        Meh - not a fan… Strong taste of red wine (BA), but that's about all...

            I must have this beer: http://jesterkingbrewery.com/introducing-jester-king-crooked-stave-trois-dames-cerveza-sin-frontera

            And this means I'll be out at Jester King this Saturday!

              Got that email, too.  One of these days I'm going to have to road trip it out to Austin and buy one of their limited release beers.  I wish they were open more than just Fri-Sun; that would make it a lot easier for me.

                If you ever do decide to make it up here let me know and I'll try to make it out there too!
                I often work weekends so it's lucky that I have this Saturday off, and they're limiting it to three bottle per person so I'll likely get three.

                  Tried this offering from Stone Brewery the other night and it was spicy as hell, way more than I imagined it would've been.  I now fully understand why it's named "Punishment."

                        Short's huma lupa licious IPA. Only sold in Michigan. 98 IBU, 7.7%. Shorts is a really great brewery with a lot of creative stuff. They recently won a michigan microbrewery bracket challenge (basically popularity contest where people vote on their favorite between two competitors, in the style of the NCAA basketball tournament). They faced off against Bells in the finals, and also knocked off Founders in the second round. To be fair I think founders would have ended up in the finals of they were in a different "region".

                        I also picked up a six pack of a black IPA called Bludgeon Yer Eye and a growler of Superfluid, a 100 IBU 9% double IPA.

                          I saw they won from Founders - pretty crazy. In the final they were 45-55 against Bells at one point. Has that contest ended?..

                              Yep, it ended this week and we came out on top.  Beat Founder's and Bell's, so pretty stoked on that.

                              @Quoise Glad you're enjoying our stuff.  Superfluid is one of my favorites that we've brewed recently!

                                Hey guys, lots of beer in the last few days!
                                Last night:

                                Vintage Nun from local Austin brewery Adelbert's.
                                Pretty nice, smooth witbier. I'm not usually the biggest fan of what Adelbert's does but this one was good.
                                Then today we made it out to Jester King.

                                Cerversa La Frontera, new collaboration with Crooked Stave and Brasserie Trois Dames.
                                Farmhouse ale fermented in sherry barrels, absolutely loved this one. The idea behind the collaboration was that the three brewery were to use the same ingredients and see how each beer adapts in each respective location.

                                Reposé, farmhouse ale brewed with hay and aged in brandy barrels.

                                Hibernal Dichotomous, farmhouse ale brewed with beets, oranges and thyme.

                                Saison d'Erpe Mere from Brouwerji De Glazen Toren. One of our overall favorites of the day!

                                Persimmon Ship from Jolly Pumpkin, saison brewed with persimmons and dragonfruit.
                                And of course I brought a few more bottles home.
                                Brought back a bottle of both Cerveza Sin Frontera and Hibernal Dichotomous along with Equipoise (farmhouse brewed with ginger salt, tarragon and fermented with cantaloupe in a MASSIVE bottle) and a bottle of Bible Belt from Prairie and Evil Twin.

                                  Drinking a Dark Penance and loving it! Nice dark and quite bitter. Funny how man IPAs I'm enjoying of late considering how long it took to find one I liked.

                                    Yep - that's a solid saison!.. Have a bottle here, might "need" to open it this afternoon…

                                      I think that this one was actually my girlfriend's favorite of the day, still working on finding beers that she likes.
                                      I found it very good as well, would definitely buy a bottle if I managed to find some around here.

                                          Thanks for the recommendations, I've been on the lookout for beers from Brasserie Fantôme.
                                          Still expanding my Belgian beer taste, I just seem to always get sidetracked with all the American ones.

                                            Well, with a US based brewery such as Hill Farmstead, I'd figure you not needing any Belgian saisons  🙂

                                            Oh: and I'll trade Fantôme for HF, btw…
