    I see they "tentatively" have Abner on tap right now. Enjoy!

    Hahaha! I love that app, but I'm no Santa Clause!

    If anything I didn't even take pictures while I was at the "newish" Karben4 Brewing Co and Ale Asylum last night! Nor did I post a pic from Funky Buddah down in Miami on Monday (was in the area for a wedding last weekend), or from my trip last week to 50 West in Cincinnati! I really should have started sharing more photos months and months ago. I'm going to try and hit up a few near my hometown Charlotte, NC in the next week or so, and then it's down to Cigar City the day before Thanksgiving (I'll be thankful indeed!).

    I'm up to 123 different breweries this year, and I'm hoping to get up to 130 or more by the end of the year. I just don't have too many work trips left to get to some of these great places, and of the ones planned I've already visited most in those areas.

    Cheers man!

    I seem to be in the minority here, but this beer is fucking fantastic. Awesome balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast with chocolate/caramel/brown bread/nutty/toffee malts and moderate oak/clove and a bit of vanilla. The flavor robustness was way higher than I ever expected for 3.5% and a FG of 1.002. Thanks Cyde!!

    Damn good imperial stout. Definitely very chocolatey and robust with some light-moderate roastiness. Fair amount of hop balance and zero cloying. Very tasty stuff.

    "Don't have too many work trips left...", does that mean you're getting paid for this beer Disney?! Us poor folks have to tick our beers from the local bottle shop and/or craft bar while you take the Hugh Hefner approach and just brewery hop to tick yours. Ha! (LOVE IT! :slight_smile:) Either way it = Fist Pump. Safe travels!

    This stuff is drinking nice as hell right now! The BBL version is very good but I prefer the regular. I wish DH would brew it again...

    Went out to dinner with a friend of mine in Gainesville and had a pint of Swamp Head's Midnight Oil—real solid stout. Now I'm back in my hotel and having a can of Stumpknocker, but that's it for me tonight. Gotta be up early as crap.

    A local bar had a founders tap takeover tonight! I got a snifter of kbs, and a flight (or sampler). From left to right: 2011 Backwoods Bastard, Boiler Maker, Mango Magnifico, and an apple pie cider (not founders, and for the gf).[​IMG]

    I guess you could say it comes with the territory... :wink:

    I'll likely be writing a large "piece" on my year's travels. I'll be sure to send a link out when 2013 is close to wrapping up. Cheers!
