. My cousin lives in Scottsdale and brought me a bottle of this last week, at 19% it was pretty good. I like tequila and this had that agave flavor. This is Sonoran 200 from Sonoran breweries.

Happen to go to Volksfest and bump into Justincredible. That's meeting two OC'ers in two weeks at breweries. Actually it's meeting two OC'ers too many now that I think about it.

Am I the only one irritated seeing the shelves flooded with Octoberfest beers in July? I love Sam Adams and Great Lakes Octoberfest but want to drink them when it's cool out, not the middle of summer.

I concur. I refuse to buy it now. I'll wait until closer to the true time...like when the Pumpkin Ales come out.

We tried...lol. Was really surprised by some of the beers we had. All of them were beers we never had before and all local. So glad we have great breweries in Cincinnati once again.

Seems like Untappd gets blown the Fuck up every Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Shame that they have a weaker server(s) than our Asshat Leader has. Side note it was good to see Justin this past weekend. (actually it was better to see his Wife...not sure how he pulled that tail) ;)

Nope. Can't wait for some of the good Pumpkin beers to arrive. i.e. HF Hollow Double Pumpkin and ST Pumking! YUM!

Had a Rivertown Winter Ale with Dinner last night. It went perfect with French Toast, berries, and sausage links.

My favorite pumpkin beers are Saranac Pumpkin Ale (my go-to), Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin Ale, DFH Punkin' Ale.

As big of a pumpkin beer fan as I am and I love almost everything I have tried from Southern Tier....Pumking was a big letdown IMO.

I bought some Pumking last week. There's a store that has it basically year round, no idea how or why they get so much if they don't sell out.

Just had my last Pumking tonight from last year. Accidentally placed 3 of them in my stash. Damn good still. Looking forward to it fresh this year.

Tried the Hanssens Lambic Experimental Cassis. Brewed with Black Currents and aged in oak. Awful nose, but tasted good. I realize now that I am not a current fan. Everything I've had with currents smells like shit on the nose...Literally.

I had several Dos Perros from Yazoo Brewery in Nashville last weekend. Needless to say I was a big fan.

Burger beer so far tonight. I'll drink this American Style Lager over the other Big Brews of the same style. Mainly because it's locally owned...and cheaper too. I do have an AleSmith Brown Ale on deck, and a 2012 Choklat chilling.
