    Nothing. I gave up beer for Lent. Stupidest thing I've ever done. Ever.

    MMMMMMMM!

    Tonight it's New Glarus Winter Warmer

    "Indulge in our heady scotch ale. This "Winter Warmer" is a celebration of roasted toffee notes wrapped in rich tawny tones and toasty palate. Two months in the making insures an incredible silky finish."

    I think next week will be Huber Bock or Berghoff Dark.

    Tonight I'll be having a Furthermore Full Thicket, their brand new double IPA at a release party and grand reopening of my favorite beer bar in Milwaukee (Burnhearts). Before I head there I'll enjoy a very tasty 3 Sheeps Ewephoria - a Chocolate Ginger Stout I had once before.

    Recently went on a trip to Omaha and stopped by the Nebraska Brewing company. I did the obligatory sampler so I can try everything but my favorite find was "Romancing The Cone" (as can be seen in my new avatar) a barrel aged West Coast inspired IPA.

    it's PUMPKING time!

    Had a mix of Southern Tier Pumpking and Southern Tier Java (also good with Guinness if there's no Java on tap). I think of all the pumpkin beers out there, Pumpking is my favorite!

    Right now I am on sort of a hard cider kick. Angry Orchard, Crispin, Hornsby...They are pretty refreshing, and even better if you use them as a chaser for fireball shots :drinker: :drinker:

    Went to the Leinie Lodge yesterday. What a deal - they let you sample 5 beers and get you all happy so you buy goodies from the gift shop! Loved it!

    Having a Big Eddy's Wee Heavy Scotch Ale right now. MMMMMMMMMMMMM

    That's a tasty scotch ale, good choice! Tonight's selection will be the same as last night, Lake Placid Ubu Ale. Tasty stuff.

    ENOUGH WITH THE NEW GLARUS BRAGGING, YOU JERK.



    I had a Wynkoop Colorojo the other night - mega-malty Imperial Red. It was a little too much going on for me.

    My my, New Glarus jealousy rears its ugly head - all caps no less.

    Excuse me - but my last post was Leinenkugel bragging.

    I hope you know I was just messin' around... I don't actually think you're a jerk. :cheers:



    No doubt you're keenly aware of the inability for the rest of the world to get their hands on New Glarus - anyone who is not jealous is in denial. ;)


    My current love affair is with Ska Hibernal Vinifera... an oak aged stout fermented with malbec grapes. It's not boozy like a lot of other aged stouts (there's a little hint of it, but nothing burning), and the grapes are there, but you can't quite pick them out and say, "that's a grape." One of the most complex beers I've had in a long time, and somehow really balanced and way too easy to drink.

    No worries! I'm very lucky to be so close to a couple of great breweries.

    That oak aged stout sounds fabulous!! So ready for fall so that the Oktoberfests and darker beers take the place of all the summer beers.

    I was going to suggest a beer swap but just searched and saw that it is illegal to ship beer. Damn.

    Well, it's against the law to ship beer via USPS, but if you send via FedEx, you're only breaking their company policy ... and technically, their policy states that they "will not knowingly ship alcohol" SOOOO take that for what it's worth.. ;)
