Went to a brewery for a friends birthday this last weekend. Their beer was piss and I think I kno why.. just kidding but I thought the pisser and sink were photo worthy

Celebrated my brother Josh’s birthday tonight. We shared a lot of beers. Here are some photos I took before the battery died. Tree house for life. I like the quotes they print on the bottom of the cans.
The others I remember were Trillium Pow Pow with lupulin powder and New England brewing company coffee breath. Cheers

Oh, I do love Cascade beers. Portland, too, for that matter.

If you like the taste of bourbon whiskey like I do…. Alltech Lexington Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale is pretty GREAT. It's weird because it tastes like whiskey but has a smooth finish. The whiskey taste negates all the bitterness of the hops. Tasted like a weak boilermaker made with Fat Tire. But that doesn't do it justice because it is so smooth and tasted like Wild Turkey. The longer I drink it the more vanilla whiskey taste I get.
8.2 percent ABV, 19 IBU. I'd rate it a 10/10. I'd drink this every day if I could. This place sells 32 oz glasses of it and I am crushed!

Popped 2 of my better bottles this week in celebration of a new marathon PR for me and a successful marathon debut for my wife.
This was great, though I have another en route and won't open it for some time. The funk seems like it'll ne exceptional with age.
(relative's table cloth, not mine!)Speaking of age, popped one of these dusty twins from 2004. Unbelievably complex funk with notes of cheese, grassy hay, stone fruit, pepper, and green veggie, all without any oxidation whatsoever.
Finally, from 2 weeks ago, the best gueuze I've ever had, a Hanssens from 2010. Hanssens is so underrated that I got a stash of these at $20 a 750! Tasting wise, the funk was massive and dominated by blue cheese notes, which is probably my favorite note in a beer. Aftertaste was of apricots and yogurt. Insane. Really fun to drink with my wife and a friend alonfside a comparatively fresh 2016:
We're hosting a stout night in a few days, and it'll probably be a bit ridiculous.

If I could only drink beers with cheese funk for the rest of my life, I'd be super happy.

I'm right there with ya! I'm super jealous of the selection you were drinking…
Some more Cascade. This one has cherries and noyaux in it, and really shows how Cascade is just as much a fruit processor as a brewery. The noyaux is the nut inside the apricot pit, and is super labor intensive to get out. After the apricot is processed the pits have to be dried for an extended period of time before they can be carefully cracked open to get the tiny noyaux kernel inside. -
So what does the noyaux add? Is it similar to apricot?

Interesting. I'll have to cross my fingers and hope I can find a bottle…

One of my clients works at the taproom of our local brewery, and brought me this.
They have been getting pretty aggressive with their Sour selection and they keep getting better and better.
This was pretty solid - not on par with most of the larger craft breweries, but nice to enjoy a local beer that’s somewhat decent.
Incidentally, a party we were going to Saturday evening was right next door to the same brewery, so we stopped in and I got their new “Juicy IPA” - it was damn good.
