    I am so jealous you got to try the barrel aged version of that beer. I had it when I was home in June, I think? So silly good. I'm really hoping GL still has that on tap when I visit next month!

    Now you just need to Uber on over to Platform and give them a whirl :p

    Right now I'm drinking a good barley wine aged in barrels, it's called Insanity by Weyerbacher. My next beer will be Oscar Blue Ten Fidy. That one is my favorite.

    Mmmm Costco had a bottle of Boulevard Smokestack Rye-on-Rye X. It's a barrel aged rye ale. I am so stoked!

    I love my beer store ever more today. Went to pick something up to have while giving out candy tonight and Matt (one of the owners) asked me not to go anywhere. Waited for him to finish up another customer and then came to me and explained they had had a very limited supply (case of 12) of Surly Darkness that they did a raffle to be able to buy one of the bottles. Two of the people never came for their bottle and since he knew I love stouts he offered one to me!!!! This is what I will be enjoying during trick or treat.

    Also splurged on a bottle of Cascade's Apricot Ale.

    Opened the Cascade Apricot Ale for the Packer game. Had picked it over the Strawberry sour as I figured there'd be more flavor. Kinda disappointed as this is the type of sour that has little flavor and just makes my jaws hurts from the tart. Doubt I will try another Cascade as they're too expensive to not enjoy.

    Sour beer is only good for cooking IMO.

    My new obsession is unpasteurized craft beer. While there's a ton of 'em out there, Kona and Sierra Nevada are easily available in my area at random stores.

    I've had a number of really good sours. Just not like this to the point of turning my stomach after half a glass. Sadly I don't see finishing this.

    It can be tough, especially when they are all just so damn hoppy. But that's the norm.
    There are a couple places doing it right where you get the flavor of a craft beer, without hop overload. Bear Roots in my area has a magnificent Red IPA that tastes like a lager. It's wonderful. Ballast Point's IPAs are good too. Especially the grapefruit Sculpin. Mmmmmmmm

    Just keep tastin! You'll find one or two worth keepin around.

    As i type I'm at a very expensive Cantina called Cowan's Public here on the moon of New Jersey. Very swanky. There on Facebook.

    I'd just finished a glass of Elysian "The Great Pumpkin". Suuuuuuuuuuperb! I'm now enjoying an Elysian Punkuccino. Now I detest most coffee beers but this 1 ain't to shabby.

    I'll finish the night with an Elysian "Dark O' The Moon". Details coming soon!

    I think a friend and I are gonna go check out the new-ish self-serve beer place in the LES. Sounds like you put money on a card and then pour as you'd like, pay per ounce.
