Was close by, what the hell!!

Double Crooked Tree

Sapient Trip Ale

For anyone that's had their brew from a bottle, fresh draft is SOOOO much better! Had been way too long since I was here

Double Crooked Tree draft is magnificent.

[jdl1279]

That it is Mclain. The Sapient is quite astonishing on draft as well, the mild citrus and cloves come through much more.

Kind of a random rant, but related to this thread: wax seals on bottles look cool, but serve no purpose and are annoying as hell.

Note that I've got that out of the way, Deschutes Black Butte XXVI is very good.

[jdl1279]

Yeah they are pretty annoying. I thought it a bit novel on the first bottle of Shipwreck Porter I got a few years back. Now it's the one slight I have as it just makes a mess getting into one.

[mclaincausey]

I like em. The way Trinity does it it doesn't make a mess at all.

My neighborhood liquor store has always been great at wine and spirits but poor at beer. Now I'm happy to report their beer curation has turned around.  They had a small but well chosen number of superior beers from around the world.  Picked up more Crooked Stave, a French cider, Sammy Smith cider, Saison Dupont… And Stagg Jr bourbon and Rittenhouse rye. I think Stagg Jr is just a younger George T. Stagg, so I have high hopes there. An affordable version of my favorite bourbon.

Well, this is damn amazing. I could drink this every day.

And yes, those are some Iron Heart tags in the background.

@Chris:

Backed.

Broark: nice!.. Reminds me I have a bottle of this left in the fridge…

Almost sour season here, very excited!
Think I'm going to open my older bottle of Mirror Mirror tonight, been a long time coming…

[mclaincausey]

2013 edition of Verzet's Oud Bruin. Tart and acetic, vegetal and funky. Head and lacing effectively absent, still crisp carbonation. I think I'll get more.

PRE-VISIT TO GEERS EXCITEMENT…

THEY NOW STOCK A CALVADOS BARREL AGED VERSION OF THE ST BERNARDUS ABT 12, 11%.

Definitely picking up some extra bottles to cellar... 

They also posted this: Chimay now comes in 6l bottles… Maybe good for when Gav comes over...

We would die  :o (Happy  )

My brother bought two cases of Tap 7 and one of Tap 5 for his scratchjam and his barbeque. I taught him well.

[Seul]

I'd rate it about 3.7/ 5… Big fizzy coke-like head that disappears almost entirely, beautiful red hue, quad colour, good smell, medium bodied, bit boozy aftertaste... All in all I reckon aging it will help...

[Broark]

Stopped by one of the best shops in the city tonight, grabbed a few things.

Four pack of Prairie Limo Tint, two Wine Barrel Noirs, To Øl / Mikkeller Betelgeuze, and Founders 2015 Blushing Monk.

[Chris]

Curious to hear what you think of the Betelgueze.  I liked it, but didn't think it was worth buying again, since it was pretty damn expensive.
