I would much rather roll with the Expedition stout which is apparently available on draft everywhere right now. Very good non barrel aged ris. But that's just me.

I guess the difference is we'll probably be able to just walk into a store and grab Expy for some time. But it is an awesome beer, indeed. Up there with Plead the 5th, Zhukov, Serpent's Stout, and a few others as my favorite non-BA imperial stouts.

Backyard was out by the time I got there ~7:30. But Barleywine and Coffee were still kicking, 2 per person. I grabbed those plus 2-hearted plus some other goodies.

 

[cosmicevan]

Clinton Hall is claiming they have the only kegs of La Boheme and Trixie. Looking at their prices on beermenus for their regular stuff, doesn't make me optimistic for pricing at this event.

1/6bbl - Rum Barrel Aged Marshal Zhukov
1/6bbl - Hopped on the High Seas
1/6bbl - Cubano Espresso

BT on Monday then haha

I mean, Torst's list is basically just as good. I love Cubano Espresso. But I've had it multiple times and have a bottle of Gates of Hell, so I'd prefer Blind Tiger's list personally, since I've had none of them.

 

[BeerWorld]

Am I meeting everyone at Blind Tiger then on Monday?

 

[jbuddle]

Am I meeting everyone at Blind Tiger then on Monday?

I'll probably still be at Torst It's hard to not go there when I ride directly by it every day.

 

[Bluecane]

Am I meeting everyone at Blind Tiger then on Monday?

I can't get there until after 6pm...hopefully there's still some stuff left then.
