Life and Limb #3 Rhizing Bines Dogfish+SN collab, delicious, seamless integration of hop bitterness and flavor

Enjoying a Brownstone by Sixpoint while the last laps of the Daytona 500 wind down.

Surly Coffee Bender from the 16oz can. Great coffee beer!

Great Lakes Alchemy Hour DIPA. Very nice.

Had Rivertown's Roebling Porter yesterday. Loved it! Though, I have yet to meet a porter that I didn't at least like.

Pipeworks Ninja vs. Unicorn DIPA. Very nice.

Tonight I'm drinking a Uinta 20th Birthday Suit, which is a sour brown ale. Very good, lots of malt to balance out the sour elements. Happy birthday Uinta Brewing, here's to a lot more than 20 more.

Pretty much swimming in Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Aged product over the past week or so. The Peruvian Morning is delicious; both 4 packs I bought last year were infected, so it's great to finally get to enjoy this coffee stout -- can't wait to try it up against some fresh Founders KBS next month. The Barleywine is drinking hotter than last year's did, but it's still great and destined to improve with age, I think. The single bottle of the Cherry Stout seemed better than last year's, especially as it warmed up and lost some of its tartness.

Now I need to find something to celebrate with a fresh 650ml bottle of Firestone Walker Sucaba BA barleywine....

I had a bomber of this last week. I was disappointed given all the hype. I have another in the fridge, so I'll wait to give a committed opinion until after I drink that, but first impression is mostly consistent with how I've felt about their other beers. I will say I liked it more than Ca$h 4 Golden and Unicorn Galaxy.

Maudite last night. Not too shabby. It was part of a Unibroue set I picked up at Costco. Looking forward to trying the other beers in the set.

Yeah, I wouldn't say it wowed me, but I enjoyed it. Have you tried 18th Street's Sinister DIPA yet? I just picked up a bomber.

Fuller's ESB on tap last night during the Bulleit love fest at the always fun Mac McGee's. Amazed at the huge crowd that turned out. Got too big for me eventually.

[Balcones Winston]

I'm at the Holy Grail pub in Plano having a Saint Arnold's Bishop's Barrel #2. It's supposedly their Xmas ale aged in ex Chardonnay barrels for 14 months with 40lbs of sour cherries per barrel.

This isn't a style I'd normally drink, but I do enjoy it. Bonus: free Saint Arnold/Texas Independence Day pint glass came with it. Woot!

Next up: Espresso Oak Aged Yeti on draft, noms! 9.5%

Fuller's ESB on tap? I'm green with envy. I haven't seen that on tap around here in many years.

Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA for me last night. I love virtually all the GL beers and this is the one that turned me on to the brewery in the first place. Still one of the finest American IPA's out there in my book.

I think that is what is was. A Fuller's something on tap and I am pretty sure it was the ESB. What ever it was it was good! The place was packed tight and super noisy so my memory is not too clear.

[tanstaafl2]

Yep Bruce, it was the ESB. I almost got one myself.

Hank, you need to make a trip to ATL, and we'll all head over to Mac McGee's. We'll buy, and introduce you to the Goat!

With the warm(ish) weather just around the corner, I continue to move back towards the pale ales and IPA's after a long winter of Scotch ales, porters and stouts. Last night I checked out Bear Republic's Racer 5 and was very pleased. I enjoyed the pronounced hop nose and firm, malty body. Can't believe I passed on this one for long.

18th Street Brewery Sinister DIPA. An okay DIPA. Not as much bitterness as I usually like.

[WAINWRIGHT]

Epic Santa Cruz Brown Ale last night,not at all what I was expecting quite nice.
