What BEER are you drinking?

Stone Enjoy By 7.4.13 IPA

Amazingly fresh and balanced, but without relying on too much malt to provide that balance. It was just good use of fresh, fresh hops without straying into bitter-land.

Red Racer White Ale

Two Brothers Ebel's Weiss.

Excellent call on the Ninkasi Tricerahops, but it is not for the faint of heart as it is around 10% ABV.

Leffe Blond

Always good - especially in the warmer weather and with a wedge of lemon!

Rogue Chocolate Stout

One of my favorite change-ups. Solid stout.

Surly Coffee Bender Ale.

Three Floyds x Pig Destroyer Permanent Funeral

Pretty intense stuff...

- Ballast Point Tongue Buckler Imperial Red Ale

I'm really excited. At Pete's in Bellevue, I found a few 22s of Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB, in Portland) IPX Amarillo Single Hop ale. It's an IPA made with 100% Amarillo hops. They actually give a shout out to the guys from my hometown (the Gamache Family) who created the Amarillo variety, which I thought was pretty cool.

Goose Island Pepe Nero - Nero indeed, this was delicious.

2010 Rodenbach Vintage Oak Aged Ale
2009 Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait

1999 Jean Tardy et Fils Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots VV

Beautiful wine; needs 90 mins (at least) of air

Agreed, they make some good stuff. Visited the brewery/tasting room last month and everything we drank was awesome. They do some limited release stuff I'd love to get my hands on.

Curious to know what you think (I've had the standard Ruination, but an Enjoy By) compared to other Stone IPAs. A local place is getting a keg.

BRR, have you seen/tried anything from American Brewing out of Edmonds? I'd never seen or heard of it before, until an out-of-town friend emailed me about it.

I've only had it once, and it was the Breakaway IPA. I remember it being pretty good, not amazing, but it was quite awhile ago. I'll have to rectify that!

BTW, I heard that Ballast Point Brewing out of San Diego is finally being distributed in WA. So, I went to Whole Foods and, sure enough, ended up finding a sixer of the Sculpin IPA. Really, really excellent beer - top 10 IPA for me. The only downside: $14.99 per six. Ouch.

Last night Stella; FKG - Red Hook ESB

Aecht Schlenlerln Rueben Marzen - now I know I don't like smokebier

Very refreshing.

I'm so glad we finally have this producer in DFW.

Goose Island is now a national brand as it was purchased by ABI.
