I don't care for that. I keep having people giving it to me and then I have to try and pawn it off on others.

I remember enjoying it when I tried it at beerfest
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Poperings Hommel Bier. A bit different than expected, but most excellent!

For the past 2 weeks I've been drinking Trinidads finest "Stag lager". Can't wait to get home and have some real beer.

I'm sipping my APA right now in anticipation of mouth watering ribs and will break open a bottle of Glenfeddish to cap the night with.

Well, I can't say it was tonight, but A and I just got back from a trip home to Denver. First was a stop at the Falling Rock Tap house:
DSCF1162.JPG
Ask Jeff or Greg, it is a required stop if you go to the GABF. The highlight there for me was Left Hand's Milk Stout on Nitro. :drool:

Next it was over to a friends to pick up the stash she had been saving for us. X)

Finally, it was over to a favorite liquor store for a few things to bring back.

Sorry Tim, but the Stone Ruination 10th Anniversary was not due in for 2 more days before we left. Hopefully, our friend will get a couple to stash for us for our next visit so we can send one your way.

Still hoppy :spilly:

Drinking a few beer. Started with a pair of homebrews from friends: Dubbel from TimGr, and a cider from ... someone. Thanks to whomever gave me a grolsch bottle of cider. Maybe Jimmy? Frig, I should really drink these right away or mark them.
And thanks to Michelle for buying my beer at Rockbottom today. If I ever meet you or figure out who the heck you are, that'll be nice.
