  • A buddy brought a 6-pack of this...
    6024510290_92f6c36746-e1331138653726-300x300.jpg
    ... to watch the UFC fights at my brother's place.

    It didn't go over very well with the crowd,
    but I gotta say I quite enjoyed it.
    Quite citrus-y, but all anyone else could say was,
    "All I taste is bitter!"
    Heathens...

    Cheers.

    The other night I had an aged DFH beer night with a few friends. On the menu:

    - 2009 Fort
    - 2010 Old School
    - 2010 Immort
    - 2011 Burton Baton
    - 2011 Fort

    What did you think of the aged Burton Baton?

    I love the beer fresh, however I attempted aging it a little while ago... I have a bottle at ~1 year, and I have to say that I really didn't enjoy it as much as the fresh beer... I still have 2 more bottles aging, but I don't think i'll be putting anymore in the cellar....

    have had a lot of other great beer lately... spent almost 3 weeks in California for work and pretty much went buck wild trying everything I could get my hands on.. drank a lot of beers from The Bruery... I actually managed to come back to Texas with 2 bottles of Black Tuesday... can't wait to try that whale...

    I loved it. Are you sure you have your bottles in the proper light and temperature?

    I think aging beer is well worth it as long as the beer is not hoppy- I want those as fresh as possible.

    Had a couple of Block 15 Sticky Hands last night, that stuff is good. Also had a pint of Ninkasi's NW Ale, pretty good for a lighter flavorful beer.

    Brought home a bottle of Enjoy By 12-13-13, Rogue Brutal IPA and Racer 15 Imperial IPA.

    Utter happiness and deliciousness at your house, Horos. Prost! The Racer 15 is so good, makes me wish they'd have it available more. The Enjoy By as always is magnificent.

    The Brutal IPA kicks ass. Bought a bottle for my dad and he really enjoyed it.

    Will probably crack open one or both of my Dead Guy's tomorrow

    So good!!! Been picking up a bottle on the way home.

    The 12-13-13 seemed a little strong on the alcohol flavor this time. I only had one other batch of the Enjoy By and I'm certainly no connoisseur.

  • Grabbed 3 bottles of Terrapins White Chocolate Moo-Hoo today. It's good, but a bit thin. It opens up a lot more though after the first pour. It will be nice to try this one in a year I'm guessing. I hope I can get my hands on the Cinnamon Roll Wake n Bake later this month/January.

    She actually waited in line 3 hours and then decided to leave for lunch. :fp:

    Her fiance went back later and was able to acquire some. I should have told her to start a 'line and list'.
