    Hey guys, hopefully a lot of us went out and voted today. I had a rare Tuesday off so its a Tandoori Chicken Panini from a local place plus some Widmer Nelson. Thinking of what to open later in the day. So BA, what are you enjoying on this Election Tuesday?

    What are your thoughts on Nelson? I've seen it a few times but I always seem to pass it up. That panini is making me damn hungry.....

    I'm trying to bring Summer back by drinking one of these:

    I'm a fan. Its tough to find fresh bottles but when its within a month or two its very solid. Nothing too amazing but I've found myself drinking a lot of this beer lately. Just a hint of that exotic Nelson Sauvin hops.


    Love that beer! Cheers!

    By a stroke of luck, a buddy of mine still had 5 left out of a sixer of this and he hated it! Lucky me!!! :slight_smile: Enjoy your day off, I usually work at 2:30, but work at 7 tonight, so I though I could sneak in a good lunch time beer.

    How's the 78 holding up? One of the nicest surprises for me this year.

    I might indulge in a SN Celebration, but sadly I do not vote. This of course is a very deep subject in which we can discuss over many ales!

    I'm still liking it man! Still good carbonation, and tastes good. That's all I care about! It would be interesting to have a fresh one to compare it to though... Wonder if we'll ever see these fresh again.

    Couple of Short's Ale la Reverends while waiting for barbecue takeout. Chowing down on barbecue and drinking Two Hearted tonight while watching election returns (Yep...total dork here).

    Cheers

    Had one of these two weeks ago and it was AWESOME. Totally shocked me, it was a grapefruit/guava bomb. Would have loved to try this fresh, great beer.

    I bought this year's Backwoods on Sunday, then immediately got a terrible head cold. Haven't been able to taste anything since. Today is the first day I've been sort of better. Might open one tonight, might wait another day. Seeing Backwoods sitting there in the fridge, eyeing me as my sick ass goes for another vitamin water...it's been tough.

    I'll get you, you old Bastard. Soon. Soon.

    I had the first batch back in early 2011. I was shocked to see it return this year, so hopefully it is a somewhat annual release.

    Yeah, I had it only this year. Honestly it took me a couple to grow on me since it was first "Tart" type of beer ever, but after probably the second, I was hooked! Did the same thing with DFH Aprihop. Didn't like the first one, but now I love it!

    Hey folks! No classes on Tuesdays for me so I'm sipping on this while doing some studying:

    This is one of the better Saranac brews in my opinion...Pretty solid, in fact.

    And listening to the new Enslaved. It's so impressive that this band has been around since the early 90's and they still put out fucking amazing music on every single album:


    Cheers!

    SN celebration to start, and a very fitting growler of Avery's Ale to the Chief later this evening. Cheers!
