I have always been a fan of Stouts, but never really concentrated on them because of my love for IPA's. However, I recently had Young's Chocolate Stout, which I thoroughly enjoyed and I now want to broaden my horizons. Any recommendations?

Lots to see after the weekend, particularly on the Brew Tube.

On that note, I recommend you check out the previous post from our friends at Beer Tap TV...

I have been meaning to mention the Beer Wars movie. Great stuff and it fits with our theme of beer and video. You can now buy the DVD...
