Had my first CohiBrew DIPA from Castle Hollow Brewery

last night.

Very true to the style, 8.4% ABV, fruity malt with some nice hop complexity, dry finish, might need more time in the bottle. Good thing I have about a case of it!

When I get home from work, I've got an appointment with a couple of Dirty Bastard's.

Picked up a 6 pack of Summit's Belgian Style Golden Ale. I like this, but wish it were a little bit more carbonated. Great value for $8 per 6'er though. I'm on my second one, and I think that will be as much as I need for tonight. Picked up 2 bombers of Pumking too.

Bells Two Hearted ale.

BeerAdvocate · 09-13-2010, 08:17 PM

SamAdams Harvest Pumpkin Ale

b0rderman · 09-13-2010, 08:41 PM

Just opened the last beer in my SA Harvest pack...an Irish Red, not a bad beer but I am wishing it was any of the others in there. I think an Old Rasputin is next, or maybe something more celebratory if the Rockies can mount a comeback.

Pumking

It was good but 22oz is too much of this...so I mixed the last half with a FBS and found a good drink.

Tonight will be Goose Island Pepe Nero, Bourbon County, Bourbon County Coffee, and Bourbon County Vanilla.

I'll probably also have a Sofie and Matilda in between the Bourbon Counties.

Heck, I might also do an Old Raspy or two since they have it on draft too!

Jealous, very jealous. I need to get down to the Lou!

Might have to try that. Reminds me of an article I read recently where bartenders are becoming creative with beer, blending microbrews and even using them to sub for liquor in cocktails.

I agree. Pumking is best shared with someone else. Although I did drink an entire bottle one night last year while watching a world series game.

St. Lou Stu · 09-14-2010, 09:15 AM

Goose Island Invasion was pretty damned good.
I had pints of:
Sofie
Matilda
Old Raspy
IPA
Pepe Nero
Bourbon County Coffee (only a 5oz.'er)
Bourbon County Vanilla

This morning is rather slow going.
I vaguely remember a large bar bill. :/

BeerAdvocate · 09-14-2010, 10:42 AM

Do you remember how the Bourbon County Vanilla was?
I cant wait to "try" to get my hands on that one!

The Vanilla was AWESOME.
For being rather fresh (As I imagine it is), it tasted really good.
To me, the Vanilla was right at the edge of being too pronounced though.
As I was drinking it I found myself thinking that it was too much, then it wasn't, then it was.....
Maybe age would do it some good?

I wasn't at all impressed by the Pepe Nero.

Jbailey · 09-14-2010, 06:13 PM

Had a bottle of Dogfish Head Pangaea while I cooked some pork on the weber.

Got a bottle of GI Night Stalker cooling down now.

BlackDog · 09-14-2010, 06:22 PM

Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Wild. A Belgian-style IPA. Not too far from a DIPA, but a little more attenuated than a normal DIPA. Pretty good, especially for $4.49 per bomber.

b0rderman · 09-14-2010, 06:34 PM

Matilda on tap in proper fancy boy glass...moving onto Cheeky Monk's anniversary party in an hour, Belgian madness will ensue.

Jbailey · 09-14-2010, 08:19 PM

Last snifter of GI Night Stalker. Very tasty!

Bill86 · 09-15-2010, 04:18 PM

Victory Storm King Imperial Stout
