I'm drinking a Mad River Steelhead Scotch Style Porter. This is the first I've had of this, and I really like the peaty/smokey background notes. A very nice porter.

I drank a bomber of Guinness tonight. I like Guinness without the nitro widget very well. Guinness with the nitro widget, not so much.

8 months has done nothing to this Dave. I know it's against conventional wisdom, but it is what it is. The beer was still very hoppy, both on the nose and in the taste, very crisp and clean, no hint at all of being overly sweet, or malty or any sense of a decline. I'm really, really tempted to go back and grab a second case and drink this all summer:banger

I don't think Lagunitas makes a bad beer. They're all pretty tasty.

Very interesting. I think I will keep a few of my favorite IPAs around for awhile as an experiment to test the waters. If it works out I will keep some of my favorite seasonal IPA's a full year till they come out again. :tu

I've got the day off work tomorrow, so I may just (probably) have a few nice beers tonight. Right now I just opened a bomber of Deschutes Black Butte porter.

I went to the Bryant Lake Bowl in Uptown Minneaspolis for a couple hours tonight, first time there. What a hoot. It's a 1940's bowling alley with a great selection of taps and great foods. I sat at the bar with a fellow whos wife was hosting the "Bowling for Boobs" event to raise money for breast cancer awareness. Very pleasant guy, great cause. Had several great beers on tap; Surly Abrasive Ale, Bells Oberon, Great Divide Hades, and Founder Breakfast Stout. They probably had 12 other raft beers on tap, and lots more in bottles. Most highly recommended, will go back for sure!

Pizza Port makes some really good beer. They won several medals last year at the Great American Beer Festival.

That Dreadnaught is a solid beer. I wish we got 3 Floyds out here in MA.

I had a great beer day yesterday myself! I went to the Boston Bacon & Beer Festival. There were about a dozen Northeastern Breweries represented along with probably 15-20 restaurants serving samples of dishes made with bacon/pork belly. A great time! My favorite beer of the day without a doubt was the Brooklyn Brewery Dark Matter, a brown ale aged in bourbon barrels. Delicious! The IPA from Mayflower brewing (out of Plymouth, MA) was also very delicious. One thing that really surprised me was the number of breweries doing a belgian style beer. It seems a lot of the breweries in the Northeast are not jumping on the IPA train and would rather do a belgian.
