Reserva always is moar better.

Temperature hit 91 degrees today so that means 2009 Peter Michael L Apres Midi.

Hop Rod Rye a little while ago.

Now Chatoe Rogue First Growth Wet Hop Ale

Reserva always is moar better.

No doubt...still had to try it to know for sure -- the difference in price was only a couple dolla. Sometimes "not as good" is still "acceptable". And this certainly is drinkable -- I'll finish the bottle. It's fruitier, so someone who likes fruitier may prefer it. It...just...me personally I won't get any more.

On deck: the Privada.

Now enjoying very much a glass of Barrel Aged 2009 Bolita Brown Double Nut Brown Ale and toasting Young Matt who sent it to me last year. Thanks Matty! Also toasting Dinny on his trip to the Cigar City state, and the good health of our extended HC family. Cheers!

Looks yummy Al!

Tried a very small Manhattan with VW Rye.....so much better than an Eagle Rare Manhattan but I can afford to use the VW for a cocktail. Cheers!

It is remarkably yummy, Raffy! I think this beer is so much his style that Dusty would jizz after one sip!

The Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye is hard to beat. I'm going to line up Saz18, Thos. Handy, and VW and see which i like the most. They are different animals to some extent though, so variety is good regardless.

Just had a bottle of Dogfish Worldwide Stout a couple hours ago. Quite possibly the best beer i've had in my life! the fact that it has almost 20% alcohol makes it taste like a fine sweet cognac

CCB Either to go with my NY Strip Steak + Wilted Spinach. Fucking Orgasmic!

Just delicious. But you'd have to like sweet lambics.

That NY Strip was pretty tasty, too! Sorry about the crayons.

Dammit you guys! You're making me want to go eat steak tonight!

2Bros North-Wind then Tyranena Dirty Old Man Imperial Rye Porter Aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels...part of their Brewers Gone Wild! series of big, bold, ballsy beers...heh...pleasant but not challenging...i'm a sucker for rye, but i probably won't bother with this after the 4-pack...
