nearing nap time...

Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca... then we killed the keg of Arrogant Bastard on tap in my friend's garage...so then he put on a keg of Founders Breakfast Stout:)... I had a Fresh Hop version of Deschutes Mirror Pond...& some Glenlivet Nadurra... he's trying to kill a few of his kegs before the deep freeze...I'm hoping to stop by again tomorrow... home now & having some Flat12 Half Cycle (IPA) Reserve...their usual aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels....got a growler...not bad...

Sam Adams Tasman Red... not great, but not bad either...no complaints for a $7 bomber (that's cheap for Indy)... my wish is that someone in this thread'll name their child Peat...

Sam Adams The Vixen Chocolate Chili Bock... about as good as it sounds...

^^just an FYI, Westvleteren 12 is coming to the U.S. next year via Shelton Brothers...probably a one time deal to raise money for the monastery... same six packs with glass that they recently sold in supermarkets for €25...it's expected to be over $100 when it hits here ~April...

Founders Centennial IPA....watchin' Community...

well...the race has been pushed back a year... I'd rather go to the New Jersey Grand Prix now...

Founders Imperial Stout... yes, indeed...

my last can of Surly Wet...2nd this season only to Founders Harvest as far as wet-hopped beers...but still lovely...

Faithfull might be worth it...& there's a new batch of Bitches Brew (3rd batch) that'd be worth it...but you're right to pass...imho....

I sent him enough for that post to be accurate:)...& I'm sendin' you a lil' somethin' you might like... moved onto a Thomas Hardy's Ale...one that I normally avoid due to price...but they broke up a 4-pack for me...this one's a 2008...

Sam Adams Third Voyage Double IPA....not great, but not expensive either...

had a flight of Triton Brewing beers...they're yet another new Indiana brewery (we won our bid for the next beer bloggers conference btw)...I'd say Wheat > IPA > > Stout > Amber, but none were worth writing home about... sampled Mad Pumpkunhead...heh... now a pint of FFF Pride & Joy...

Sam Adams Griffin's Bow Oaked Blonde Barleywine Ale... love oaked IPAs, but barleywines?...don't know...it almost works...but...no...

Surly Wet...

Brooklyn Chocolate Stout's a great cold weather beer...hope my friend has it on tap in his garage again this year:)... Founders Breakfast Stout's got a much stronger coffee taste than KBS....I think KBS strikes a much better balance, but it's a moot point since KBS is so much harder to come by....I'd be happy if I had enough Breakfast Stout to drink it for breakfast for the better part of a month...yea vote here:)... I'm in a Floydsy mood...Moloko & Alpha Klaus here...

had an Alpha King then called it quits...but can't sleep...not because I'm not tired, but because when I came back two of the guys meant for the floor were sleeping where I was sleeping earlier... in the lobby...thinking about fashioning a newspaper blanket...

Gumballhead on tap at The Charley Horse outside our hotel in Munster...

did a nice 10th & 15th Anniversary comparison... managed to talk someone out of opening this...doh...but he didn't know what he had...hopefully, I'll run into one at some tasting...

what a clusterfuck....I had some Mikkeller To: From....some F FF Hessian Smog... few other things...but we headed back to the hotel early...

gotcha...see a guy in a Cantillon shirt, brown jacket black hat...will try & find ya once...it's hectic...

where are you in line?...whatcha wearing?...

bottlewise, got my 3 Anniversary beers...& a Brandy Barrel Dark Lord... pours are expensive...

I'm in a fucking tent... had some FFF Baller Stout (XV)...& some Mikkeller Boogoop...
