Bell's Brewery from Michigan, is another micro that's recently come to Hotlanta. I'm thoroughly enjoying their Porter tonight.

Bell's is good stuff. Their line of stouts is excellent.

Ommehang Abbey Ale - a nice Belgian abbey style ale

Lately I had:

Lees Harvest Ale 2004 - dessert beer, very good though. port like.
Ommegang Abbey Ale - a nice Belgian abbey style ale, notes at home
Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter - good brew, smoky, some bitterness (not as much as their stout) and a tinge of sweetness at end, coffee, earthy

After having it at Savor, we came home to find out that it was now available at home.

I took home a case of Session! Goes down like mothers milk, no glass required.

I hade 2 Rasputin Russian imperial stouts left. Both stored a little over a year. I did make a porter steak out of one and drank the other yesterday. It tasted awesome and seemed perfectly aged. Me and my lady partner will eat the steak on Friday.

Tonight, I had a few to many Lagunitas Correction Ales, and finished with an Allagash Confluence yet again. Confluence is awesome.

Was brewing yesterday for the first time in months and a buddy decided to break out some great beers.

First a brewed a single hop IPA (Cascades) part I of a V part series of single hopped beers. Split the 8gal batch to 2 fermenters and used WLP001 for 1 and WLP051 for the 2nd. be interesting to see how yeast affects an identical beer.

Then we drank:
Rochefort 10
Westy 8, then Westy 12
St. Bernardous Christmas, along with a 2yr old bottle of St. Berndarous 12
Lots of homebrew
World Wide Stout
Bell's expidition Stout
Bourbon County Stout
lil sumptin' sumptin'
Angel Share Bourbon and another of Brandy

and I think that's it, about 5 guys sharing samples.

Cool! Stone's IPA was featured (along with several other IPAs) in this month's Bon Appetit magazine. Checked your link to see if Stone is available in my area and I should be able to find it in NW FL. A coincidental thanks is in order.

BTW, here are the IPAs featured in the article:
AleSmith, San Diego
Brooklyn Brewery East India Pale Ale
Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Founders Centennial
Green Flash Brewing Co. West Coast
Lagunitas
Maui Brewing Big Swell
Port Brewing Wipeout
Russian River Blind Pig
Stone IPA
Surly Brewing Furious
Victory HopDevil

I couldn't find any of these near me over the weekend, but I didn't cross state lines. I did pick up Terrapin Rye Pale Ale (Athens, GA) and Harpoon IPA. I'm taking the above list with me next trip to Pensacola.
