Beer: Beer Geek Vanilla Shake

From: Mikkeller Brewing San Diego

Why: Even before opening his San Diego brewery in 2016, Danish brewer Mikkel Borg Bjergsø was renowned for his Beer Geek Breakfast beers, a line of imperial stouts. The vanilla shake edition is sweet and creamy, with a hop nip keeping it from getting too sticky. This is a strong beer, so enjoy with someone you love and trust.

Geek out: 13 percent alcohol by volume.
