Went to the Columbus Brewing Co for dinner tonight. Disapointed in the IPA and 2XIPA, the scottish ale was good as was the blond lager. Stout was decent, I think it was maple creme. The bock was the third best beer they had IMHO.

Bought my brother a couple bottles of Hellhound and Hoppin' Frog's Mean Manalishi Double IPA (168 IBUS!!!) for his birthday.

I had Urthel Hop-It last night (winking lizard glass of the month). I thought it was a good well balanced beer, had lots of hop flavors without the huge punch. I could drink it all night and its 9.5 abv.

I had Victory HopDevil on tap too last night. It had the typical huge hop finish. It was ok, but I am just not a fan of those types of beers. Out of the bottle this would probably not be drinkable for me.

I have yet to meet a beer that I thought had too much hops.

About to finish a 4 pack of Founders Double Trouble; freaking awesome beer. Pretty sure I'm going to be nodding off soon.

Saw a 6 pack of Thirsty Dog 12 Dogs of Christmas Ale tonight but didn't buy it. Anyone ever had it and how good is it? It was like 12 bones. I noticed it was 8.3 percent. If it's pretty good I will go back and get some.

I like it a lot. jIt has a lot going on in it as far as spice load, sweetness, and other flavor profiles and yet manages to be pretty damn drinkable especially for 8.3%.

Also has anyone tried Conway's Irish Ale by Great Lakes?

Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro is fantastic.

I'm game.

Looks like Hopslam made it back into Jungle Jim's. Nice thing since I was paying $8.00 a bottle at a pub for it here in Fairfield.

Did they have it on tap at the Beer Fest Justin ?

Had this. I don't think I have had many imperial pilsners. Reminded me of a hazy blonde IPA. Decent hop finish. Not bad, but not memorable.

Only one?

off of the hadn't had list. After that one, I had a Ommegang Abby Ale, which was awesome as usual and then i had a Kentucky Burboun ale which is a great desserty beer to end the night on.

Also note, I got the abby ale because my pallet was impaired from my hot wings. That's why I didn't try anything new.

313 Ommegang is great. I love their ales, the monks do it right.
