    Visited four fathers in valpo and bought one of everything.
    Todays beer is The 26th. A straight up IPA.
    Very good with my chips and hummus.
    Hot damn, I never thought anybody from here would try anything from Four Fathers, much less go there. I am pretty close to there (20 minutes). It's one of my top breweries around NWI. Did you get any of the "Sloth Love Chunk? 
    I didn't see it listed. Is it available all the time?
    Yesterday I had dr. terminus.
    It's not always available. I thought it normally got released this time of year. Are you within close proximity to Valpo? I'll let you know when it's released if so.
    It's a halfway stop to chicago, about 1 and a half hours.
    But I would appreciate a heads up. I have a few friends who are goonie fans.  =)
    DEMON CORE tonight.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    Ordered a bells oberon and surprisingly I’m not a fan. I was hoping I’d like it. Maybe the keg is bad.

    Had a Dogfish Dragon & Yum Yums tart ale. Not bad. I'm not a sour beer guy but it wasn't that sour.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Finally got around to getting my KBS this year. Just went with a 4 pack and a bomber.

    Yeah I am so not a sour fan but I feel I need to give them another try.

    Not yet...but I hear it's very good this year. I've still got 1 regular bottle from 2016, a bomber and regular from last year and I'll be hanging on to the bomber from this year for awhile. The 4 pack will be consumed over the next month or two probably.

    Yeah it’s very good. Heavy coffee flavor which I like. I plan to make my other 4 pack last a while.

    I'm not a fan of stouts but I finally got around to trying this one. It was pretty good.

    It’s a great DIPA. I think anyone who says it’s overhyped is lying to themselves.

    It's good but not GREAT.

    Great beers are coming out of Finback and Grimm though.  Those two brewers have been amazing the past few years!

    I’d like to try both! I don’t think they distribute in the Midwest but I could be wrong. I need to look.

    Joe you drink some good beer!  Does your local liquor stores have all of these or are you a traveling man?
