      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.

                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.

                          Holy shit. A bunch of us celebrated my friend's recently completed hike from Mexico to Canada tonight. We most certainly didn't hold back. Lou Pepe Kriek is my all time favorite non-grape fruited beer.

                              Shared this '15 Goose Island Bourbon County with my hombrew/hard cider buddy.  14.3 abv and the most effervescent, then intense flavours.  A real treat to end a nasty weather week…

                                    This is comfortably the most expensive bottle of beer I have ever bought. €53 for 650ml [emoji15]. It can’t possibly be worth the money…

                                      Anxious to hear what you think of it. You’re paying a premium for the 3 years it spent in the barrel. Wish they told you what bourbon was in the barrel. When bourbon is aging in a barrel a certain amount will evaporate,which is called “The Angels Share” I’d be curious to know if that happened with this beer as well.

                                        Speaking from experience, it certainly did!  Depending on the quality of the barrel and the time spent in barrel, the evaporation can be anywhere from just a bit to multiple gallons…

                                        I’d definitely interested in trying that.  Keeping something in spirit barrels for that long is a risky move, but done right I could be really tasty!

                                          I'd cellar that bottle another three years… Probably a hot boozy mess rn...

                                            I tried it when it was released here in September 2016 (one mouthful and I had to spit, it’s a long story and not what it sounds like [emoji1]) and bought it then. So it was cellared at my place for over a year, when I opened it yesterday.  It was much oakier when it was young with a harsh whisky bite. After a year the boozy heat was much rounder and longer in the mouth and the oakiness has dissipated somewhat. Otherwise there’s a touch of funk and the sort of vinous sweetness you associate with Barley Wine which contrasted beautifully with the whisky.It was great, without a doubt. The problem was it wasn’t quite as complex as you might think and ended up seeming like a bit of a one trick pony. Probably better shared or realeased in 330ml.
