Kees Project 17.5 Brandy BA barleywine. Excellent.

In Chicago for the weekend. Drank a bunch of Daisy cutter pale ale from Half Acre brewing in Chicago. Great hoppy pale with a low ABV.

@budpatch  I see you are at the Palmer House Hilton. It has the best lobby around. Stayed here many times.

Finally have something worthy of posting in this thread. With the help of the brewery my son was able to track down a bottle of the River Horse Craic,while I was away. A really delicious complex stout. Many layers of flavors coming through,with an entirely different kind of barrel taste,obviously,than a bourbon barrel stout. An amazing smell,wish there was more.

@twin you are correct, sir!  I do love the Palmer house lobby, great fresco work.

Stuff I shared with some good friends this weekend. I've learned my lesson on how quickly Grey Monday (and other weekday Bruery stuff) catches up to you, so I took a very small pour and gave a couple friends more than a reasonable serving. 

Particularly enjoyed Feral One this time around. That beer has a ton of subtle, tasty stuff going on. Too bad I had to split a 375 5 ways!

@Jett129  BA with coffee beans and vanilla is a winning combo. I really like the drier stouts too. Sounds delicious!

@cander49 - did you have the Grey Monday after all those sours?.. IPAs in between?..

[cander49]

@Seul, if we're sampling, we go in what we loosely consider least to most intense, flavor wise. All the IPAs I drink tend to be juicy and refreshing, so those usually comes first. Bruery weekdays are so intense that they blow most everything else out and usually have to go last. I once had some Bruery anniversary beer (usually quite intense) after something like Chocolate Rain or Black Tuesday, and it honestly tasted like water.

I always have a hard time drinking a stout after a sour… An IPA might be a good palate cleanser, as they say...

Either way: I don't really do samples/ tastings/ flights/ festivals/...

[Broark]

Had a pretty stupid day, hate my job, can't seem to find another one, etc., etc.
But, I found this at the store and it made it all better.
Bruery x Jester King Bouffon. Super damn tasty. If I've got half a brain I'll go back and buy two more bottles.

[cander49]

Sorry about the job, but glad to hear it on Bouffon! I've been looking forward to that when I can pick some up!

[Broark]

No worries, just gotta get on about it and find something new.
I'm definitely going to pick up another bottle, it was under $11 and totally worth it.
I still have a bottle of the original Bruery collab Imperial Cabinet, to this day might be my favorite beer of all time.

The porter wins.

A good Russian pilsner…Stiegl, in a traditional Stiegl glass after doing a heavy steam and sauna session at the Red Square Russian Bathhouse in Chicago.  Steam, Sauna, Vodka, Beer, and Varenyky...my kind of morning.

[Seul]

Now thàt's some fancy glasswear!..

Making pizza - quick beer…

Well damn  ???

at first glance I thought the bottle opener was a loaf of bread,, on second glance I see its something ….. different.

Beers with a few friends last night. Mikkeller Red Room, Cascade 2011 Elderberry, and Mikkeller Spontanyuzu. The 3rd is such an interesting beer. I've had it a few times, but the bright citrus punch always surprises me.
