and bring me some.

Pipeworks Lizard King

Mozaic hop pale ale. Just great stuff. Another winner from pipeworks.

Over the weekend:
Lagunitas Born Yesterday
3 Floyds Zombie Dust
Goose Island Proprietor's Bourbon County Brand Stout (2014)
Russian River Pliny the Elder
Surly Abrasive

Ten Whiskers Ipa.

Karl Strauss Peanut Butter Cup Porter. Fantastic beer. I am glad they did not create a 12% alcohol imperial stout for this peanut butter cup beer. It is a low under 6% abv porter and way better than Belching Beaver's Peanut Butter Stout. No disrespect to Belching Beaver though. I like them also. You definitely need to try this seasonal beer from Karl Strauss.

Amsterdam Autumn Hop

Pretty good... not outstanding but certainly enjoyable.

I feel your pain. I've all but taken to following the 3F truck around Indy each Wednesday to score a sixer.

3 left plus some other goodies...

3 Floyds: Space Station Middle Finger.

Sierra Nevada snow wit
Alpine McIlhenney's Irish Red
Also topped up a growler of Black Marlin from Ballast Point

New micro-brewery very close to where I live here in Ottawa: Tooth and Nail Brewery. I tried two of their beers last night:

Sustenance (Belgian Autumn Ale)
Tenacity (Pale Ale)

Both very good.

Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan Brown Ale.

Found some 2015 Goose Island Bourbon County; looking forward to trying soon.

Seems in abundance around here this year. It's available in some places that never had it before.

Newcastle Black Ale

Scorched Earth Base Jumper.

Firestone Parabajava
Firestone Luponic Destruction IPA

Tonight:

New Glarus Spotted Cow
Bell's 30th Anniversary Imperial Stout
Prairie Artisan Ales Vanilla Noir Stout

I'd love to get a taste of some of that. Too bad they didn't produce enough for distribution. I wasn't the biggest fan of Parabola, but think the coffee presence would make me like it more.

Love this stuff!

Tonight:

- Russian River Damnation (A tad more cloying than I remember, but pretty good. I still like Matilda better.)

Left Field Brewery Hibiscus Sour Ale

I had a friend that drove up to Wisconsin, and he brought me a nice stash of New Glarus beers including Spotted Cow.

Two Brothers Sidekick Extra Pale Ale.

It is one of their more "ordinary" offerings. And it still blew away all 8 beers in the flight I had at Granite City with lunch earlier today.

Interesting. This brewery is a few miles from my house, but this is first time I've seen someone from outside the local area mention it. The Base Jumper is an IPA, so it's not my cup of tea, but almost all of their beers have been excellent in my opinion.

Enjoyed a growler of Chattanooga Brewing Chickbock & Reformation Declaration Imperial Stout while watching the Browns find, yet another way to lose a game.

Rogue Brutal IPA

Was at Belmont Station in Portland, OR today, drinking craft brews with the local, bearded hipsters.
They boast over 3,000 beers in their adjacent shop. Sadly, I didn't have time to try them all.

Barley Brown's Sled Wreck Winter Warmer
Breakside Wanderlust IPA
Laurelwood Vinter Varmer

Quitter

Earlier this week:
Lawson's Sip of Sunshine
Lawson's Super Session #2

Both good, but not crazy good or anything. I thought the SoS had a bit too much of a green taste for my liking, but did like a lot of the juiciness that was with it.

Today at lunch:
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout Proprietor's 2015 - very good. I'd heard it was overly sweet, and it was definitely sweet, but I liked the balance between that and the heat. Still hoping to score a bottle (or two) of this.

I had it after 2 glasses of wine and wish I didn't, and also wish I bought more than 2 bottles after tasting one of them. I first tasted it a few years ago at a release event from a single barrel and it was a bitter coffee bomb (no bourbon flavor or Parabola resemblance, only overly strong tannic coffee). I can say it's blended and smoothed out very well. Amazing beer. People are trading them on the beer websites and in Facebook groups.

Bottle Logic Bourbon Pumpkin Ale - Easily the best pumpkin ale I've tried to date.

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout - considering all of the bottles I've been chasing down and accumulating over the past week, I figured I might as well open on up. Very nice to have plenty of these in my cellar.

Not Your Father's Ginger Ale

Tastes exactly like ginger beer. Very sweet. Don't think I need to have this again. I'd rather just buy ginger beer and Goslings and make a Dark and Stormy

Made a run to Tree House, came back with King Julius, Julius and Green. KJ might be one of the better beers I've had.

While watching the MSU game Saturday night:
Lawson's Super Session #2
Lawson's Sip of Sunshine
Maine Beer Co. Lunch
Tree House Lights On

I think I liked the Lunch the best, which is interesting because I had it on tap a few months back and did not care for it at all.

Bell's Amber beer. Was pretty good, but it seemed to have a bit of a hoppy taste for an amber beer.

Left Hand Brewing Milk Stout.

Sam Adams Utopias. I suppose technically it's a beer but it's more like a tawny port, but not a tawny port. Very good and very different for sure.
