Wow, where did you find that on tap???

I also enjoyed a couple Hopslams today, from bottle.

Had Ommegang Hennepin last night.

Lillie's Q on North in Bucktown- great BBQ by the way if you haven't been.

Tried going there once...they didn't have a highchair so we couldn't eat there. Went to Piece instead. Maybe I'll get to Lillie's one day without the kids

Elysian Savant IPA

2 x Petrus Winter Ale on tap. A reward to myself for sitting through 7 hours of REACH, RoHS and Conflict Minerals info.

NoDa Hop Drop 'n Roll
NoDa Midnight Madness
Mother Earth Sisters of the Moon IPA

I enjoyed the Midnight Madness the best.

They certainly aren't for everyone, and definitely not for warmer weather, IMO.

My other half is working Saturdays through tax time. I'm gonna have to hit you up for a mini beer offline soon!

Bell's Hop Slam. Scored a 6 pack and was at a bar that had it on tap last weekend.

Bell's Hopslam and Plead the 5th by Dark Horse

Just picked up a few Goose Island Bourbon County Stouts.

All these years and I didn't know you enjoyed beer.

st bernardus abt 12, and some 10-year-old Frog Morton in the pipe.

Modus Hoperandi IPA (Ska brewing out of Durango, CO): fantastic IPA with just the right amount of hops

Does Lady VM know that you sampled that?

Live Oak Primus Weizenbock - pub I was in last night had the last keg in Austin (supposedly) and I was glad they got me to sample it. Amazing spice and perfect for a cool evening on the patio.

Needed some more beer for the weekend, so picked up a case of Dos Equis Dark.

Right Brain Brewery Will Pow!er.

VM

Green Flash Palate Wrecker --didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me.

Three Floyds Dreadnaught - hadn't had this before, but I sure enjoyed it. Not a surprise given what I've thought of other Three Floyds beers.

Yeunling Lager

On tap yesterday at Hopleaf:

Leffe
Jolly Pumpkin Luciernaga
St. Bernardus 12

Then a bunch of Guiness in plastic cups at the Aragon Ballroom at $9 a pop.

The Lost Abbey "Carnevale", a farmhouse-style ale.

Westbrook Shane's Big DIPA (very awesome, buy it on sight if you see it).
Wicked Weed Serenity
Evil Twin Femme Fatale Brett

Below from growler with some friends on Saturday.
Bell's Hopslam
NoDa Hop Drop n Roll
Oskar Blues G'Knight
Ballast Point Sculpin



Hop Drop still kills the competition. That Shane's was right there though.

Dogfish Head 60 Minute (draft)

Thoughts, steve8? Although there is a bit of keg variation lately due to the increased production, when done right this is one of my top 10 IPAs. When blended 50/50 with their 90 to make a 75. Head shaking good...

PH

Widmer Brothers Upheaval IPA. Big hit of grapefruit out of the gate. Balanced out over time with good malts and complexity. Will be a good summertime session IPA for me.

I think the 60 minute in bottle is one of the best beers in the world. This was the second time I've had it on draft and both times I had the impression that it wasn't as good as bottle. Perhaps the keg variation you mentioned? I need to try both side-by-side.

Tonight, some Bethlehem Brew Works beer

Cask Conditioned Billy D ESB
Hop Explosion IPA
Always Sunny IPA
Woofiedog Mead

Let me know if your travels ever bring you this way and we'll hit the Alehouse for a mega-tasting. With all your wandering, you don't get this way much do you??

RRB ~ Blind Pig & Pliny The Elder
Uinta - Hop Nosh one of the best IPA's on the market(used to be named Hop Notch)
Four Peaks - Odelay & Hop Knot IPA

Guinness

Needed some quaffable beer for cooking chili, so bought a case of Dos Equis Ambar. Also goes well with tacos and nachos.

10 Barrel Project Failed Red
Boundary Bay IPA
Ninkasi Brewing's Little One
