Always my fave. Love me some October beer and baseball. Oc

 

Hey BA's

Brew from our hacienda in Mill Valley CA - fresh from the source - Anchor Brewing yesterday - I need more Foghorn in my life!

About to go for sushi in Sausalito - vacation in NORCAL not a bad way to go



that went down way too easily for a 9%+ beer

on to lighter fare



Muir Woods, Muir Beach and Stinson Beach today - awesome blue sky day with temps in the low 70's.....perfect!







life is good in Marin cty tonight!

 

We’ll see it in about a month, if at all. Hope you’re doing good L.

 

DuClaw's PastryArchy Imperial Pumpkin Spice Stout...

Delicious and roasty, not too sweet, more of a stout than a pumpkin ale, nice accents of pumpkin and spice, drier than I expected, mild bittersweetness of chocolate...

Hugh Jackman, 50 today...

Always gonna be a hero of mine for bringing my favorite superhero of all time, Wolverine, to life on the screen - doubt anyone could've done it better...

Claws up, fuckers... \I/ \I/

 

Happy weekend all. Starting with a favorite Tree House Hurricane.

 

Yes! I cannot complain about the bottle shops here. Hazel's on 28th and Walnut is reliably very good and has a nice mix of hard to get bottles with really fresh locals. There's also North Boulder Liquors on North Broadway--lots of gems to be found there. Liquor Mart off Canyon, which has been around for ages, is unfortunately, a shadow of its former self and rumored to be closing soon. Wyatt's out in Longmont is tops as well if you're out that way.

 

Home enjoying Allagash Curieux
I love the 12 oz format
Cheers all

 

Awesome NEAPA. Nice head retention/soapy lacing on the glass. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, watermelon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, and pine hops; with moderate wheat, biscuit dough, light honeyed malt balance; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; creamy/bready/grainy wheat, light sticky hops, and slight resins/rinds in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Very smooth/soft finish, not aggressive. Minimal warming 6.16%. Outstanding Simcoe, Citra, El Dorado profile. Extremely juicy and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone; mild residual sweetness with lingering dryness. Really big fan. El Dorado is definitely becoming a favorite now, since it is being used a lot more often recently. Citra/Mosaic have always been top favorites. 4.1


More huge Bruery stouts. This was fantastic. Poor head retention, and no lacing as expected of 16.2%. Aromas and flavors of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, fudge, bourbon, toasted oak, nuttiness, and dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of coconut, molasses, licorice, raisin, plum, fig, date, cherry, smoke, char, leather, tobacco, and yeast earthiness. Some booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Mild herbal/roast/char bitterness, and bourbon/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full body; very creamy, silky malts; some stickiness, chalky roast, oak tannins, and light slickness. Lightly increasing lingering bitter/tannin dryness, no acrid/astringency. Smooth sipping, mildly increasing warmth of 16.2%, minimal lingering barrel booze. Mostly on par with base Black Tuesday, but less high on alcohol; so a little more drying. Very rich dark/roast/bready malt complexity; with balanced vanilla, fruity yeast, and amazing bourbon barrel integration. Not overly boozy/tannic. 4.2


Cheers

 

This is Weird Tiger, a sour IIPA, from The Brewing Projekt. I need a bratwurst.

 

It was witch's titty cold outside today.

Or rather, brisk.

Oceanside Aleworks/Funk-n-Delicious Peach



Madlib - The Beats

 

Hey, yeah, when did that happen?!

 

Let’s go, Brewers!

 

Lagunitas Super Cluster



Could be a little fresher at two+ months old but still hanging in and tasting pretty good.

 

I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time, does not disappoint. Big thanks to my brother in law for getting me a couple of bottles.

 

I believe that's called "manspreading" and I believe that's frowned upon.

Good luck I hope to see you in the World Series.

 

Every year Michiganders (including me) would complain how Founders sent all the Barrel-aged stuff all over the country and only a small amount stayed home. That hasn't been the case in at least a year, year and a half. I can go to any shop around me and get some right now. The Founders in Detroit is twenty minutes away if I want KBS.
The only Barrel-aged series I can't get is the one I want: DKML.

TL,DR: Come up to Michigan we have plenty

 

Unless your names are Pauly and Robin!
