Brewers like it big. We asked a few friends in the brewing industry to name their favorite stouts, and despite the fact that we put no style restrictions on them, every single one came back with an imperial stout. Interestingly enough, only one is barrel-aged. Read on to see what these brewers are drinking when they’re not drinking the beer they make.

Bell’s Expedition Stout. It’s one you can readily get, but Bell’s is consistently high quality, and it ages phenomenally. You can buy a 4-pack, drink one, and save the rest.
