      Long overdue update, these are from the last few days.
      Jester King Vernal Dichotomous 2015.
      This one aged well, about a year on it. Nice mellow flavors.

      Prairie 3rd Anniversary.
      This one aged pretty well too, mellowed out the raspberries and made them more funky.

      The Bruery Melange 14.
      Have to say this one was way too sweet for me. I expect more bourbon and less sweetness.
      A bit disappointing considering the price.

      Jester King Estival Dichotomous 2015.
      Same thing as the older Vernal, mellowed out the flavors and made the melon a lot more enjoyable.

      512 Wild Bear.
      Fantastic sour brown ale, this is one of my favorite beers recently. Sneaks up on you at 8.5% with how smooth it is.

                    Damn, I'm so excited about beer shopping with you again tomorrow @Seul and seeing Brewmaster @emceeQ again on Sunday!  And I'm not even that fond of beer (sorry)  😞

                        Just picked up my 2016 Cantillon from my local shop  :D. Only two Fou Foune and two Lou Pepe :-X.

                          My buddy and I went out to Jester King for the SPON release, their first spontaneously brewed beer.
                          I'll preface it with the fact that we waited maybe about 2 and a half or 3 hours for the beer, crazy I know.
                          To give you an idea of how long the line really was, I'm up at the very top right of this photo (in the distance behind the car that is in the foreground), with about 175 people in front of me.

                          They had 4 different blends of the beer (which were each basically the same beer, but blended on different dates). Each person was able to get two bottles, whatever batch they wanted.
                          I went with 1 and 4, figured you'd get the biggest difference between the first and last blend.
                          I also had a pour of each different one, and they were are subtly different in their own way but not different enough for me to go out there and wait in line again for the other two.  😉
                          (My friend is wearing his IHSH-101TG in the background!)
                          And Olive enjoyed herself, even if the crowds scared her a bit.  😘

                              Thanks mm, she opted to be our designated driver yesterday.
                              She needs to stop chasing squirrels while behind the wheel though.

                                Had this last night. Super boozy Belgian red with a dry, oaky finish. Bloody great.

                                    Tonight I am going to a birthday party here in Belgium.  The host has told me that there are 6 special bottles of beer behind the bar for me, and me only.  The password to release each of these bottles is "English Drunkard" apparently….
