      Just got back from Jester King, celebrated my birthday out there and had just a few beers…

      Jester King Bière de Blanc du Bois. Great American wild ale, super tart and strong grape flavors.

      Prairie 3rd Anniversary Ale. Fantastic raspberry saison. Glad I have another bottle of this in my fridge…

      Jester King Amicis Mortis, brewed in collaboration with Brasserie Dunham from Quebec. Farmhouse ale brewed with sweet potatoes, chilis and coconut. Sounds very strange but tastes very good.

      Jester King Vulgar Affectation. Saison brewed with lemon beebalm and horehound. Probably my favorite beer of the day. Delicious.

      Jester King El Cedro. Finished off with a classic. Can't go wrong.
      And of course I brought some things home too!

          Happy Birthday Eli! And many more to come! 🙂

          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
          Well, I have others.

              Have you had the Backwoods Bastard or any of these Dragons Milks?

              Haven't had the Backwoods Bastard, would love to try it  🙂

                The christmas beers have arrived! Most of them at least, another drop is probably due in a month or so. @neph93 have you tried Nøgne Ø Underlig Jul? Never tried anything from Nøgne, but thinking of grabbing a bottle when they release.

                    Hoping the 2015 version of Santa's Little Helper from Mikkeller is good as well. I've got a sweet spot for it, even though some people tend to hate on it.

                    Thanks @Seul - I'll just grab both..

                      I like both God Jul and Underlig Jul. Underlig is more intensely spiced. They're both worth a try.

                      Just to confuse things more, in my opinion the Special Holiday Ale is their best xmas brew. Sorry about that 😉

                        Ok, I can spare a couple and sort a few others to send you. Anything else in particular you've been looking for? A lot of what I have set aside is Dark Horse, Founders, New Holland, and other Michigan brews. I even have a couple Bells 30th Stouts still. Knowing your appreciation for big brews though, I think I could fill something out

                            Not sure what Founders I have that you can't get, but will look. Have you had the Breakfast Stout or Double Trouble?

                              Thanks @neph93 - I grabbed an Underlig Jul, simply because it was the only one they had in stock. Might try it tonight! But judging by the description, it might just be too christmasy for November haha..

                                Have a bottle of their imperial stout waiting outside… Couple of years old (past exp date)... Curious  😃

                                How hard is it to find Bells Black Note or Expedition stout in MI?..

                                  The Black Note I haven't seen in a while, the Expedition just dropped as did the Third Coast Old Ale (Barleywine). I am not a huge fan of Bells, but the Third Coast is good

                                    Past exp date, doesn't stop it from being brilliant.

                                        Very coffee forward, not much cocoa, and almost no whiskey. Not bad, but not what I expected

                                          I like Big Bag Baptist, haven't had it in a couple years now but I remember enjoying it.
                                          Drinking this right now, didn't last long in the fridge. Absolutely delicious…

                                            Seeing as how it costs 1€/ standard bottle here in Belgium for a saison Dupont, I'd wager to say it's the best Belgian beer price/ quality-wise…
