  I've thought about that even to maybe buying a kegerator. Held off so far, but might do something this summer.
  
  I really need to go through my stash in the back room and the growing non stash that is now in the dinning room area. I've looking at a couple of bars in a furniture store. I might end up buying two of them and use them a dinning room table.

  Ok beer time. Just had a couple of the Rivertown Roebling Imperial Robust Porter. After having it on tap it just doesn't feel/taste the same from the bottle. The vanilla and espresso flavor are very buried in it right now. Not bad but not as great on tap.
  
  I'm looking forward to their Lambic coming out in May I believe. Very different beer and lambic for that matter.

  Uncorked my Fantome Strange Ghost and having that now. Combination of funky sourness with strong spices; very interesting but overall pretty good beer. Will most likely pick up some more stuff from Fantome.

  One of my faves. Love it. Have 4 in the fridge. May find my way to them but started off the night with Bell's Two Hearted. Enjoying it a little more than usual after installing a baseball-themed ceiling fan in my son's room. Can't get drunk though as said son is due any day now. Once he arrives, I'll drink to his birth.
  
  He'll have his bottle....and I'll have mine.

  With all the Raspy conversation I actually passed on buying some tonight. Maybe because I saw the Speedway Stout above it and knew I have a couple bottles of it stashed. I did pickup some other beers though.
  
  Weyerbacher Insanity. It's been a long time since I had this.
  Oaked Arrogant Bastard. (see above) I'd loved to age this. We'll see.
  Triple Digit Aftermath Scotish Ale. Brand new beer made here in Cincy. Got a bomber and it's just going out into different places in kegs this week.
  Hoppin' Frog Hop Heathen Imperial Black Ale. (I've never had this, but it had me at Hoppin' Frog)
  Founder's Dirty Bastard and Founder's Double Bastard. (Both solid. If it's Founder's it's solid)
  I managed to snag another 4 pack of KBS. I ended up giving one bottle away to an old friend of mine who has never had it. He just happen to be grabbing bottles for his home brew while I was at The Jungle...I have another bottle reserved for Dey Durkie IF we meet up tomorrow...or whenever as it may go to Justin instead as I know where he lives. (lol)
  
  To beat it all what happens when I get home? I break into a bottle of wine. Oh well the beer will be drank eventually.

  Agree. All i did was ask if they had anymore and the Dude said I'll set you up with a 4 pack. I couldn't argue against it. Now I have a few more to set back...like I need anymore stash beers.
• rydawg5

  I just had Southern Pecan from Lazy Magnolia. Delicious!
• Curly J

  

  Just so no one calls Bullshit here's two 4 packs. I still have one bottle set off to the side. Yep that's on top of a Cassano's pizza box.

  Grabbed Magic Hat's new Summer Seasonal today. Elder Betty Elderberry Weiss. A decent Summer beer IMO.

  Just got back from the beer store, while I was there I decided I was going to go back to my old ways and only pick up stuff I've never had before. Ended upa walking out with a bomber of Epic Brewing Imperial Red, 8 Wired iStout (one of the coolest looking bottles I've seen), and a 6 pack of Boulder Hazed and Infused.

  That is pretty cool looking.

  Drinking the iStout right now; it's from New Zealand so I went in not expecting too much but turned out to be a very good Imperial Stout. Not quite on par with others like Rasputin/Speedway/Stone RIS, but I think it was only $6.99 a bottle so it was worth it (also almost 11% abv). It says on the label that it's ready to drink now but can be aged up to 4 years so I will most likely pick up a couple more bottles and taste them over time.
• Curly J

  

  Just popped open an Oaked Arrogant Bastard. Its been a while since I had one and I forgot how good this beer is.
• DeyDurkie5

  

  Curly, I got off work around 5 and didn't feel like going out to jungle jims. We'll have to set that up another time. I did get the dundee sampler pack, and the their stout is awful. hopefully the IPA is better.

  No biggie. I overdone it a little last night so I really felt like veggin' today. It will happen one of these years and I promise I won't drink the KBS I promised you.
  
  I do like the Dundee Honey Brown. Been drinking that even before I became a beer snob.

  Dundee Honey Brown is pretty good stuff. Used to drink it frequently when I still lived in Ohio. Dont see it around here sadly.

  Milk Stout Nitro. Present from my brother for doing the Tough Mudder yesterday. Awesome.
