    I've been looking for that Anderson Valley one. My local liquor store has had others of the brewery, but not that yet.

    Opened the Dogfish Head Saison du Buff. Very tasty ale brewed with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. (Can't help but chuckle while tying that.)


    Oh and FamousAmos, whenever you come to visit we will take a trip to the store and find some good ones to try.

    Any day I can get my hands on Deschutes Obsidian Stout is a good day.

    A friend of mine and his fiance have decided to give up drinking. They gave me a fair amount of their stash. Don't mind if I do! [​IMG]

    Oude Tart! I want to try that so badly! And from what I remember that Apex Predator from off color is really good. Nice haul!

    You can't get Oude Tart there? Perhaps a future trade is in order. I can get it fairly easily. Don't get it often though because of the price. It's fantastic though.

    We get Bruery out here (and I've been fortunate to share a few with friends) but I also just shy away from the price. I know it's worth it but I am pooooor hahaha

    Opened the Trixie's Kiss for the Packer game. Sadly it's not up to what I've come to expect from Mob Craft. Decent stout, and a bit minty, but not nearly as flavorful on the chocolate as many of Southern Tier's chocolatey stouts.

    Vacation starting so opened the Hoppin' Frog Frosted Frog Christmas Ale. It is Christmas in a bottle. It smells and tastes a bit of pine though I don't see anything in the ingredients.

    I need to give Hoppin' Frog more of a chance. I've only had one or two of their beers and I don't know why I haven't tried more.

    I have a slew of great beer I will be enjoying once after tonight, once my vacation starts. I'll be sure to share about my conquests here. Stoked to My Blueberry Nightmare!

    I've had a couple phenomenal holiday beers. I will say the Hoppin Frog, Frosted Fog was better. Probably my favorite so far.

    7 Swans a Swimming is ridic. I had it in a flight, thought maybe it would be too sweet to go whole hog? But man. It made me feel so happy.

    Back in Ohio and thoroughly enjoying Ohio beers! My parents had a Great Lakes Christmas Ale waiting for me at the airport, haha, plus a 6-pack at home each of Christmas Ale and Fat Head's Holly Jolly! Today picked up a few bottles...Deschutes Jubelale, New Holland Monkey King, and Great Lakes Blackout Stout. So much beeeeer!

    While watching some fourth Doctor tonight, enjoying some Dragons Milk. Also just opened my Anderson Valley Pinchy Jeek Barl. Pumpkin ale ages in Wild Turkey barrels. I'm a sucker for pumpkin beer and this one is really good. The Wild Turkey is very mild on the aftertaste. Lovely.
