    I've had several of the Yazoo Brewing Hop Project beers lately....varied but all very good.

    But the big news is that the bill that would increase ABW limits here from 5% to 8% was passed by the house today...on to the senate...God i hope this passes

    Just watched a little high school basketball and then headed directly to Snake River Brewing to try the limited on-tap 'Gros Vonster'. Shit was delicious. Gonna fill the growler on the way out of town Saturday.

    Just put a few big bottles in the mini-fridge - Foret, and Allagash's Tripel Reserve & Curieux; along with a sixer of Dale's Pale Ale. Good times.

    Drinking a Jebus Freak Irish Stout - my own concoction. I don't think there's much alcohol in it, but it's freaking delicious.

    Just about to open a bottle of this....yum....

    Deschutes Hop Henge Experimental IPA

    from their site...
    "Hop Henge Experimental IPA is our annual exercise in IBU escalation. An outrageous amount of Centennial and Cascade hops are added to each barrel, with a heavy dry-hop presence as well. It is dense and muscular, with a blend of crystal, pale and carastan malts creating an overall biscuity characteristic. It’s all hop, no apologies."

    i've gotta say that this is incredibly tasty. my wife even likes it & she usually hates IPA's.
    Had that a couple of night ago really tasty.

    Last night had Lawnmower Lager from Caldera and Mission Brewery 2012 Celebration Ale.

    Love that untappd but taking me forever to enter all my beers.

    In the interest of drinking everything I had picked up a couple bottles of Lindeman's Peche Lambic on last visit to the store.....tried it last night and it was just was a figured...fruity as shit and pretty much undrinkable. I'd never had a lambic before
