Glad you enjoyed the Ballistic QTEE.

I'm still suckin off the free Schlafly teet.
Stopped in on the way home and got 3-4 cases of free 'bottles'... full.

Pullin back a couple of Export IPAs now.

Wait... Wha? I went to DLD and all I got was a hug and a hangover!:-)

Victory Hopdevil

Very enjoyable

I know I know, anyone try that Shocktop yet? lol My buddy dropped a 12 off to me and it wasn't half bad, of course not much of a bite but not too bad for a cutting the lawn beer.

These are the ones I got to try last night. I really enjoyed the brandy barrel aged Zhukov and the Peach IPA.

Samuel Adams Latitude 46 IPA.... Not bad, to my surprise.

Innis & Gunn Rum Cask Finish Oak Aged Beer

OMG so good!

I didn't know you were there!?!?! When did you arrive/leave, did you see me? :-)

Just kidding! Tony and I hung out the whole night, great beer and company. Only miss was the White Oak IPA, kicked before we got to it, but they bottle that so hopefully we'll see it around soon. :-)

-Jolly Pumpkin Noel de la Calabaza '07 (very good, but maybe getting past it's prime? I brought this)
-Firestone Walker - Abacus (sooo nice :-):-))
-Vapuer - Bisis (brewed with fig leaves, very odd beer)
-Karl Strauss - 22nd Anniversary Ale (imperial stout? good beer but not an imp.stout)
-Bruery Provision Series - Cuadruple (interesting beer brewed with agave)
-Stillwater - Existent (good, cool label too)
-Mikkeller - Beer Hop Breakfast (HOPS! :-))
-Leinenkugel - Big Eddy (RIS, good, had that slight soy sauce thing going on)
