:-) Oyster beer just brings up bad memories of that god awful pizza beer.

local sour

Love La Folie, wish we could get it down here......along with NB's other sours.

Wish I had known that....

Tonight I've had:

NB Le Terroir
Bell's 9000

Had a few good brews on tap at the local cigar bar tonite.

Southern Tier Jah-va Imperial Coffee Stout
Left Hand Sawtooth Ale
Dogfish Head 90 IPA

tonight I drank the last 2 Avery IPA I had in the fridge then went down the street and got a Hop Juice 22. Sharp, cascade flavors in the Avery and sweetness in the Hop Juice. Paired them with a RAss 04 from a box I recently opened. Great night.

Corsendonk Christmas Ale, a pretty tasty BSDA. Picked up a case of 750s on clearance from a local bottle shop. :-)

Sierra Nevada Torpedo that the lovely girlfriend picked up for me.

Last night at our get together at Coffee District, sampled:

New Holland - El Mole Ocho (very interesting beer with chocolate and spices)
Firestone - Double Jack IIPA (really good)
Hanger 24 - Columbus IPA (good)
O'So Brewing Co - Lupulin Maximus Imperial IPA (had an actual hop cone in the bottle, ehhh/so-so)
Hair of the Dog - Ada (excellent, I brought this)
Alvinne - Calvados Barrel Melchor (brewed with mustard seed, interesting beer, a little too 'hot' though)
Alaska Pilot IIPA
Homebrew Gose - mine :-)
Southshore - Coffee Mint Bourbon Barrel Stout ( this was awful, too much mint for me, ben-gay on the nose)
Port Brewing - Mongo IPA
White Birch- Berliner Weiss (not so great)

:-)
What did you think of the Mongo?

Lagunitas Wilco Foxtrot. What an amazing beer!! :-):-)

That one did not get a fair review/chance; it was the last beer opened (don't know why), and the only beer tried after lighting a cigar outside. :-) But that said it was very nice. Nice citrus flavor and hop aroma, the bitterness was on the higher side which I like to be balanced with more hop flavor, but it was a very well made beer.

Just visited the brewery in Napa County last month... Can you say, "addicted?" IPA is amazing!

Actually, it is called Wilco Tango Foxtrot (WTF!) and, yes, it is very good. I have yet to have a Lagunitas brew I didn't like.

Good stuff, Dave.

Sunday, I really enjoyed the Mission St. 2010 Anniversary Ale. I know you must be familiar with it. :-)

I bought 3 - 2 left. I gotta get more. Road trip!!!!

Enjoying a Lion Stout right now.

victory 12, and feeling the 12% right now

Had an Allagash White at my birthday dinner, now topping off my evening with a homebrewed Hopslam clone, which is just about ready for prime time :-)

I will be on the look out for this on Friday when I head to my local shop.
