    It has consistently been less than 40 degrees in Buffalo over the past few weeks, enjoy it while you can

    Very open to other beers, but I think my time with sour beers is done.

    #VBS Didn't get any strawberry. Finished the bottle
    But went quickly to an IPA afterward.

    The first time I had that beer was a 2014 bottle at only 3 or 4 months of age, while the bottle recommended a minimum of 6. I thought it was one of the best non-BA, non-adjunct stouts I'd ever had. I'm not saying I wouldn't have preferred a 2013 if I'd had them side-by-side, nor that the 2014 wouldn't be drinking better now than then, just that even without the suggested aging it's a GREAT brew.

    Bellingham, right up against the Rhode Island border. Not the biggest place in the world and 50% of my business is still BMC sales but we keep a pretty decent selection all things considered

    I've got a pumpking my little sister gave me when she visited for our pumpkin carving party. Not all that special, but its gotta get drank :stuck_out_tongue:
    Might follow up with something dark/chocolately. I've been wanting to pull a 2013 Darkness from the cellar for a bit, maybe tonight's the night??

    also, does anyone have good access to Maine Brewing stuff? Was chatting with a non BA buddy last night who used to live in Portland, Maine and was reminiscing about Maine Lunch. I told him I'd track down a bottle or two to share with him.

    Our sour selection in Florida is pretty awful. A couple of Goses or some sour saisons but that's about it.
