    Day 2 was shared Saturday @Mipper 's house along with @PA-Michigander and @Houser:



    Side Project Fencerow!

    Wow, this was damn good. Like straight tart raspberry juice.

    Thanks Michael!

    Before the new Enforcers come after me, I am a day late in posting, but not drinking, or sharing.

    Day 3:


    I shared this with @Jwilford23 as he got back into town from Equillibrium. Great flavor and I guessed raspberries.

    Reveal:


    Blackberry East Bank. Three days, three awesome beers. Thanks @Kramerbarthomer, I've got day four chilling for this evening.

    And finally opened Day just before midnight after driving all over the state to visit family all day:



    Removal of cap revealed a cork, a super dry cork that feel apart as I tried to remove it. What's left of the cork said Streetside Brewing, which I'm not familiar with.

    A sour for sure, thinking Strawberry or maybe Melon?

    Ended up being a wild ale brewed with tea. So many flavors going on with this, nice sour notes and tons of fruits/herbs going on. Interesting and complex, I enjoyed it.

    Day 4:
    [​IMG]
    When I saw the wax top I thought I was in for some sort of BA stout, but instead I get a dark, fruited sour. Tastes like cherries and some oak, but not a spirit barrel. no clue what beer it is, but I like it very much.

    Seditious Ways from Rare Barrel! I love Rare Barrel. Not exactly a "local" beer, but a damn good beer that I'm happy to have. Thanks @KyleDavis!

    Day 4 from @dannyfayy came in the form of a 375ml green bottle, plain silver cap. Poured a prickly hazy orange. First impression was slightly sour peaches with a little hint of oak behind it. Given the region, I figured it was an Allagash sour...

    So close, yet so far. Yet another new brewery tick! Very refreshing, the oak became more apparent the warmer it got. Thanks again Dan!

    @azuelke sent me a mini Very for day 4.
    First one pours black, not terribly thick.. taste is big coffee and a sweet vanilla finish.. I’m thinking Peruvian morning

    Second one has a pretty bad smell.. taste isn’t much better..

    [​IMG]

    Its Cassian Sunset 17 & 18!

    The replacement bottle was the same year Adam but unfortunatly the same smell.. thanks! And a reminder to drink fresh!

    Cheers! I made sure soon the extras were local beers to make up for none of you wrapped Days being local.

    Stat:
    5/6 wrapped Days are from breweries I'm a member of.
    1/6 Days is double digit (by a lot) ABV.

    Drew isn't the sharpest Local, so we will apologize for him sending an El Cat bottle to an El Cat member, if that's what it ends up being. His humor and comedy make up for his shortcomings though...
