Go with your first instinct- I think that's a good plan.

Drinking Oerbier…

I'm fairly certain this is one of Belgium's best offerings, and breweries. Most fun part of their beers is that they all share a common smell and taste... You can àlways tell it's a Dolle beer...
It took me years to figure this one out, but in the last month or so, I've drank it twice (one Feb 2014 bottle which already showed remarkable evo), and it's finally all come together...
If you find this beer somewhere, buy it, try it, take your time...

My favorite beer east of the Mississippi River has got to be Yuengling lager. I grew up in PA and it is the oldest brewery in America. Nothing like watching the Steelers drinking one of those. West of the Mississippi has to be Fat Tire. Absolutely love this too.

As the weather has cooled, my purchases have transitioned to more appropriate brews. This week I picked up some Scotty Karate from Dark Horse, Storm King from Victory, a couple bottles of Delirium Tremens, and a Hemp Rye from The Hideout. The latter is a newer brewer out of Grand Rapids Mi that seems to delve into the experimental a bit, but is earning a decent rep around here pretty quickly. Scotty and the King are good as always, while I am anxious to try the Delirium.

It will be bitterly cold here until at least February, plenty of time to enjoy dark and heavies. Though I do enjoy my share of bigger brews year round
Yup. But all the badass xmas ales come in December.
Agree about heavy abv all year, strong saisons, trippels and barley wins for summer nights.

A friend of Julie's was having a surprise birthday party, so we went to Austin for almost 24 hours. I managed to work in some beer purchasing, despite the best efforts of Chase Bank. Here's what I picked up.

Jester King Provenance (Orange & Grapefruit)I think I may be developing an acquisition problem. I'm not drinking as fast as I'm buying…

I didn't know it, but Julie's friend lives about 10 minutes from the brewery. We stopped in after the party, just so I could buy a few bottles. I'd like to go back and actually look around, drink something on draft, maybe relax a while and get a pizza from the place next door. No telling when we'll be back in Austin, though.
And yeah, I'm excited about my two bottles of Fen Tao…

If you ever get the chance to make it back into town let me know, I'd love to join!
It's really a great way to spend the day, Texas hill country and tons of great beer. And the pizza at Stanley's is pretty good too. My girlfriend always scoffs at going because every time I have a weekend off that's how I want to spend it!
