Good morning Joe, Dusty
Morning, Scott. Nice weekend, lots of beers. Stuck with IPAs, for the most part. Port Brewing Mongo, Deschutes Hop Henge Experimental, and Knee Deep Simtra. Squeezed a North Coast Old Rasputin in there as well. All OK, nothing jumped out at me as a re-purchase. Maybe the Mongo. Old Rasputin was good but it had that high carbonation thing going on that kinda turns me off at times. Just seems to clash with an otherwise thick, sweet stout.
See if you can find the Horny Goat Choc/PB Porter, it's really good. Brewed in Milwaukee
I'll ask. No plans on stopping by the liquor store this week but that'll change by lunch time today.
Exactly, why fight the inevitable?
Exactly. Normally I'd be saving my booze budget for the liquor store/whiskey tasting tomorrow night but it's looking unlikely that I'll be able to attend. Dan's killing that for me, BTW. Can get more in to that tomorrow if you'd like. Or now, just say so. Wife's got plans for the weekend that'll include plenty of beer... Darius Rucker concert Friday night at the fair, Oyster Fest on Saturday, and says Sunday will be 'low key' which I hope means leave me the hell alone and let me smoke cigars all day.
Well, something tells me you have differing views on the definition of "low key". Maybe that just means Dan and his wife and kids will come over to hang
Yes, we usually do have different definitions of that. O'well. Victory at Sea growler fills were available at one of the Ballast Point locations (still are). Might run out there and get some. Only thing holding me back are a few bottles that I already have, but I'm kinda curious to compare it how it tastes out of a bottle, see if I can pick up any differences. That's an awfully heavy beer to have to go through so much of in just a couple days, though.
I would have to try that on tap, don't know how you're holding back. Whah, too much great beer to drink! I could think of worse challenges
LOL, I know... I try to cut back on the amount of beer I drink during the week. I do really enjoy getting it on tap at the cigar shop. It was my old regular, before they got in the Mother Earth SinTax. That was before I realized that the PB stout was regularly available in stores. Given a choice between the two I'd definitely take the VaS. Maybe I'll go and get a smaller growler, just a 32oz jug.
