Breckenridge's Small Batch 471 packs quite a big punch of flavor. It's intensly hoppy overtones reside into a smooth finish with just a little acidity. 9.2 ABV

Dave's Electic Beer: IPA is a little mild, but the Oatmeal Stout definately makes up for it with lots of oatmeal, chocolate, and toffee. Delicious!

What's New?!

Mikeller " From: To: " is what's new!
A delicious imperial Stout from Denmark
It's aaawwwweeesssooommmee
(note the multiple letters, indicating extra deliciousness...)

How the helldo you pronounce "Geants"?

Noel de Geants, a Belgian strong ale by Braserie de Geants sounds
suspiciously French. It's in Belgium but... Pfft on France!

Nice beer- just what I was looking for tonight after a 5 hour
Bartending shift outside in the cold ;) 55 degree weather.

Served by Papago in a traditional Belgian Tulip glass, it's spicy and
just right sweet and yummy :) Thank you Belgium for your nommy yeasts

Freaktoberfest!

Schmaltz may... Get ready... Be my favorite brewery.

I don't know if I've ever said that before. They do new things, big
things, classic, and subtle things. And they do them all well. This is
not a one horse (hop) brewer. I mean... I'm sortof annoyed by the
"hops or double hops or ULTRA SUPER hops" mentality of some (gigantic)
brewers.

Freaktoberfest is a crazy red colored lager. 6 malts, 6 hops, 6.66 ABV

RED. Colored. RED.

It's yummy though. I'm sick, and apparently the wife is trying to
knock me out, and a nyquil followed by Freaktoberfest fit the bill.

Oh damn, the beer dinner was one thing. Last night was crazy more.

Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast was iiinnnn credible. GodFather and I absolutely loved it- 5 out of 6 in a six pack. My wife gave it only a 3. She explained that it was because it's just not her "style".

The question then lies in... is it fair to rate something lower because it's not your style, or do you simply rate it compared to other beers IN the style. My wife is very in to beer, but the dark porter/stouts, which BGB is a very solid example of, is not one she will choose when given options.

Thoughts can be left under comments.

We also tried the Sam Adams Cherry wheat which I personally thought tasted like cherry air freshener, she liked. Good thing since there is still one in the mix pack from Sam Adams that I got. "It's all you, baby!"

Sam Adams Octoberfest was good- 4 out of 6 in a six pack. Balanced, flavorful. Just good! It's a nice session beer.

Ska Ten Pin Porter. Solid, tho we tasted it after the BGB and it was really tough to not compare the two, though they are WORLDS apart. 4 out of 6

Andrew in the orange, Travis in the blue. Good looking bastards...
