    Boulevard Coffee ale

    Not bad, especially if you are a fan of a coffee porter or stout but like a lighter beer in the summer.

    Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

    From Deschutes? I have a Dissident and Black Butte 24 aging. Had an Abyss last year. I'll see if I see anymore around.

    Had a Crux Insider IPA. Really light for a 9% IPA.

    A friend and I did a tasting last night. Besides his homebrew porter and ESB, we had Cigar City Homefront IPA and Cigar City/Dunedin Auld Alliance scotch ale and both were really good.

    He also shared several offerings from Prairie Artisan Ales from Oklahoma that he received in a trade and they blew me away. We had two saisons from Prairie - Standard and 'Merica - which were both good. We also had Prairie Bomb! which is a 14% ABV Imperial Stout with cacao, vanilla, coffee and chili peppers. Fantastic beer. The best of the night for me was the Prairie Okie which is a 13% ABV double brown ale aged in oak whiskey barrels. Overall, I would highly recommend trying Prairie Artisan Ales if you get a chance.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I forgot to mention, I visited the new Funky Buddha Brewery outside of Fort Lauderdale on Monday and I must say it lived up to the hype. We sampled 10 beers and they were all very good. No Crusts was PB&J in a glass. My favorite by a mile was Last Snow which I ended up having two snifters of after we finished the tasting (wife was driving). I might say that is my favorite porter ever - Hill Farmstead Everett is the only competition. If you're ever in the area, stop by. You won't be disappointed.

    picked up a bottle of that today from my local shop... had it last year and it was stellar. excited to get to have in again...

    Tonight however I cracked open my "enjoy by 07.04.13"... very enjoyable DIPA... but if my memory serves me correct I think I like the RuinTen more... we'll see later the week. ;)

    I found a new growler joint today!

    I was lucky enough to get a couple of local Atlanta brews I've never had before.

    Blind Pirate double IPA & a Rabbit's Reserve black IPA.

    Both are very yummy :D

    Boneyard's RPM is one of the best beers that I have ever had....yummmmm

    I love the RPM, but what's even better is their Hop Venom IPA. Try that if you get a chance.

    Had my first Voodoo stout from Left Coast Brewing. Pretty good. Very roasty. New to my local store so I had to try it.
