Weather could be better but I can do with mild rather than hot:

Greetings, beer people of the world! Happy Friday to ya, and welcome to New Beer Weekend #307! I have a beer in my hand, and I hope you do too, so let's get on with it!

Here's how New Beer Weekend works:

First, get a new beer. That is, a beer that's new to you. Maybe it was canned yesterday and released this morning and it doesn't even have an entry in BeerAdvocate yet. Or maybe it's a beer that's been around for decades and you finally got your hands on it....

I’m sure there are others, but those are the ones I have tried.
Today I had a Baltic Porter, one from Goldfinger and it was lighter than the robust and thinner than the regular and had more dark fruit flavors than either. It’s delicious!

Probably mostly due to availability, Imperial IPAs are my daily go-to beer. And there are some good options out there.

Here's where we are right now:

We seem to have three set annual tastings (Cellaruary (February), Oktoberfest (September/October) and Holiday (December)), but there still seems to be interest in either one off day events (such as Orval Day) and also the traditional weekend long dedicated style(s) tastings.

This month, a potential idea would be good to finally host a North Coast Old Rasputin One...

Tripel Lefort, a Belgian. Less known than other classic tripels and equally tasty.
Probably the Belgian brewers have about penned this style over the decades:
