Leaving work in a half-hour for a weekend in Breckenridge suckers!
Should be at the Brewery around 4:00 PM MST. Will spend the weekend cuddling Breckenridge 471 small batch bombers.....and maybe my wife if she's lucky.

About fucking time.

You should've bought a few, and then opened them as the years go by. It will be excellent now, but probably even better in a few more years.

At least this one won't go bad as quickly as half the other shit rotting on the shelves

If any one is coming out to Denver in October for the GABF, let me know. I am in Denver and know the area pretty well. You can stay at my house for free if you wanna be a DD, hehehehe.

i dig the new selection at the draft house

had a few carolina summer wheats last night, great summer beer

8/3/2007 12:20:46 AM

I got some DFH Festina Peche. Not horrible, but not worth 8.99 for 4.

8/23/2007 10:11:29 PM

^^has become one of my favorite summer beers.

^if you in to sour beers as i am, i think its pretty good. the sourness is just right for easy drinking. i wish my homebrew sour ale had gotten that sour.


i cant wait to try my mikkeller beer geek breakfast and jolly pumpkin luciernaga.

has anyone seen struise pannepot around anywhere? im looking for a bottle or two.

8/24/2007 11:00:41 AM

^Pannepot was at Sam's like 2 weeks ago, but when I went earlier this week I didn't see any...sucks because that stuff is fucking awesome

8/24/2007 5:25:45 PM

i know... i didnt make it out there fast enough.

8/24/2007 7:14:33 PM

drinking some Inversion IPA from Deschuttes, a brewery from Bend, OR. It's pretty good - a very malty nose that bothered me a bit, and it's very amber in hue for an IPA, IMO.

But the taste is all there. and 6.8% ABV. Do you NC guys get Deschuttes?

8/24/2007 9:36:39 PM

had a couple of pints of avery's maharajah last night and then a 22 of ballast point's dorado

nice and hoppy

then i had a glass or two of firehouse pale off the keg at a party -- terrible! do not recommend

8/25/2007 1:29:04 PM

debating whether to drink of my last 3 wee heavys from last year's batch. I had one 2 weeks ago, and it was fabulous.

8/26/2007 2:26:30 PM

Drinking one of my Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porters that I saved from last year.

Amazing stuff. I can't wait for the fall.

8/26/2007 8:38:44 PM

didnt really go beer searching in chicago this past week but had the following on tap...

goose island - imperial brown goose
goose island - matilda
goose island - harvest ale
goose island - honkers ale
three floyds - gumball head
three floyds - pride and joy (cask)
three floyds - behemoth blonde

8/26/2007 9:08:15 PM

I devote my 392nd post to

Carolina Brewing Company

Old 392 Barleywine Style Ale

second encore y'all

8/28/2007 6:03:32 PM

CBC Oktoberfest is on the loose

still loving the 12th Anniversary imperial pilsener

9/11/2007 12:43:49 AM

had the lucifer golden ale this past weekend.. Like duvel, but not as metallic.. I'd say it's better balanced and smoother than duvel

9/11/2007 4:17:45 PM

i'll be in portland this weekend

i wonder if they have any good craft beer there...


(save your posts, i'm being sarcastic)

9/11/2007 7:28:43 PM

battlefield black last night at the flying saucer

9/11/2007 8:25:19 PM

There's more Pannepot and Victory V-12 at Sam's for any Quad fans out there

9/11/2007 9:10:25 PM

mmmmmm oskar blues gordon. very tasty.


i cant wait to try my struise pannepot.

9/13/2007 9:19:16 PM

i heart my asheville beer.

higland gaelic ale

9/13/2007 9:31:45 PM

The OB Gordon's is too $$$ for my blood, but that is good stuff. I ate at Oskar Blues about 2 months ago and had the tenfiddy. Got a Left Hand 12 pack mixer as a thank you gift today, woot free stickers too.

9/25/2007 3:33:55 PM

Where is the closest I can get Stone and Russian River brews? I know I can order them, but that's a pain and kinda expensive.

9/25/2007 6:43:19 PM

stone in va

rr in pa i think

9/25/2007 6:48:43 PM

i am pretty sure that russian river is in No Va. i bought a rr damnation at norms in vienna.

9/25/2007 11:41:33 PM

well, I'm in san diego for the week of thanksgiving to visit my little brother, and I made it out to Stone Brewing in Escondido, and then went to Pizza Port for dinner.

I would highly recommend dropping in at Stone if you're ever in the area. they have an amazing facility - honestly the best brewery I've ever seen, and a ton of beers on tap in their taproom. The tour was nothing to write home about, but they did do a nice tasting at the end, which included Oaked Arrogant Bastard. I was disappointed that I couldn't get older bottles of the Vertical Epic series.

Pizza Port - great pizza, and I really liked the Swammi (?) IPA I tried, but that was the only one I had room for. It had been a long day of drinking at that point

11/24/2007 1:02:05 AM

^lucky bastard

i got a nice haul of fairly rare beers recently

mikkeller beer geek breakfast
mikkeller black hole
mikkeller big worse barleywine
mikkeller stateside ipa
mikkeller santas little helper
Ølfabrikken 100 gram IPA
malheur brut noir

im excited to try them.

11/24/2007 10:57:20 PM

Just picked up a Deschutes Brewery "The Abyss". It's currently the #7 beer in the world on the BeerAdvocate charts.

Will update when I try it...

1/23/2008 4:34:17 PM

Where did you get that?

1/23/2008 4:45:47 PM

^Not in North Carolina that's for sure

Anyways, I just picked up a sixer of Bell's Hopslam at Peace Street...should be delicious. If we win tonight I may have to break out a Stone Double Bastard or Southern Tier Choklat fresh from my trip up to PA

1/23/2008 5:11:19 PM

how much was that hopslam?

definitely picking some up

1/23/2008 5:43:19 PM

^$11.99 which is pretty reasonable (after seeing Ruination for $15.79 over the weekend)

1/23/2008 5:46:06 PM

oh god, that sounds good


i had some breckenridge bourbon vanilla porter over the weekend. it did deliver on the bourbon vanilla taste.

1/23/2008 8:16:38 PM

yeah. the vanilla porter is def. a good drink.

1/24/2008 8:59:18 AM

So I just found out that I have to go back to Brussels next month for a security conference and want to hit up the Delirium Cafe (http://www.deliriumcafe.be/) again since they have over 2000 beers available. With such a wide selection and not being a beer sophisticate, what are some must-have beers that I should try?

1/24/2008 9:47:16 AM

I think they sell the Westvleteren lineup at Delerium...should be a good start
