    That's one of two block parties I intend to check out today. (The other being the Timbers Army block party.)

    Great days indeed!

    The "Bailey's Joy" from Alesong was very tasty. Very.

    I thought so as well. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trying it side by side with the Rusty Nail.

    My first sip of BJ, I remember thinking "wow, this is really great. Lots of Dark Chocolate and coconut here." However, after having the RN, and drinking it side by side with the BJ, I found it a bit thin and lightly bodied. The only thing that seemed to really stand up to the RN was the Parabola, and even it was decidedly inferior (I thought).

    Still thought it was a good beer (the BJ). Just need to drink it by itself next time. I meant to grab a bottle before leaving ($16 for a 500 ML bottle I believe), but was distracted and forgot. Hopefully Bailey's will have it a available for a while.

    Did you take Grumpy Hour too seriously?

    That was my favorite of the special releases. But everything I had after The Bruery's Melange № 3 is a total blur...
