Morning, all. So many beers and cigars this weekend, tough to come crashing back to reality this morning.
Morning Joe - you are not the only one waking up in the "too many" boat this morning.
Figured as much. Morning, Texas Dave. Better too many than not enough, right?
Amen, not enough might not wake up at all!
That would not be desirable either.
Well, since nobody else is talking... drank a hell of a lot of Alpine Nelson over the weekend, but my surprise favorite beer was Mission Brewery's Dark Seas Russian Imperial Stout. Not sure why but I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Also had Alpine's Exponential Hoppiness triple IPA but I didn't like it. Had high expectations since lines form outside the brewery when it's released, but I thought it had an odd metallic aftertaste and was strangle sweet. Haven't had a triple IPA that I've liked outside of Stone's RuinTen. Capped off the beer drinking with a Horny Goat PB Chocolate porter last night.
I had several myself, Stone RuinTen, Founder's porter, Southern Tier Mokah are all excellent. I made the mistake one night following the RuinTen with a Sculpin and it was like drinking Miller Light. The Mokah was excellent with a La Antiquedad, I was so into the Chok the first time I tried the Mokah that I blew it off since then but it's right up there
Nice line up there. Nelson has become my new favorite citrusy IPA, better than Sculpin IMO. Not that I won't ever have Sculpin again, since a major drawback of the Nelson is that it goes terribly with just about anything. Strong grapefruit flavors with that one. Almost ditched the family and drove out to Ballast Point yesterday, they had Victory at Sea w/ Peanut Butter cereal on tap. Not sure what the cereal part means, but it sounded good.
