Last night I went to a pub that had some nice beers on tap, so I sampled a few. My list:

Sam Adams Noble Pils (before I left the house)
Dogfish Head Special Release
Harpoon IPA
St. Bernardus Abt 12 ($15/glass but SO damn good...)

Ack....I count my lucky stars that I can get a 22oz. bomber for 10 bucks here...or a 12 oz. draft pour for 9.....


Tonight has accounted for:
Glass of Duck Pond Pinot Gris (My dad came over for dinner...shaddup.)
Laughing Dog Alpha Dog IIPA (Good. Not great.)
Trader Joe's 2010 Vintage Ale (Pretty damn good for a beer w/ spices and junk)

Had a Firestone Double Jack last night. It was pretty good but I still don't have a taste for IPAs I guess, I would have preferred a stout or a Belgian of some sort.

Picked up a 2011 Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Barleywine (ok, 2 4-packs). Now the only problem is having the patience to not drink them for the next couple years... Maybe breaking out a 2010 vintage might hold me over?

Bourbon Barrel Barleywine sounds like a win of epic proportions.

Yeah, I took it in the pooper with that one. FYI, don't start a tab when there are expensive beers on tap...

We've got a place out here called Brouwer's...60-ish quality taps (about a quarter are Belgians) then probably close to 300 different beers in bottles...and quite a scotch selection to boot w/ good food.

We usually start pub crawls there (and leave a large part of our fundage)...

Having another Rothaus Pils while I get stuck into brewing my next batch of IPA. :)
Only an extract brew but hey we all have to start somewhere..... Ive got a new 60L stainless steel fermenter arriving hopefully this weekend. :D

Going to go harder on the hops this time, Super Alpha (12.7%) and 100grm Riwaka (5.9%) dry hoping in the fermenter just to see what happens. :thumb:

Should i go 100grm on the Super A as well? What'd ya think?

Having another Rogue Chocolate Stout, I think this is becoming my go-to beer.

Nice! I'm a Rogue fan. I just found out the local Publix Liquor is privately owned by some beer enthusiasts. The gal who was there (that I assume is owner/part owner) gave me some solid recommendations. Next time I'm in there I'll be getting a 6'er of Rogue Mocha Porter. Apparently it's the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the... It's good from what I here.

My bro-in-law got a sweet conical fermenter for his brother a couple years ago. The increase in quality of production was marked.

Oh yeah... :drool: Central Waters is one of my favorite breweries out here, and their limited releases are phenomenal (Bourbon Barrel Barleywine, Bourbon Barrel Stout, Peruvian Morning, Illumination, etc). Plus, since they're not that famous, it's reasonably available.

Had a Peruvian Morning last night with the wife, and it was definitely a yummy, yummy imperial stout.

Crap. Thanks for trying though. Are they limited releases or is there a decent chance there'll be more soon?

Just had an Old Rasputin, starting to like it more. Might have another to get me through this Spanish paper.

more Oskar Blues Ten FIDY last night. Man that stuff is gooooooood. Almost syrup but 10.5% really does the trick.

Was going to take a pic but got too tossed and forgot. Here's one I found on the intrawebz.

SUCCESS!!!! Went back to my go-to grocery store and sure enough they had a decent amount of it in stock. PM me if you want to do a trade.
