    I thoroughly enjoyed a Cigar City Humidor Series India Pale Ale tonight. I love that beer.

    Going to another one of my mom's fundraisers tonight with the sole purpose of winning these two raffles:
    Public Craft Brewing Co.
    Two (2) Pint Glasses
    T-Shirt (XL, but may be exchanged for another size)
    Gift Certificate good for one growler (64 oz) filled with your choice of beer. Or you could just spend it on pints and/or products!

    Dark Lord Imperial Stout – Three Floyds Brewing Company
    2013 brew – a very rare and very special beer. Rated 100 on RateBeer.com

    Wish me luck :D

    Dark Lord Imperial Stout was the absolute worst beer I've ever had. Seriously, it tasted like a blend of coffee and motor oil. It even had the "intelligentsia" logo on the label, so you know coffee was in it.....

    Sounds like my kind of beer.

    First time drinking a Speakeasy Vendetta IPA...
    very good, extremely fresh - almost a DIPA with its complexity of hops...
    quite good, would like to try a draught opposed to the 22 oz bomber just to see if it finishes as dry...
    Anyone else had this?

    I've had it in a couple of 12oz bottles. It's okay.

    Stone Farking Wheaton wOOtstout :D
    13% ABV
    =Imperial Stout brewed w/ pecans, wheat & rye, partially aged in bourbon barrels.
    YUMMY!!! Little warm here in San Diego, don't want to drink a lot of it, but it is tasty...
    Collab w/ Drew Curtis (fark.com), Wil Wheaton (yep, that Wil Wheaton) & Greg Koch...
    Buying a few more today to age...glad I didn't go for the 2L growler last night, might have outlasted the appropriate carbonation :D
    I recommend it and would love to read thoughts if anyone else has tried it.
    PROST!

    Wish I knew how to properly add pictures in this forum, but our weekly bottle share turned into Sour Power. Allagash Coolship Red was my favorite. New Glarus Enigma was second, then the 25th Anniversary Goose Island Flanders Red. We also had NG Strawbeery Rhubarb, Serendipity, and Wild Sour. Russian River Consecration, Rivertown Ojos Negros, Quetsche Tilquin, Almanac Farmer's Reserve #3, Fantome Saison, Boulevard Saison-Brett, Lost Abbey Red Poppy, and then a couple excellent IPAs in Maine Lunch & Pliny the Elder.

    Pretty spectacular bottle graveyard after that one.

    Picked up a 4 pack of Oskar Blues Ten-Fidy imperial Stout. Damn, it is good. Expensive though. Paid $12 or $13 for the 4 pack.

    New Belgian Brewing Co just started distributing to my neck o the woods this past week. Got three bombers of (not sure of the exact names) Summer Wheat Belgian-style, IPA, and a Tripel. Not expecting to be blown away but they were only like $3.50 a piece.
    On another note, just tried the Victory V12 quad...that is some serious stuff.

    Delightful indeed. Something about pouring out of a can into a glass that really made me think I was about to drink dirty motor oil. :lol:
