Wrecking my palate.

One of my favorite, readily available beers that never disappoints.

Enjoying a 7venth Sun Mangrove DIPA from my well traveled growler...

StrangeGator · 02-17-2013, 09:52 PM

Had a nice variety of the weekend, starting with a Six Point Resin, then a DFH Burton Baton. Saturday night, had a bomber of Left Hand Hop Juice, a very strong and flavorful DIPA, followed by one more bottle of Burton Baton. Tonight, I had a bomber of Stone Cali-Belgique DIPA. Forgot how flavorful that was.

Can't say how impressed I am with the Burton Baton. It was all I could do to stash away two of those bottles. That might be my favorite beer right now.

I was going to drink a Hopslam for my night cap after my Two Hearted are gone...but I think you've convinced me to drink Burton again.

Great beer surprise today. Went to get a buddy of mine one of the last hopslams at the liquor store and look up to find 3 selections of Cigar City staring me in the face!. I gave up beer during the week for lent, but stole a sip of my wife's Jai Alai. Delicious! Really stoked about that.

Which ones ?

Enjoying a Tocabaga while de-labeling bottles. I hope when they switch to canning it that distro to Orlando resumes.

Jai alai, maduro brown, and the cracker white.

Only bought the jai alai today. It was canned 2-13-13. About as fresh as it gets.

My thoughts exactly! It's rare to find it anymore outside of the Tasting Room.

Nice! I haven't found much fresh Jai Alai lately. Whole Foods in Orlando had a bunch on sale, $8.99 a six. I was about to pounce then realized it was all Dec. 1 and prior.

I haven't seen Amy fresher than Jan 3rd recently.

So glad I saved two warm Hopslams for my cellar. I now have those two, plus two DFH 120s, two Breckenridge 471 Small Batch double IPAs, and two DFH Burton Batons. Still looking to add a couple of bottles of Zombie Dust.

How was the Ghandi Bot? Always wanted to try it simply because of the label.

StrangeGator · 02-18-2013, 11:57 PM

Ray has inspired me for my tasting. My buddy Eric is an accomplished photographer. Will have to purchase some decent glassware for the occasion, but will also have to get Eric to have his camera, lights, jelled lenses, etc. for the occasion. Might as well get him to through in a shot of his hot wife. She'll probably be keeping up with us drinking martinis. Maybe she'll bring a friend over. Probably not.

How'd the photo come out? Dr Frtiz Briem Berliner Weisse

Fresh growler of Chicory Dickory Choc picked up today.
