I'm in the minority but I kind of like Corona. It's not my favorite beer and it wouldn't be my first choice but I will drink it occassionally. I do like it better with lime.

Heavy Seas Loose Cannon IPA and Conways Irish Ale last night as well as several of our homebrew chocolate stouts.

Drank way too much.

I understand it when eating Mexican food or whatever but for that I'd much rather have Dos Equis Amber with lime. It's actually really nice that way.

Nice. I'll give it a shot the next time I hit the Mexican restaurant.

Had a couple of Star Hill Northern Light drafts with lunch today. They were awesome, I'd get them again for sure.

Had a GL Edmund Fitz, on tap, with my dinner yesterday. It was better than in the bottle which I've only had in the past. When we were about done with dinner I watched the other waitress break out a bottle at the other end of the bar...Hopslam. So for desert the wife and I had 2 1/2 Hopslams each. I know the owner and the night we found Hopslam, this year, we gave a Sixer of it to him. I never thought I'd be buying part of it back at over a 100% markup...lol. No choice as the store is still out of it and The Wife finished off our supply a few days ago. Actually, He had three bottles left when we were done, so he was able to get some from the Distributor and I wasn't buying my own beer back. She thought about buying those to take home with us, as they have a carry out license, but we didn't.

Running some errands yesterday after work and walked by a pub during HH. Decided to stop in for a pint. Saw that they had Racer 5 on tap and went with that. I believe a poster in here was talking about going to their brewery or something and gave it a good reccomendation. It was pretty good I thought. Seemed to be less bitter for an IPA which I enjoyed. I'd get it again.

I've only had their Racer 5, Hop Rod Rye, and Red Rocket. I enjoyed them all.

Had a 90 minute on tap Tuesday. Good stuff lots of depth and suprisingly high drinkability, buzzed off one. Which led to 2 skunked Amstel lights that had beed in the fridge for 2 months when I got home. Bad bad bad, but I still drank them both.

Had a bit of a blow off with the double IPA today but I got it under control so no harm was done. I should have made sure to rig a blow off tube knowing the OG was so high and that I double pitched yeast. This beer is going to be excellent.

Cannot fucking sleep so I'm drinking a couple 21st Amendment Brew Free or Die IPAs hoping it will help. Now realize I probably should have drank the Double Bastard sitting in my fridge, that would put me out for sure.

Double Bastard is the equivalent of a bottle of Ambien.

Big fan of the Double Bastard. Probably my favorite beer over the past few months.

Well it's Cincinnati Beer Week. If you are in the area maybe you should check out some of the happenings. http://cincinnatibeerweek.com

We will be heading to Jungle Jim's for the Collaboration Barleywine Tasting.

Too bad Miller isn't participating in any of the events, as they have a huge brewery north of Cincy in Trenton. (sarcasm font)
