Yuuup! Home till Monday! Have to go in to the office tomorrow and Wed. Have to continue writing this users manual.

Right now I'm watching the Pens/Bruins game drankin this:



Yummy!! Verry hoppy!

I also picked up a sixxer of Mad Elf. I knew I'd get raped by Giant Eagle, so I bought some KY before I went over to the cafe to buy the sixxer. It made the $18.00 price tag hurt only a little less. Friggin ridiculous.

The bottles hop that I just about live in will pop a bottle and pour it by the glass. The guy who owns it is a huge rodenbauch grand caru drinker I personally would choose the sour in the rye when he offers. This same guy owns one of the first and biggest craft beer distributers in pa he can get anything!

at least you were prepared I heard the bomber and glass giftset is $19 tho! Talk about price gauging

It is a very nice glass though

I'm drinking DogFish Head King Midas Touch..Not exactly something new or anything, but my local beer stores have not had it anytime I checked within the last year...I like the history surrounding it, so I have been looking for it for a while.

Today when at the local store, I checked out the DogFish Head shelf on the rack, nothing. Checked the fridge part, they had 2 four packs so I picked one up

Definitely a different tasting beer. I'm not a big wine guy, but to me - it tastes half(maybe one third) white wine - half beer. I like it alot, I'm on my third one now Cannot taste the 9 % ABV at all.

Also picked up a 4 pack of Great Lakes Blackout Stout, but that is for another day and another time...AKA tomorrow

No pour shot, but a fridge shot..Also have a 24 pack of Saranac's Holiday brews..



ETA : That Redd's Apple Ale in the back is disgusting..Not because it is a "mainstream" beer, or a fruity beer...It just doesn't taste good :/ The apple flavoring is almost "rancid"

Homebrewed Black Walnut Honey Ale

A man can take a break but I guess it won't be here! More HB I may change it up next pour.

My Westy XII clone. Pitched too hot and got a fusel bomb. It's aged out a little over the last year, but having the real deal makes this taste worse. At least I know my mistake for next time...

Thanks marcb!

That's an awesome beer. One of the few new Belgium beers I'll drink.

yeah I have to agree. Never been a big NB fan but this one's a decent sour for the price.

finsfan said:

damn i may have to pick one of those up, I heard most of the lips of faith brews arent that great

Click to expand...

this one's pretty good. I had the 2013 Le Terroir a few weeks ago--that's my favorite of the series that I've tried.

dirtybasementbrew said:

Have you had this yet?

Click to expand...

nope. I've never seen that one on the shelves.

Drinking my nut brown. After week 5 it's starting to taste a lot better. I can see, to never wait that long to crack the keg though. 3 weeks top. Patience

Its a small brewery/ restaurant in hartford CT. Went there with the lady once. They distribute to a few places that i know of. Got this sixer in greenfield MA a couple months ago.

Its an english style amber according to bottle id say close to an eSb as well. Pretty good nothing crazy.

City steam. Blonde in blonde is pretty good. Nothing from them really blows me away. Fun place tho

Drinking OJ as I watch #26 on defense from the Redskins get picked on! Ninernation.

Here's to having the week off and getting smacked on a Monday night

I'm a fan of Naughty Nurse, though it will probably be a while before I buy more just due to all the new beer we keep getting in the store.

Not too shabby and definitely exceeded expectations based on what I've heard. Trying it on the recommendation from a friend and I'm finding it well balanced.

SN DevESTATEtion ale. Would of rather of had the estate, rather. Good black ipa,solid-not great,was a little underwhelmed comparably to some great black ipa's. I admit if it had been a bit bigger abv with more hop flavor and aroma I would have liked it more.

Hello's Toasted Coconut Sweet Milk Stout, aka the Stuck Stout. I know it didn't come out how you planned, but this is still a fantastic brew. The mouthfeel doesn't feel even close to 1.030. The toasty and coconut components are great but don't get in the way of the base beer coming through. Awesome beer, Hello.

Good stuff.

Cherry coke right now. Beer later.
I didn't drink any beer last night while watching the game. It felt so unnatural to watch football without drinking beer. So I have to make up for it tonight.

Click to expand...

I did drink two Brown Shuggas last night, but stopped while watching We're the Millers as I didn't want to miss it while "napping". 2 for a Sunday is a new low record despite watching football all day though haha. Ah, cherry coke, my downfall.

I had this as well tonight! Was good. Agree, expected a little more but I did enjoy it!

Happy Monday!




Wow this is good!

Great Black IPA from Santa Fe courtesy of my man, Stauff. One of the better ones I've had. Seems to be a hard style to pull off well.

Unfortunately I only have one more of these. So maybe one more Monday like this... Anyone know what Brett strain they use in the Surette?

Another tallgrass.

Blergh. Drinking a cream ale. Have to work way later than I want to due to circumstances beyond my control, but at least I can drink beer while I'm working.

Going to Nashvile first weekend in December. Called Dickel today and it looks like I should be able to detour down there to get my first barrel. Have a little over 25 gallons of Flandersish Red and Brown to put in there and I'll be picking up a 24 gallon fermenter at LHBS Weds so I'm ready to fill barrel when I get it. Only question is if I should get my local brewery to put stout in the barrel for a few weeks before I use it. Hello solera!
