    Kind of late to decide but I will be heading to the Top of the Hops Beerfest in Jackson Mizzip tomorrow. Should be a good time. Better late than never
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I was dumb in my earlier post. The Oregon Brewers' Fest started yesterday. I swung by after work and got my mug and tokens. Had three tasters before heading home. Today is the real day. I took off work and am going right at noon! :D

    I tasted the following:

    Boulevard Zon Wit-style: This was good, but not as good as I remember it. Kind of mediocre witbeer this time around.
    Pelican Winema Wit: This was excellent, much better than the Zon. Very much has the orange peel and coriander taste in the middle. Nice light finish. Flavorful beer.
    Bayern Dark Doublebock: Really excellent dark double bock. Smooth and strong with that roasted malt taste. Loved this beer.

    Just finishing the last 1/2 glass of my only bottle of Ruination, 10th anny...

    I've never had a glass of normal ruination before, but the 10th anny is absolutely divine... too bad it's my only bottle... :(
    Opened and finished my first Ruination 10th anni tonight as well. Lucky for me a I fanagled 3 bottles out of my local shop. I enjoyed it mightily but holy shit it's a monster. Bitterness lingers all over the tongue like raw oily hop blossoms. I wrote my own review and then read some on beeradvocate...was shocked to see some folks saying they thought it was balanced. I loved it, but it's anything but balanced (imo). It's an attack on your senses, makes Palate Wrecker look like 60min.
    Agreed. Balance isn't what they were going for, I don't think. It's ridiculously bitter and the hop oils coat your mouth. I loved it.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    What does everyone do with beer that is brought over by guests but then no one drinks it? I have a case of Harp thats in the way and I'd rather not drink it. I know it could be a much worse beer but compared to my other choices, it is.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    You drink it, of course. It's still beer.

    Yep. Way too low. Bummer too, I used to love the stuff! I'll still drink it if I have to - it's better than Miller or PBR or any of that crap at least.

    wow. no love for guinness. I enjoy a few points every once in a while. I do prefer boddington's or Kikenny though.

    Agreed.

    And I thought it was lower than 4.2; I thought it was more like 3.2 or something?

    I dunno, maybe there's something to having it in Ireland non-imported, but here it sure does suck. And is overrated.

    Also, this may be a reach by me, but outside of Czech-ish/Belgium/German beers, I think US Craft beers have completely blown by other beers.
