    Really wanted to post earlier but didn't get a chance to drink till now. So since its already tomorrow even in California I will start this thread. I am drinking a wonderful beer...

    This year's vintage is one of my favorites in terms of freshness!! You can really taste all of the flavors advertised in this beer!!! It starts with a nice Bourbon aroma, followed by a bite of Pomegranate and cranberry, it finishes off with a sweet taste of molasses and Bourbon!!
    Listening to a jam written by Giorgio Moroder and performed by Berlin...

    This might seem like a lame video to start this thread but it matches what this beer did to me ;p plus the ladies in the video are very attractive!!
    What are you all drinkin?

    Have we shortened the title to not include "beer" (WBAYDN) to just (WAYDN)? Second day in a row.
    Who authorized this????

    /... 49% joking

    Not right this moment, but about 11 hours ago I was sampling some amazing brews at Hoppin' Frog's tasting room.

    Barrel Aged Outta Kilter Scotch Ale
    BORIS the Crusher
    Mean Manalishi DIPA
    Infusion B (Mean Manalishi infused with extra hops. The best DIPA I've tasted so far.)

    And a few not as amazing guest taps:
    Sixpoint's Mad Scientist #18 - Brunswick Mumme
    and Listermann's E.S.Bee

    I haven't been on BA very long now, but it seems like Hoppin' Frog is a bit under-represented for how consistently great their beer is. Maybe it's just a matter of availability?

    On a personal Game of Thrones marathon into the morning with all session beers right now:

    Love simcoe

    Citra/Mosaic/Centennial is a fantastic combo
    [​IMG]

    Mosaic, Citra, Ahtanum, Cascade, Crystal, El Dorado, Magnum, and Sterling. So much hop flavor for such a small beer. I love that this is year round
    [​IMG]

    9 dollar 8 pack cans and plenty of flavor. This has been in the fridge a lot. Loaded with C hops from what I can tell.
    [​IMG]

    One of the most flavorful blonde ales out there. So much coffee presence

    Cheers

    due to their high prices most ppl pass them up in a store and at least with their IPAsthey then sit too long and once somebody does buy them they in turn bought an old IPA which they conclude is shitty. I've never had any of their IPAs out if a bottle that I didn't think were average. Their stouts are amazing though.

    Drinking a Folger's dark.
    Very toasty and quite heavy on the coffee flavor.
    This is a very dark brew with a smooth silky mouthfeel.
    Definitely has a little kick to it, but easily session-able.
    I'll have two or three. Cheers!

    This^. Their $9 and up , bomber only distribution. Too expensive for year round stuff. I also think the stouts are amazing, but the rest of the beers are pretty average.

    I've only seen Hoppin' Frog on draft or in bombers. Still, their stouts are pretty good, as was their Hopped Up Goose Juice.
