What's your favorite Beer?

[neph93]

First for the evening. Have to admit to missing the Acorn… but it was super tasty and I did enjoy the can art.

@neph93 … You're killing me with all of those beautiful barleywines, R. Last year, I came across several. This year, no such luck. Shit had better change...

Starting the evening with a TIPA, or in this case a 12% QIPA, always seems like an idea that is simultaneously amazing and awful…

@neph93 Wow, that looks muddy. Hop burn galore, I assume?

I'm having a few locals from the island. They have a fifth brewery now, this one being only slightly above home brewing level with 200L. This one is interesting, using local sea buckthorn for a fruited Farmhouse Ale.

[tody]

Aaaand another one.

[neph93]

I’ve had a sea buckthorn saison before. Looked not unlike that bottle but this was three or four years ago. Tawny Porter sounds and looks delicious.

Porter here too. They nailed this one… very well balanced with the sweetness at the front, and then the booze, followed by the coffee and the lactose right at the end. I’m impressed.

It's that time, again…..

@scooter my favorite BA stout. Haven’t tried this years, but that will change soon. I prefer the base over all the adjunct versions.

Nope. Drowning my sorrows, for what is likely to be another Packers loss. At least, they're going down swinging.

I like to stick with the original, as well. This year's is a touch boozier than I've had before. Still, very good, though…

Followed up with a local pastry…..

[Jett129]

13% ABV,That’ll put your sorrows to sleep. Also prefer the basic Goose Island,will be keeping my eyes open for it.

Cheers, girls and boys and all those in between or elsewhere.

So many people I love and respect have started the 12 steps or some other version recently ( @Seul  yes you [emoji123]), I’m starting to think it might be my time too. But not today.
