I appreciate that hard-won knowledge.....it will help me greatly as I hunt for the perfect beer for me.
Not really a IPA guy, and the stouts I love can get to be a bit much, especially in the deep south,
of which I am not in but feel right now as if I was. HEY, LOOK, A COOL FRONT NEXT WEEK....only 94.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

yeah it was nuts, one great beer after another

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

No kidding. You had way better stuff this weekend than I had.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Wow, Tony, awesome set-up! :tu

Just finished a kayaking weekend with some buddies. No pictures of beer but we enjoyed:

Union Jack IPA by Firestone-Walker
Belgian Brown by Blue Mountain Brewery
Dark Hollow (nitro tap) by Blue Mountain
Dale's Pale Ale
Summer Solstice by Anderson Valley (they call it a Cream Ale, but it's really more like a Cream Soda Ale--very vanilla & perfumey)
Bell's Two Hearted Ale
Wrecking Bock by Castle Hollow Brewery ;)
Hops.I.Am (2012) by Castle Hollow

And one of my friends brought a 4 year old bottle of his still mead (17%) and a carbonated ginger mead (very dry) that we split.

Good times :noon

Ruination 10th

It's a good beer standing on its own. However it doesn't seem all that much like Ruination. Ruination is this dry, bitter beer that's all buttering hops. I guess to get the higher alcohol in the 10th they had to increase the malt to an extent that it is more noticeable - the overall balance changes from utter imbalance to something not quite as extreme. Again it's a good beer, just not what I was imagining. I'd say it reminds me more of Lagunitas Maximus than of regular Ruination.

Still love the label though :D

Rocky River Black Magic Coffee Stout on Sunday, thanks to that TOE right above me!! :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Actually Long Trail Brewmaster Series Coffee Stout but the other one sounds good too :D
Glad I could see you Tom even if only briefly.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

It was great to see you too, Julian, twice this year already! :)

Damn, I thought the name had a "river" in it.....well, you know I liked it, I killed off most of the growler myself. :D
