. But that's because this is one of my favorite stouts of all time. In my defense, I did purchase this beer with the intent of drinking it on my birthday. However, after aging it for about a year, I decided that it was time to drink it and not wait any longer.
I must say tho, this beer is pretty pricy and it cost me $12.99 plus tax for a 12oz bottle. Yikes!
Nonetheless, it was well worth every penny!
What's your favorite birthday beer?

Notes / Commercial Description:
Prairie is pleased to announce and celebrate the 3rd birthday of our most popular, well known, and voted most likely to succeed beer we produce, Prairie Bomb! Join our celebration for the beer that changed it all. We did everything but hang up streamers.
What’s the buzz about anyway? Bomb! was a mad creation in response to the many complicated brews that required an interpreter to approach. The path to creating this ultimate beer that never planned on taking itself seriously led to many unexpected revelations. It contained almost every ingredient imaginable. It was difficult. It was delicious. It was a free spirit, complex but lending itself to endless possibilities. It became a much loved member of the family, and a representation of our brewing style and how it has evolved. In its original form Bomb! comes close to being a heady, strong dessert in itself. This led to the conclusion that we had exponential possibilities with flavor profiles and aging processes.
Because of this, Birthday Bomb! was conceived to celebrate three wonderful years of experimentation and fun loving flavors like the current incarnation with caramel sauce. Made in house by our brewers with nothing but black gloves and a propane tank. The rest is the complex mix of hops and malt with a healthy dose of the signature coffee and spices.

Ok!
Prairie definitely puts out some good stuff. I just tried Marshall Zuchov from Cigar City recently, which is another monstrous pitch black stout. Have you tried that one? I am digging this post and the direction you've taken on steemit, followed and look forward to more!
Hey buddy, thanks for the words. No, I haven't had much from cigar city since they don't distribute in my area. I love their jai alai tho!
Ahh gotcha, they just recently started contracting some of their flagships through Oscar Blues near Asheville so we're starting to see more from them. If you ever want to beer trade some AVL for CALI goodness let me know!
