Lists are just lists...
But this one has some damn fine breweries on it...
Glad to see Schlafly in @ 80... even though they are higher in my book!

Today I had Lagunitas A little sumpin' sumpin' ale. It was a lot like gumballhead but it finished a little more bitter than my liking. Wish that A little sumpin' Wild was still available out by me, loved that stuff.

I'm drinking a bomber of Avery "The Kaiser" that I forgot I had. This is a great Octoberfest, but at 9% abv it's kicking my butt.

Didn't get to try this one this year, and I really wanted to. I love Octoberfests and this one is loved by so many people.

And while I drink the Trout Slayer I can watch the snow on the Trout Cam at the local stream - less than 6 weeks till the season opens!

Good stuff!

Drinking a Three Floyds Pride & Joy right now, not bad either but prefer the AK.

Tony, I'd be interested in your thoughts on the Hoptimum. I had a bottle this weekend and was disappointed. It did have a nice, juicy hop character but was more grapefruity than I anticipated and not as balanced. I think Torpedo is a better beer. YMMV

Last night I tried the Hoptimum. I paired it with a Bespoke cigar that I got from generous friend Seth - landhoney.

I was also disappointed with the Hoptimum. Not sure how to describe it, but it was a little thin on the palate. Just did not have the flavor profile I was expecting. The cigar was enjoyable though.
Glad I have some more Hopslam. :tu

That's it exactly--I wouldn't call it watery, but "thin" is perfect :tu
