Switching to liquor for a second, we'll be in Lebanon, KY this coming week. There's a distillery there called Limestone Branch. Is this a name that's known to people who drink more hard liquor than we do (basically none)? Worth a few hours for tour/tasting?

The bourbon is average but I’ve heard amazing things about the tour. Everyone seems to say it’s one of the best tours on the bourbon trail.

Justin did you see the beer festival they (Dankhouse) are planning. They have some really good breweries from across Ohio planning to be there. Crooked Pecker is exceptional. 

It’s the first weekend I will be back in Ohio so unfortunately I think I will miss it. :(

I have my early entry tickets for saturday.

Might see you there.

Picked up at Giant Eagle today. 

19.99 on sale plus $5 rebate

The 2X is good. Just don’t drink it 1st or you will be disappointed in the rest 

From experience, I would drink from right to left. An impressive tasting

Got some Great Lakes Tidal Fury earlier.

I agree.

The first one I grabbed was the 2X and I’m like….mmm….not just yet.  Tried the others first.

I like IPAs as much as the next but that box is a little much for me. I’d like to try the Fresh Hop Freddy though. 

I usually alternate light beers with my IPA’s

Picked up a 6 pack mix today at Primo’s in Akron.

From left to right the alcohol percent  is 11, 11, 9, 9, 6.2, 5.2. 

Any comments on this box?

All kinda so-so.

I would agree. OK, but nothing to write home about.

I actually like the Busch Light Apple. 

50 West German Pilsner. It was okay. 

Going to have a lot of different samples tonight. It's time for Jungle Jim's Beer Fest. The Wife and I are going both nights.

I have got to find one of those stores to visit. I think the closest one to me is in Cincinnati.

Fairfield, just northwest of Cincinnati. I live about 5-8 minutes from it. Was just there yesterday for their Cigar Event.

My son has been there and told me it’s amazing.

I wasn’t even aware of this.

Picked up one of these at the gas station:

When I got home, I noticed the unusual can size.  Never had one like this:
