Finishing my floccing home brew. Home made mango salsa. Jalapeño status.

This Hoppin' Frog Barrel Aged Oatmeal Imperial Stout is some good stuff. Initially it seems like it is going to be way to warm (I'm sure from the whiskey barrel) but the harshness never materializes. It's very smooth.

Glad you like it. Might have to pick one up for myself sometime...

I expected it to be good but I'm surprised by it. Like I said, when it hit my tongue, I though "here comes the heat", then it mellowed right out. Exceeds m expectation.

Now, the bomber of RIS I'm holding onto from fins cannot exceed expectations. I am honestly thinking it will be the best stout I've ever had. I am amazed I've let it live this long.

Im surprised as well

water.

Ridire said:

Salt water, yes. I'm the type of person who has to be in extreme pain to take an asprin, so you know I was in bad shape to try that ridiculous thing. I went from "I want to die" to "I feel 100%" in about 2 minutes. I am amazed.

EDIT: This RIS will probably put me back into wishing for death.

I am a huge fan of the neti pot. I used to get chronic sinusitis and now I can actually sleep and breath through my nose with no problems. Yes, it is the weirdest damn thing but it works!

Oh and drinking my crazy 36% Rye Ale

Wow!

It's like voodoo. I was really hurting last night and tried the neti but I was so clogged up and swollen that it couldn't pass through...it was useless. I then tried it again this morning and it flowed through like it was supposed to. I was cleared right up but attributed some of it to the Dayquil I took earlier. But things started getting stuffy again at my kid's soccer game. As soon as I got home, I did the neti again, this time with just table salt...no DayQuil involved but I was instantly right as rain.

On topic...the bottom of this Hoppin Frog RIS bomber.

Survivor from my Chicago trip. They distribute here but I have never seen it sold package here.

Are you trying out new sayings and just using the same picture for practice? Lol

To celebrate the touch of spring we got today, I shoveled out to the grill and invited some friends over for burgers.


And so far had my Kolsch and wee heavy - and looking forward to the Melange they brought!

I saw some at the package store yesterday for $16 per bomber. Does that sound about right? Right now drinking Lagunitas Sucks.

I don't use hops in my salsa. Who cares? Smacked Saturday

A) I am not familiar with this brewery, it was a gift from BGBC.

B) I don't usually buy bombers, so I'm a bit unfamiliar with the pricing.

C) But it's damn good and about 10% ABV, if I recall the label correctly.

I need to clone this beer.

Yea that's about right, a bit under what I've seen it going for at some places.

Drinking a buddy's dubbel with dates and date syrup. It's pretty dry, assuming from the extra sugar.

Heading to the wife's work party in a bit. Fingers crossed for good beer but I don't have high hopes.

My cousin and I polished off a bomber of nugget nectar and this growler of society and solitude number 5. We have a 750 of a Kane brewing stout on deck!!!

Whoop there it is. Kane port omna stout. Really good reminds me of HF earl.

Don't feel bad. I did the same thing. Brewing my last beer with Conan tomorrow morning. I've done three in the past already.

Yeah I cant wait to try a brew with it, if it turns out.

Only one beer for me tonight.

Tasty!

fins, I have to ask: are you a student at KState? When I was an undergrad, I was up to my my eyebrows in Natural Light, I wouldn't have dreamed of drinking the stuff you drink. But, then again, I was an undergrad 20 years ago...

Im only going part time at the moment, going back full-time in the summer. I drank my share of budlight but got into craft beer about a year ago. Not many students drink craft but I have converted a few already

Samuel Smith will never steer you wrong.

Drinking with the Easter Bunny tonight.

I went to grad school part time, about 4 years after graduating with a BA. Worked full time while going to a demanding doctorate program, but I was glad to have beer money as a grad student...especially living in Chicago. Craft beer wasn't quite then what it is now, but I am thankful that I met Larry Bell as an undergraduate and had funds to hang out at Goose Island in grad school.

I know what you mean. I took some time off of school to work fulltime and the extra money really helps, especially for the beer budget. Its a good thing you didnt go to grad school at Kstate, they wont allow you to have a job

Two of my best friends in Chicago were K-State grads...who were big Jayhawk fans. Never understood that. But my choice of grad school was because they were famous for their night program...at the time, the CEO of McDonalds was a product of our evening program.
