Post a picture of your Latest Beer Haul (2012-2014)

Decided to drive up to Williamsburg AleWerks today to take the tour and pick up some fresh 2nd batch Bitter Valentine. They had some of their 5th Anniversary ale I thought was delicious and had to bring home with me.

 

Went over the boarder tonight and picked up these guys!!!
DFH 120min (Just had this fresh a few weeks ago, and going to age this one)
DFH 75min
Saugatuck Singapore IPA
Founders ALL DAY IPA (I have not tried this, but have tried all their other brews I could get my hands on and now its this ones turn!)

 

Finally got a chance to upload a bunch of beer **** Ive rec'd from some very, very generous BAers (Except KtG was from release, been a while)

 

I thought the All Day was delicious - I predict and hope that session IPA's are the next big trend in the American craft beer world. Cheers!

 

They were onced called APAs.

 

I understand that there is little distinction between certain styles. But there are quite a few small scale brewers that are just now tapping into the idea of a low alcohol India Pale. And if you ask me, APA's and IPA's are unique genres, no matter the ABV.

 

Bitter Valentine is so ridiculously awesome! I had one bottle, but I've got to get some more of that stuff. Have you ever tried their Barleywine? I think I want to pick one up next time I'm in PA.

 

GREAT EXTRAS JEEZE

 

Just got back from Vermont. Already can't wait to plan the next trip.

 

went there yesterday as well.
stocked up on Bitter Valentine and grabbed some more Grand Illumination (can't believe that's still available!). wish I filled a growler of the FIF... may still do that this week as Alewerks is only 30 minutes away from my job.

 

At the tasting the guide popped a bottle of Grand Illumination, it was a good solid brew, I have a couple bottles I am aging, he said most people prefer it with a couple years on it.

Yeah, FiF was my favorite of the tasting, I just had to grab some. Soo good.

 

I can't find any info on the 5 anny beer by them? What is it and is it only draft only?

 

It's a Belgian strong ale, and unfortunately it is draft only. He said they are using the remainder of what they had of it in a special blend beer that they then are going to throw in bourbon barrels...it sounded interesting but I did not ask him when/if they would be bottling for distribution.

 

Ah ok. Did you have the older ex FBI guy give you the tour? That beer sounds interesting. They are my favorite East Coast brewery for sure so I like to try everything I can from them.

And Total Wine just had Coffeehouse Stout for 3.99 a 6er the other week which was sweet. It's definitely falling off though.

 

It was 8 hours of driving, but I was too close to Brussels to not trek there.

 

One of my writers who lives in Sonoma took a trip to Russian River for me last week.


Yeah, I'm pretty happy with that.

 

Yum paired with yum..I like it.
What do they write for?
