Great value at 11.95 a six. Should be around 40 a case at the BS.

I was at C'est what last night and there were two almost identical beers from FM. Both Cedar Aged DIPAs. One called "El Toro" and the other called "Matador"... both 11.4% ABV. Only differnce between the two seemed to be 80 vs 88 IBU. Anyone know what the deal is with these?

Matador was on cask, el toro was the same beer on tap....I asked one of the servers it was the same beer...I tried neither. The RIS I thought was awesome and both the belgian ones were really good too, the porter was good but probably the one that impressed me the least.

What makes you think it will be at The Beer Store?
