    I have a couple of friends at Rivertown right now putting away some sours.

    Last time I was there I bumped into my Ex-wife and her boyfriend. We had a good time.

    DFH WW Stout 18%. Pretty fucking amazing stout. I gave it a rare 5.0 on untappd. Have a good day now.

    GI Green Line. And Pumking on draft. Heaven.

    Went to a little tasting. Ended up getting a couple growlettes.

    One was the New Belgium/3 Floyds Gratzer. Holy damn, it's SO smoky. It's like a peaty Scotch level of smokiness.

    The second I got was the Weyerbacher Insanity. It's the Blithering Idiot aged in bourbon-soaked barrels. Might be my favorite barleywine. So good. And at 11.1% ... holy balls.

    I read that article earlier.

    Fuck InBev.

    I found out what the 3 Floyds/New Belgium collaborative gratzer ale is called. For those interested, it's called Lips of Faith.

    It's the smokiest beer I've ever had. Incredible. It's definitely a 4.5/5.

    Also, f*ck InBev.

    Bud light lime! That is all.

    Our White Rajah keg was just replaced with Pumking.

    Had a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Pumpkin Ale last night. Delicious.

    Also, I had about 3/4 of a Warlock. Fell asleep and spilled the rest on my lap :( Idiot.

    Haven't tried it yet, just realized they replaced it about 5 minutes ago. I'll probably wait until 4pm before getting myself a glass.

    Hopefully it's better than the bottles. Less spice than past years. Still terrific just a little less "WOW".
    oh and you're still a dick for having beer at work, good beer at that!!!! :)

    Having a Flying Dog imperial stout. Wow... Strong!

    May as well lump me in. We have good beer at work regularly, as well as other, stronger drinks. I had a nip of Oban at about 2:30 this afternoon. Was perfect for the home stretch of the day.

    In my opinion, Flying Dog is a very underrated brewery.
