Well...got to the market 10 minutes too late for DiNics...maybe tomorrow. I did do BOTH Pat's and Geno's...two checks on the bucket list. I know...people say they aren't the best, but I got to do 'em once. I'll look up Monk's and see if it's doable...thanks for the tip! Now, as soon as the son is done swimming, off to the hotel bar to see what's on tap. Irritated there's no hot tub...they filled it in and put stupid PLANTS in it! Aaaargh!

Something special for my 500th unique on Untappd. First time a proprietors beer has been in this glass. :D Oh yeah, this beer is pretty phenomenal.

Don't drink saisons too much but Evil Twins Ryan and the Beaster Bunny is pretty dang good, especially the aroma. Has this really nice honey lemon pepper thing about it.
 
Just did my 1000th rating on this one. Its better than I thought it would be. Not as bad as the peanut butter banana, but maybe equal or better than the maple bacon. Probably wouldn't get this again but would maybe try the maple bacon one, one more time possibly(if it was cheaper). They are not worth their price and I think they should be bigger abv for their style too. I don't know this one is not as watery and like cream soda like the maple bacon one was though, its kinda like a extract flavored somewhat sweet brown ale that isn't too watery for 5.4%. Extract aroma/flavor is a bit cloying but you do get/find most of its intended flavors except the pretzel. Meh, extract flavor. You start picking up on that more but more in a muddled extract weird fake taste later. Since its just 5.4% I think Ill finish it but Im not really that thrilled about it, I just am because its not the same as what I have left in my beer fridge. And its decent for a cold weather beer in a lighter kind of dark ale way. Not worth more than 8 bucks IMO.

Second pour.

Edit: This is even better as it has warmed a bit.

Not yet! All day in Philly tomorrow, then heading west. Should be making some brewery stops Tuesday...at least one...then maybe a bottle shop or good store.

Having a Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale right now. Meh. No urge to bring any of this one home.

Try to get the Yards Pugelist(I think). A great American example of a mild ale.

Glad you are enjoying the real ales

Going to have a real ale now. It's dark and rainy here so this seems fitting

Hits Houston tomorrow! Should be pretty wide spread I'd imagine. I'll probably try to pick up a 4 pack of it and a bomber of SA Berliner.

Probably my only beer tonight. Taking it easy. I still think Blind Pig is a WAY better beer. At least for my preference. Still damn good though.

I've never had Blind Pig, but I will say Pliny was very underwhelming. And factoring in the ridiculous hype surrounding it, it was extremely underwhelming.

Bought a couple of six packs of the go to and think its a wonderful session beer. Always cool bottles to home brew with too

Thats pretty much how I feel. And to totally honest, with all the amazing IPA's that have come out in the last 1-2 years, I feel Pliny is just blending in with all of them. Its SO overhyped, and not really sure how its still in the top 3.

Like I said, to ME, Blind Pig is better. Doesn't mean it has to be for everyone. The hop aroma and flavor in the Pig was SO much brighter, fresher, and more of what I was looking for. The Pig was bottled 4 days ago, and the Pliny was bottled 1.5 weeks ago. So both are super fresh. Just prefer the Pig over the Pliny. If you want one of each in a trade to try them again we could probably work something out :)

The hotel bar is overpriced and only had the pale ale and an English style called Brawler. It adds up at $6.50 per beer. Two was enough for tonight.
