Thanks. I'll make a point to try both of those.

 

Ohhhh yes to the Athena Paradiso. Had like 4 pours of it at Hunahpu Day. Was insane.

 

Just replied saying the same thing, one of the standouts to me at Huna. Other highlights were 3 Sons Apple Brandy Kona Summation, J Wakefield Desperado, Angry Chair Lemon Fiesta, Jackie O's BA Dark Apparition, Smog City Cuddlebug and everything Casa Agria poured. Cannot say enough about them. You? What were your other favs? Best beer event of the year, IMO.

 

I'll have four pours just for you tonight. 12oz pours, that is!

Hell yes to those two

 

dude, that Allagash White is ridiculously good.

 

I happened to luck out & randomly was the 3rd person back in the right line when they tapped the Apple-Brandy Aged Vanilla Marshal Zhukov. That and the AB Kona Summation were the best two things I drank that day. Athena Paradiso was right behind it, though, for me. Living down here, I've become such a sucker for fruited berlinerweisses.

My other highlights were:
Mazurt's Islay Rye Mazurt
Boneyard's RPM IPA
anything from Civil Society
Aardwolf's Sarah Lovely Dark Sour

 

Love seeing all the Deschutes love

 

Picked up a bottle of this today, and probably won't be able to hold off on drinking it.

 

Wow. That label. Dont forget to wear these sunglasses while drinking it!

 

Haha, I almost ignored it because of the label, but then I saw the description – "Belgian Style Imperial Stout Aged in Oak Bourbon Barrels with Cherries" – and couldn't pass it up.

 

don't really dig Portland Brewing Co. but their S.M.A.S.H. pale ale is good for summer drinking

 

So jealous. But yeah, they don't do tastings at the Fort Point location; only the Canton one.
I have a bottle of their Dialed In Anniversary DIPA that I'm (probably) gonna finally drink sometime this weekend; so excited.

 

going to one of the best liquor stores in the country tonight, gonna get some cool stuff and they have 5 dollar growler fills on some special stuff so yeah, excited

 

enjoying a Smuttynose Finestkind IPA jamming new deftones.

 

Destihl consistently puts out good stuff. I miss going to the brewpub when I was at ISU.

I'm seeing Pig Destroyer tonight and apparently they'll have a special beer called Heathen Temple on tap there that Surly specifically brewed for their shows this weekend. It's a blackened hefeweizen brewed with "Midnight Malt" wheat and blackberries. I'm excited to try it.

 

What store?

 

I really like everything I've tried by them. I was sad I missed out on their Dosvidanya Imperial Stout, but this should be a good substitute.

That Pig Destroyer beer sounds very interesting. I really like blackberries in beer. Which reminded me, I had a Dark Horse blueberry stout last week which was excellent:

Tres Blueberry Stout

 

Expedition is a must-try. Kalamazoo Stout is one I never purchase. I find lackluster in every way.

 

I'd actually wear these.

 

I 2nd the Expediton. It is excellent! That and Breakfast Stout are always in my winter rotation.

 

Be at the Tired Hands Cafe in about 15

 

Expedition Stout only gets better with age, too. Smooths out that bitterness into wonderful chocolate.

 

I have 2 left from the winter. They may stay there until next Christmas.

 

State Line, right on the border of Maryland and Delaware

Just spent 19 bucks for two growler fills and a make your own six pack

 

That place was my go-to when I went to UD. Didn't realize they did growler fills now.
