First round of a tasting at my local bar, not pictured the BB9K was just opened as I was taking this. Finally found a suitable size for Barrelworks bottles.

Austin strawberry-beer tasting. I personally liked the strawberry rhubarb best for greatest flavor as always, and CC strawberry lager was a surprise treat. O&P was my favorite strawberry sour but rhythm rug was some others' favorite. Cask Strawberry b3 tasted better than b1. I French pressed 4 strawberries into 2015 BCBS for 2 days and that was awesome as well.

Went to a Cycle stout share last week and had a great time. We opened 18 different bottles and then did cooooovies with the remaining beer.

****** lighting = ****** picture

Coooovie

Favourite bottles included DBR, Hazelnut, Nooner 8, Thursday, and &+

Pretty sure we were only missing the BA stout crowler from a few months ago, one or two of the Nooners, and DCB from the past few years. Excellent night with Rjdillman Bellsfounder Brewski Matthouse3 noslenwerd jon2dubs @dannyfayy

How did the DHVL 20th stand up?

Took a couple pictures from a tasting a couple weeks ago and completely forgot to post them,

Plenty of other stuff was drank that night but I got too lazy to take more pictures.

Oh well

So could you tell the difference?

Split a BiaB tasting pack with Sam Fu lumpyhead1221 blazay and a couple others. Supplemented with some other gueuze and some stouts to close the night. Great times were had. It was Sam's last night in Raleigh - we'll miss you, homie! (Protip, when you're in Asheville at tasty beverage, ask for Sam and see if they have any hopslam or KBS)

If y'all see another box like that, I highly recommend getting a group like this and doing it - trumps any $80 I've ever spent on a beer fest, and it's not close. 16 amazing gueuzes is a hard night to beat.

Fresh golden blend, cuvée Rene special blend, and 2012 boon marriage parfait were my highlights.

As was Sam Fu:

Small share with IllbeBOCK over the weekend

Gueuze tasting, with a couple American attempts thrown in as well. Did This tasting blind Saturday night with 4 other guys (and 2 wives masterfully handling the demanding blind pouring duties and enjoying some pours as well). Got a little silly by the end, and palates were def. ruined. Tilquin 11/12 edged out a 3 year old 3F OG for the win.

Complete results with comments here, if anyone is interested:

Small tasting in Harrisburg with LHSsoccer13 and sj3324 and Mipper. Not pictured: Shilkmake/Milkshake IPA (Strawberry) as a night cap.

Coconut Resolute was the undisputed winner tonight. Unbelievable beer. Rose was 2010 and MvB was Blend #1.

What did you think of Le Bretteur? I liked it when I had it at FoBAB a few years back, but was pretty shocked when it won Best in Show.

highlights? also thoughts on the flora

Drank some beers with rcubed and Banker last night

Thanks for sharing!

Highlights for me were the Zomer (duh) Flora and ***** cuvee. Thoughts on the Flora Cuvee? Like B5 and B6 made sweet sweet love and B5's genetics won. Flora Cherry was interesting, not sure if it was palate fatigue or just being after the others but it has an odd medicinal taste to me, still very good but sharp cherry, not tart or sweet, sharp i guess is the best descriptor my layman ass can come up with.

Invited a mate over to eat chili and drink lambic... we ended up ticking a few more bottles than planned.

Small bottles are from Stockade brewing here in Aus. Standard fare, except the gose which I thought was exceptional.

Murray's Anniv was 2010 and delicious. Gilloise 2012 and spectacular. The Hoptimum was also from 2012 - I can't remember why I held on to it. Aroma was faded to caramel, taste was surprisingly bitter, clean and pretty fresh tasting still. If I didn't know what it was I would've figured it was a decent IPA that was 6 months old or so. After four years, it was pretty impressive.

I forget what that Struise was like on the end. My palate was ****** by that point

Small little tasting after the bar last night with MarkIntihar and lurchingbeast.

The Purple was fantastic and one of the best beers I've had yet from degardebrewing.

What did you think of Le Bretteur? I liked it when I had it at FoBAB a few years back, but was pretty shocked when it won Best in Show.

Hard to believe it is a sour/wild ale. While tasty it was way more soft and I would've guessed it to be a saison. Not a knock per se but it just wasn't what I think of when I think of a wild ale.
