    Third Shift here again, ending my day off with a beer and beginning your day! Today is a beer that should've hit the Austin market a month ago, but is just dropping now. Picked this up for free (with some Santa Fe Imperial Java Stout & Stone Mint Chocolate) on Small Business Saturday (thanks Amex!)

    Admittedly I drank a bit before I took the pic. This stuff is delicious! So many coffee, caramel, and chocolate notes. Surprising amount of taste for a non-barrel-aged beer.

    Santa Fe Imperial Java Stout up next!

    I'm gonna skip to the Stone Mint Chocolate and ask, have you tried that before?

    Returned from Indiana yesterday and stopped in Ohio on the way to PA...in the glass now (it's an office day at home), super fresh White Rajah - awesome! :slight_smile: Fist pump to you Ohio BA'rs who have "regular" access to this stuff. (It cost me 8 hours in the car one way!)

    A late-afternoon "meeting" at the bar next door to work yielded one Jack's Abby Ginger and Juice and one Lagunitas IPA, both of which answered various workday prayers of mine.

    EDIT: I was also delighted to see that the bar (Cornwalls in Kenmore Square, Boston) had just put Jack's Abby Kiwi Rising on tap, but alas, I had to come back to work so a deceptively easy drinking big brew wasn't in the cards.

    Is the Blind Pig a West Coast IPA? BA says American IPA but looking for more incite.

    After eating something that was probably too greasy for me, I'm having one of these (old pic).

    Just make sure you have the Sam smith first. Much more subtle in flavor.
