Happy hour catch-up with a buddy:

La Fin du Monde
Aventinus
Ommegand 3 Philosophers

I really enjoyed a Behlaven Black Stout from Scotland tonight.

At Miami Atty's last night:

Destihl Brewery Counter Clockweisse Sour Beer - not my thing at all. Yuck.

Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio
Cantillon Gueuze
Both a little too funky for me, especially the 100% Lambic Bio.

Left Field Brewery - Maris

Casco Bay Riptide Red Ale (Maine)

The best red ale I've ever had. Many are too malty and have a dull finish. This one is rich and complex, not too malty, with a bright, almost citrusy, finish. Highly recommended.

Founder's Breakfast Stout

Rich and full bodied, but with an exceptionally smooth finish with almost no bitterness commonly found with this style. A top notch stout.

Two Brothers Outlaw IPA

Some very sessionable beers in NYC

Brooklyn Beer Pilsner - 5.1% ABV
Bronx Beer American Pale Ale - 6.1% ABV, 50 IBUs
Lionshead Pilsner - 4.5% ABV
Six Point Sweet Ale - 5.3% ABV, 35 IBUs

Liked the Bronx and the Lionshead the best.

A selection of local beers from TwoDeep Brewing. Good stuff, definitely in the top quarter of local brews.

You sure they weren't saying monkey-dick?

Anheuser Busch just bought another microbrew company, Four Peaks in Arizona. Four Peaks has some good beers, including Kilt Lifter which is popular in the area. They also have several restaurants.

Bale Breaker High Camp Winter Ale
The Lost Abbey Merry Taj IPA
Both very nice.

Petrus Aged Pale - Belgium

Ballast Point Calm Before The Storm. A cream ale brewed with coffee and vanilla.

Maui Brewing Company Doppelshot Doublebock - this could also be posted in the coffee thread. If you like coffee, this is the beer for you. I don't.

Beau's Saison

Magic Hat #9

Redankulous Imperial Red Ale.

Schlafly pumpkin ale

2 x Northwind Imperial Stout

Saturday night:
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout Proprietor's - I'm a big fan of this
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout Rare - this didn't do much for me; too much bourbon flavor and not enough beer
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout Coffee - pretty coffee forward this year
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout Regal Rye - I couldn't figure this one out, perhaps it needs some time to get straightened out.

I may have had a 2014 regular BCBS as well, but considering all of the above (including multiple servings of Prop), the end of the night was really hazy.

Yesterday:
Pipeworks Ninja vs. Unicorn - this never seems to disappoint me
Goose Island Sofie - could only drink about half of it before realizing I was too hungover from the night before

2015 Goose Island, Bourbon County Stout
2015 Goose Island, Festivity Ale
2015 Dog Fish Head, Higher Math... ?
2013 Full Sail, Imperial Stout Bourbon Barrel Aged
2015 Clown Shoes; Undead Party Crasher american imperial stout (previously Vampire Slayer)
