Late Night BeerAdvocate - Friday

Tröegs Flying Mouflan for me.

 

Ain't you from Rhode Island? What the hell you doin' slumming in Connecticut?

 

If he answers "Eating some Sally's," then the jokes on us.

 

Starting with one or two of these...


Probably move onto either a schlafly AIPA or a lindemans peach lambic later. Cheers all!

 

Figured I'd drive it home with this

 

Started with a Union Jack, Raging Bitch, Jail Lai, and Smutty Wheat Wine.

 

balk at the folks' house for a belated birthday weekend.

 

drinking my growler of Boneyard RPM IPA, they make the best IPA's in the Northwest in my opinion

 

A growler of Southampton Abbot 12. Ended up consuming the entire growler by myself. Wasnt' my initial intention. Great stuff but punishing in such big amounts. Cheers.

 

Now moving on to this while watching basketball:

Go Thunders! Sweep the Lakers! Cheers to everyone but especially OKC Thunder fans.

 

Drinking a Terrapin Phlux Capacitor now, had a Kona Brewing Fire Rock Pale Ale and a Terrapin Easy Rider earlier.

 

Down with the Lakers! I love it!

 

That's what I am thinking too.

Breck has long underwhelmed me and I gave this one a shot based on the positive reviews here and it was available as a single, so i figured why not? But, really, I didn't expect to be to impressed based on my history with Breck's offerings. I do dig their Oatmeal Stout, though its thin mouthfeel is a huge strike against it, and that beer has always been the brewery's saving grace in my eyes. However, after trying this one I have a little more respect for Breckenridge. This is a really good beer and easily one of the most enjoyable IIPA's I have tried.

 

FFF Gumballhead (last one from my trade thanks a ton BeerMeFitz!)

Split an Alesmith Speedway Stout with my girlfriend

Now drinking some homebrew I dubbed Hop Hype IPA (6% beer bittered with Warrior and hopbursted and dry hopped with Amarillo, Simcoe, and Citra) its really hitting its peak right now, I can smell the hops when I'm standing 10 feet away from my kegerator.

 

I started with a Bell's Winter White, followed by my last Bell's Wedding Ale. I just finished a KBS and I am thinking of pouring myself a Fourth Dementia next.

 

Started with some samples at Westbrook, then a VITUS. The wife had a couple of Weihenstephaner Hefeweizens. A few Two Hearted between us and capping it off with a Gumballhead. A great off-the-shelf beer night here in SC except for the Gumballhead.
Tomorrow is homer night. Locals only. Fresh Boy King & Westbrook Gose.

 

Moon man then having my first ever HotD Fred. Are there carbonation issues with Fred? It's be 15 minutes of me trying to pour this sucker. It's seriously over-carbed.



EDIT: How do I get a photo up here? I opened a Flickr account to be able to upload here... not working.

Started Chicago Craft Beer Week with Mikkeller 1000 IBU followed by Le Freak then more 1000 IBU and finished with Heady Topper straight from the can (so much better than a glass).

 

heady topper courtesy of laymansbeerfan, first time getting to enjoy an entire can to myself. so GOOD!

 

Had an Abita TurboDog
