Your daughter is a lucky gal! How did you get your hands on that bottle?

I do alot of beer trading, #33 top traders on Ratebeer.com, with about 130ish beer trades...its a bad addiction! I like to taste stuff that I can't get my hands on around here, even got another Isabelle coming.

those are extremely insulting to beers all across the world

busy weekend ...

some good ol' standbys:
Sierra Nevada - Torpedo IPA
Drake's - 1500 Ale
Boddington's
Stone - IPA
Drie Fonteinen - Oude Gueuze

and one i've never tried before:
Dogfish Head - Chicory Stout (I thought this was very good ... the 5.2% alc. was pleasantly conservative for a stout).

Yesterday - Heinekens on an 80 foot Schooner -

Not my favorite brew in the world, but couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to drink them

Put Sam Adams winter lager on tap at work. Enjoyable.

Cooper’s - Sparkling Ale
Orval (never had this before ... will certainly have it again! )
Monk’s Flemish Sour Ale
Left Coast Brewing Co.’s “Hopjuice”
Sierra Nevada - Torpedo IPA
Paulaner - Hefeweizen
Boddingtons
Stone - IPA

Are you saying the game was not worth the $2000 for the four of us?

Oh, schit!! i hope you drank enough brewskies to help ease the pain ...

... and, "no," you were NOT drunk when you thought you saw Romo (repeatedly) turn 360 degress to turn 90 degrees to his left -- that was real.

Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer. Delicious.

Last one I drank was Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale.

Last one I bought (haven't tried yet) is Deschutes Winter Ale.

This is my all time favourite and would put it up against any beer.

Every year for the past 4 years I have bought some of their 60-90 day oaked aged (I am not sure how many days it is ) for aging.

dogfish head theobrama
120 minute ipa

what kind of brew is the "theobrama"? i assume that's a tasting room only brew...

theobrama

This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions.

damn! 9% abv!! and i know the 120 is no wimpy brew either ... and you got growler of each!?! that be alotta drinkin right there boy!

theobrama sounds unusally interesting ... is more sweet, spicy, or malty?

this will be my first theo experience!

it ain't cheap either, the growler was $28...

and after careful consideration, i think i'll only deal with the 120 tonight. i'll drink the theo with mareff and davids and gregt tomorrow while watching football.

hiccup...
