Didn't end up making it to Mikkeller :(

Got stuck at work for a few hours and by the time I got out my friends I was meeting up were getting ready to leave. All well next time.

Drinking the Mango Magnifico now; interesting beer to say the least. Surprisingly I kind of enjoy the heat from habanero but the mango just tastes a bit syrupy. I think it's worth a try, but wouldn't drop another $15 on a bottle.

I've expanded my horizon a bit with my drinking...

Shiner Bock and Dos Equis are some of my preferred drinks now.

I pretty much stick to a select few beers, but I had some Delirium Tremens on tap the other night. Strong and sweet, never had it before, but I've always noticed the bottle and the pink elephant. Work was payin, so why not?

Drank 3, then switched to some Yuenglings...was fawkedd up.

Deschutes Anniversary Black Butte XXV for me tonight, it's alright but nothing amazing. The XXIV was fantastic after a year so I'm hoping this one develops a bit after a year. Litte sweet, dark fruits are over powering and very little barrel. Solid, but not amazing.

I loved this beer. The mango and the heat worked good together.

Yes. Yes it is. The richness of a stout with the bitterness of an IPA.

Reps.

Looks like I might be heading up to Independance Ohio for business October 28th and 29th. Thinking about going up on Saturday with The Wife and hit a few breweries. I know Fat heads is close along with Brew Kettle. Any others I might need to check out that aren't that far away? (I know, let me google that for you) Just give me the names and I can Google them. ;)

Brew Kettle and Hat Heads are ~ 15 min away max. If you go to the west side, there are a few great bars in Tremont/Ohio City. Also I hear a brewery in Willoughby has an amazing Peanut Butter Porter which is supposed to be amazing.

Thanks guys for your inputs. (IOU reps to COA...as always). I'm hoping it all works out and maybe I can swing through Akron and do some beer and cigar trading with OTrap...or even meet up with any of you drunjers up there.

Just got my hands on some Three Floyd's Moloko Milk Stout today. Never saw it. Anyone else had it?
