Trying to get through my last half-case of Hopslam.

[Ravensfire]

Had a Bells Two Hearted followed by a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot while watching hockey

I acquired a few as well and still see it on the shelf here and there. My only concern is it probably needs to be drunk sooner rather than later which is not always my strong suit.

Last night I found a DFH Midas Touch that had been hiding on a back shelf since mid 2012. A bit flat with none of the honey and spice I remember so I suspect it had long since past its peak.

Not neccesarily the case regarding Blushing Monk. We did the entire Backstage series on NYE. While not all held up, CBS was a disappointment, the original Blushing Monk held up really well. That led me to buy a few more than I would have with the '15 Blushing Monk release.

Sierra Nevada Amber Ale, last night. Tasty!

Weihenstephaner Korbinian last night. This beer reminded me that I need to pay more attention to the German beer section at the grocery store!

I love Weihenstephaner, but I haven't seen that one. Have you tried a dunkel from either Hofbrau or Hacker-Pschorr?

Monday night, I snuck a few Powerline Porters into Fast and Furious 7. I'm not a huge porter fan, but they hit the spot. Last night, I went with Galaxy Hero, which I was happy to see around again.

I haven't tried either of those yet, but I'll keep an eye out. Franziskaner also makes an excellent dunkel.

[MTNBourbon]

Ayinger makes some pretty tasty brew's also.

Cheers!

Hopslam out back enjoying the warm weather after a monster busy day.

[Special Reserve]

I had a Hopslam about a week go, I was stunned by how much it had deteriorated since January. The beer was kept cool and in the dark.

[Harry in WashDC]

Now that outdoor work is fun (i.e., no parkas, snow shovels, thick gloves, or wet feet), I'm tidying up the utility room by taking some odds and ends bottles of holiday collections outside with me. Today, it was a Brooklyn Brewery Pennant I discovered behind a box.

Bummer. Hopefully, better luck for you on the rest. This bottle was good and showed no degradation, though I don't quite get the hyper-love it gets. I mean, it's good, but...That said, I haven't noticed any change since I got into these a couple of months ago. I'll say, I kept one over from last year and had it just before this years showed up, and I thought it was nice, as well. Not as much pop, but tasty nonetheless.

Joe,

When it's fresh only days old it is really tart. As it ages it does lose it tart characteristics. Don't get me wrong it is still a very pleasureful drink. Just doesn't have that full bore hop flavor. I'm sure the remaining to bottles will be the same as the most recent one.

Good to know! How does the 2015 version of Blushing Monk stand up to the original? I never got a chance to try one of the original bottles.

Haven't contributed to this thread in awhile and here is one that may not be widely distributed but rocks it on a warm spring day! A collaboration between 3 Floyds and Sun King. Crisp and punchy Doppel.

[emr454]

Weyerbacher Merry Monks to start the afternoon.

[emr454]

Finishing the evening with a Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter. Unreal fresh hop aroma in this one.

[MTNBourbon]

Today a tasty lager.

[h=1]Wasatch Last One In Lager - Utah Brewers Cooperative[/h]

Cheers!

I do like Guinness, Deschutes Obsidian Stout & Black Butte Porter during the "winter". Michelob AmberBock is great after mowing the lawn or after a day of fishing and I keep Shiner Bock year round.

Otter Creek Brewing Co. Citra Mantra. This beer would be perfect if the weather was 30 degrees warmer outside.

[pellidon]

Dogfish head IPA and Flat 12 Walkabout IPA.
