Ended up with the 21st Anniversary Fresh Hop, and I'm enjoying it very much. Also got a 4 of Dark Truth.

Was going to get this Saison which I can't remember the name of. Has a bird on the bottle and is from a brewery in the Northwest. It was cheaper than Tank 7, so I was curious to see how it held up. Will get it next time.

I'm guessing La Merle from North Coast. It's pretty average.

Yes. That was it. I figured with the price that it wasn't spectacular.

It isn't like you're going to hate it. It isn't poor by any means. It's a shame that it is a pretty average beer, though; North Coast makes two great beers (Old Rasputin Imperial Stout & Old Stock Ale) but Le Merle doesn't come close to ranking amongst them.

I remember this came up over on my whiskey forum...here's some info:

Enjoyed my virgin bottle of Harvest Dance tonight. Absolutely wonderful.

I'm only a little way in but I think Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Wild Ale may be the worst of the bunch I picked up. It's not undrinkable like others I've had but it's just meh. Maybe that'll change by the end of the bottle.

place close to me opened up selling growlers

picked up a terrapin wake-n-bake imperial stout...kind of like a lesser Yeti, but still very good and tasty, big flavor...

and to change it up, a Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner for some friends tomorrow...never tried it

Wake-n-Bake is pretty darn good. A lesser Founders Breakfast Stout. I'll be drinking the shit out of it once the bottles get into Alabama.

yeah, actually i am loving it

i found a bar today with founders on tap...$8 a pint...i'll pop sometime

got a 64 oz growler of wake-n-bake for $10

I enjoyed that one in bomber form but haven't had it in a 6er.

Had some Double Arrogant Bastard earlier and it was fairly nice.

It actually turned out decent. Better than the first fourth. It's not something I'd seek out to have but it's something I wouldn't turn down if presented it.

Can't say I have had anything from Lagunitas that was not at least decent.

picked up a growler of north coast old rasputin


time to warm up...
