Warren, find yourself in SoCal sometime and I'll take you to Taps Fish House and Brewery. Been to brunch there many a time when brunch turns into a spontaneous Herf! They brew some great beers too :-)

I went to Kansas City, MO this weekend and picked up a bunch of beers that I cant get on the Kansas side:

Boulevard Dark Truth Stout
Boulevard Tank 7 Saison
St Bernardus Abt 12
Boulevard Rye-on-Rye (rye ale aged in Teppleton Rye barrels)
Magic Hat #9
Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
Ofallon Whiskey Smoked Porter

Bells Batch 9000
Bells Rye Stout
Founders Double Trouble
Bells Two Hearted Ale
[Reply]

That Bell's 9000 is very strange. Drinks like a sweet beer and finishes like a port.

Double Dead Guy '09
Lagunitas IPA Maximus
Founders Double Trouble
Founders Nemesis (SCORE!)

The owner at my favorite bar is doing the same thing. I'm very interested in seeing what happens to this beer.



Maximus is awesome!

I might have to look for this Nemesis.

Thank you, Dave!

This is something that I just doing myself so we'll see what happens.
[Reply]

That is interesting. The good part would tasting after aging. The hard part would staying out of it! I may try this with a couple bottles of the Red Chimay, just for a few months or so.
[Reply]

I live in CA, we don't have basements or anything similar to a cellar. What would you guys recommend as a means of storage?
[Reply]

I got some 08 Chimay put away and some Founders Backwoods Bastard. I also plan on putting some favorite seasonal beers away not to age but to get be through till it comes around again. I forgot to stock up Ale Asylum Satisfaction Jackson this year. :-)

Enjoying a Lake Louie Warped Speed Scotch Ale.

Any utility room or closets that might be not on an outside wall? They might be a bit cooler then the rest of the home.
[Reply]

I just keep mine in a bottom cabinet in the kitchen that is away from the stove and the air duct, it stays about 60-65 degrees. I would love to be cooler but it seems to be ok
[Reply]

A few new ones and some old favorites.
