    Big fan of that beer. Need to pick some up again soon.

    They've said they intend to distribute here in the not-so-distant future....looking forward to that
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    FTR, Stone's 10th Anniversary Ruination is fkn incredible. If you have Stone distribution in your state and you are remotely a hop head, grab a bomber or 4 of these. Perfecto balance of malt and hops, and for the $, imo cannot be beat.

    I agree that it's great. I didn't think it was that well-balanced, but I don't think Stone was looking for balance on this one. If you like bitter hops, this will be a dream come true. A real palate wrecker.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    had the Back Forty Freckle Belly IPA last night and it was a really good one....looking forward to it being available in six packs now.
    My buddy picked up Tommyknocker's hop strike black IPA and the imperial nut brown. I'm thinking we'll do the hop strike possibly alongside the last bottle Rogue Dad's Little Helper tonight. Beer Good. Tommyknocker has some pretty solid beers but I don't think anyone else has ever mentioned them besides me...nothing earth shaking or anything but pretty solid and affordable
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    Delirium Nocturnum is quite good, but I think I prefer the Delirium Tremens. The framboise is okay. It's best in small doses because it's so damn sweet.

    Had a couple of good newbies last night at my craft beer joint (It's a place called the Hay Merchant - if you're a beer advocate subscriber, it was actually featured in the magazine this month!)

    Karabach - Hop Barren
    Bavik - Pilsner
    Stone Dry-hopped Ruination (on cask)
    Live Oak - Roggenbier
    Coney Island - Sword Swallower

    The roggenbier was really different - it's a style rarely brewed by anyone anymore, uses both rye and wheat adjuncts in the kettle.... interesting taste for sure.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    The guys in my group aren't into bitters too much. They actually loved the Framboise, hard to call it beer though.

    Local place has Pliny the Elder on tap going to get my first taste today.

    Excellent is an understatement in this case. ;)
