When was your last great beer weekend?

This weekend may not have been GREAT but it was damn good, including:

Friday: BB Siberian Night, Nightmare on Brett (Leopold Bros. Whiskey Barrel), Growler of Singlecut Mo Shuggie
Sat: CS Progenitor, Other Half Southerhopalistic and Nice Life, Free Will Peach Lambic, BR Tartare Rouge, OB Death by Coconut, Grimm Pulse Wave, and more (over about 8 hours)
Sun: HF Dorothy, Newburgh Hop Drop, Lagunitas High Westified, and some others that were more...lackluster.

Beer intensive weekend for the first time in a while (been deep into making cocktails lately!). Definitely reminded me why I'm so into beer in the first place, after a number of recent lackluster bottles and draughts.

 

Went to Brussels a while back for work. Got to hit Moeder Lambic to try a few gueze; had another great evening at a touristy spot near Grand Place with some Rocheforts and my first Westy; then just drinking Westmalle and Rodenbach and other classics at other times, often for just a couple euros each. I'm sure a vacation hitting up the breweries and places with vintage bottles would have been even better, but was still a very good time.

 

It's been a while but my guess would be the last time my son in law broke into his beer vault. I suspect another venture into the dungeon of beervana this next month.

Or was it the last Bruery bottle share or was it sour fest, maybe beer week... They start to all run together...

Too many great beers, too few brain cells.....

 

This past weekend was pretty great:

Friday: Greysail Pour Judgement, Modern Times Fortunate Islands, Singlecut 2X Bon Bon, Singlecut Billy Full Stack, Avery Raja.
Saturday: Modern Times Blazing World, Long Trail Space Juice, Revolution Unsessionable, Weyerbacher SMS.

No whales, but most were first tries for me (besides SMS).

 

Three weeks ago. One of my local bottle shops also has a bar attached. They did a rare beer release day behind the bar for Sunday football. Knocked off the following beers over a very long Sunday was there from 10am until 5 and yes Monday sucked.

Sucaba
Vanilla Rye
Stickee Monkee
Helldorado
KBS
BCBBW

 

last week. I got to drink 4 beers from new glarus: spotted cow, moon man, two women, staghorn. extremely hard to get living in arkansas

 

Over two days a couple of weeks ago I managed to get in a couple of Rochefort 10, a Duvel Triple Hop, two St. Bernardus Abt. 12, a St. Bernardus Pater 6, and a Chimay Blue.

 

Most recently, it was this past Friday...

I've had others that may have been better in the past, but this was a great night with great people

 

Last weekend, over the span of 3 days, I got to have Sunday Morning Stout, Alesmith Vietnamese Speedway Stout, Columbus Steel Dawn, Brew Kettle BA Tunguska, Thirsty Dog BA Siberian Night, 2014 Abyss, Mother Of All Storms, and Black Butte XXV.

 

Probably my last trip to Maine
On Friday: Heady, Tree House Light Ons, Lost Nation Gose, 14th Star Maple Breakfast Stout, BCBS
On Saturday: More Heady, more Tree House Lights On, Tree House Haze, SOS
On Sunday: Visit to MBC (Lunch, Another One, plus everything else they had on tap) and Allagash (had everything they had on tap) and drank Substance while eating in Portland.

 

Last Saturday: Julius, alter ego, green, ma, eureka w/citra, eureka w/mosaic, c21, c22, lights on...all treehouse. Then Last Snow, BB oil of Aphrodite, HF Anna, boat beer.

Sunday: all green everything, green diamonds, citra, Doug, Amarillo...all from other half. Then a few sip of Sunshine's to finish.

 

KBS release , drove nine hours with friends and got in line between 3 and 4am with hopes of scoring some KBS. We barely got it, they only had a set amount they were selling that day( this was before it was a ticketed event). They came out and started handing out numbers down the line, my group of four were the last to get numbers.The great beer we drank,along with hanging out with a lot of good people made the cold weather somewhat tolerable. It was really cold!

 

For me, every weekend has the potential to be a great beer weekend. It really depends on what I decide to pull out of my cellar, or what is available around town. What's great to me may not be good to you, and vice versa. I enjoy drinking beer, and usually do not tie it to specific beers, although I do have a variety of good beer available to me. I have a good time with craft beer. It's all in your head.

This June our Vermont camping trip featured morning to night fine beer from Vermont, Connecticut, Massachussetts, and New York, along with Liga Privadas to enjoy with them. Epic.

 

When those weekends come about, it's hard to remember...lol.
