So , I realize this is wrong time of the year to post this. I was on vacation in Kentucky over the 4th holiday, pretty rainy, so there was a couple of trips to the liquor store. This one store had a few cases of of this ale for $2 for a big bomber size bottle. I picked one up and am just now...

I had to work out in Nebraska this week. While waiting for my flight out of Lincoln, I tried a couple of beers from Empyrean Brewing. Their Third Stone brown ale was a very good beer. Then I tried their Dark Side Vanilla Porter....WOW! These guys have nailed this. It's not a robust porter...

Great website. Lots of info. Well, enough reading and research for now. Can't drink it if you don't brew it. Doing my first 5 gal batch tomorrow, an American Amber from a Brewers Best kit. Cheers!
