Late Night Beer Advocate - Wednesday

Stopped by the local brewpub for a "Keep the Glass" event (First one was the one I got to keep).

First was Boulder Brewing Company Business Time Mild (Very good):



Then, Not on the "menu" was Bell's Two Hearted:



This is where I got disgusted with the "Beer Club" and quickly drank my last one and left. Sam Adams Norse Legends. (Different but decent)

Now... Great Lakes Burning River.. wondering if Diablo 3 servers will EVER come back online.

 

finally got my hands on this

 

Always awesome when you can drink a beer & watch the wife work!

 

no beer tonight, slightly sick. Hoping to sleep it off so I can enjoy a few pints on my birthday (tomorrow).

cheers to you guys, though!

 

Lucky

I've only had Mirror Mirror once, in one of the rounds of the Blind BIF (so I had no idea what it was or where it came from) and I totally thought it was a sour/wild ale of some sort. I actually kinda enjoyed it, but I still want to try non-infected Mirror Mirror...

 

Starting the night with a flying dog Unerdog Atlantic Lager, so far I've liked half of this sixer quite more than I expected. Go Thunder!

 

Spent the day visiting job sites around Virginia, first up was a fresh Sculpin out of the kegerator, then a bomber of Arctic Panzer, an aged Hopslam, now enjoying a zombie dust (courtesy of willandperry - thanks dude)! Cheers to Humpday.

 

The nightcap while waiting for the start of the third period of the Rangers game:

 

Long day at work comes to a beautiful end:

 

Just got done with my last final of the year, HALLELUJAH! Going to meet up with some buddies that just got back in town and we plan on getting excessively inebriated. Cheers, BAs!

 

It's fantastic!!! I may be going up this weekend to check out the mansion I'm getting married at this summer, and they're having the grand opening of the expansion they just did. A friend of ours is Adirondack Miss Dirty Blonde, so we may meet her and her husband there. Hopefully they still have some 4-packs of it! Last time I grabbed this, and their Whiskey Sour which was pretty cool and unique as well. They are doing some really great things up here! I wish they would bottle the Imperial Cream Ale (9.5%). I'll certainly grab some to send ya!!!

 

where at in VA, if you don't mind me asking

 

fantastic. i'd be down to check out anything you recommend. looking forward to heading back to lake george hopefully this summer, but my little one might be too little so might have to wait til next year. cool to see that they are experimenting like that.

keep me posted and let's converse about it.

 

Nothing fancy tonight; just a single can of 'gansett porter I picked up because the little guy looked lonely on the shelf.

 

And a bowl of Shin Ramyun. Had a couple of Torpedos a few hours ago while playing Gotham City Impostors.

 

Had a Noble Pils earlier and about to have a Salvator. Springtime lager night.

 

drinking a modus hoperandi after a LOOOOOONNNNGG week, cannot believe it is not Friday yet...

 

Business time surprised the hell out of my when I had it last month. So robust for a session beer, loved it. The Imperial Pint is a nice glass too, and I have used it quite a bit since then

then onto my night:
Far better than I expected. Lots of robust flavors, with great balance. Damn delicious.


Absolutely magnificent. This was presumably a Nov 2009 bottle(wasnt dated but I picked up a Feb 2010 Yeti from the same store, so do the math lol). So fricking complex and balanced. The hops were pretty much gone; but the grapefruit, pine, and earthiness was still present in great balance. Damn.


EDIT: it was a 2009! I just looked on the bottom and the bottle manufacturer had a Julian Dating of 9179(179th day of 2009) nice!

 

Moved on to a great divide colette, super tasty for a low end farmhouuse ale. Little funk, little tart, like it a lot.
