ok, my bad. It's a Saison, good to know. Either way, delicious.

also had some Lagunitas "sucks" Holiday Ale brown sugar substitute. Not that great, honestly. Not much flavor, mild hops and I didn't really get any brown sugar. Pass next time.

Also tried Dogfish Head Raison, now that is a nice beer! Anybody could enjoy that beer I think.

Also had a Southern Tier 2XIPA, got that great for what's supposed to be an imperial IPA.

Finally had a chance to try Saison Brett at the 3 Floyds 15th Anniversary party - great beer! I wish I remembered it a little better, as that day got progressively hazy, but I do remember really liking it. A buddy recently found a bottle of that locally, so I should have another chance to try it soon - looking forward to it.

And Baller Stout (blend of Darkness, Dark Lord, Beer Geek Brunch, and Black Albert) was pretty outstanding. Being able to blend those 4 beers is alone worth some serious props, but the final product turned out quite well. Looking forward to cracking a bottle after some aging...

I tried the Lagunitas Sucks recently, too - thought it was decent, but not great. Made for a funny exchange with the waitress, though:

Her: "Can I get you something to drink?"
Me: "Lagunitas Sucks"
Her: "Uh...well, you don't have to drink that. We have lots of other beer."
Me: "..."

Made for a good laugh...

Understatement of the day.

Agreed, the time I tried it it was pretty darn good, and everything an IPA should be.

Perhaps. I'll try it again.

I picked up a few of the Trader Joe's Vintage Ale 2011 bombers yesterday.

I know, I know, Trader Joe's, but hey, they have good outfits brewing their beer. In this case, it's Unibroue.

Should be interesting.

They need to come to MN, too. Fortunately, I can get their stuff in WI...

Hooray! Someone fell for it!

Trying the Anchor Porter while taking in the game. Pretty good. I love when the weather gets cold and the store shelves start filling with the darker stuff.
