Well fuck me, every place I've gone to is already sold out of Warlock. Just bought a few bottles of Pumking instead to drown my sorrows and just killed the first one.

I tried it, it listed a comparable beer once in 20 tries. I trust the above three posters more.

True, but it says "Fuck InBev" on every page. When I checked out what it would say for Miller Lite it responded "Go Fuck Yourself" and bud light told me to "Go Fuck Your Dad"

Brought teh lulz.

It told me once (for entering Dogfish Head 90 minute) "YOU FUCKED YOUR SISTER" which I thought was funny. Though it would be sweet if they got the recommendations to actually be good.

It called me MCDIPSHITPANTS. Maybe it got me confused with IWP.

No lulz. That was a true story bro. I tried a couple of other locals and got 'shit' as a response. Just lucky that time I guess.

Zombie Dust

Now they want to "fuck [my] mouth raw."

Seems like you'd avoid that kind of behavior with a herpesmonger.

So I'm in Portland for my brother's wedding, went to a nice seafood place for dinner tonight. They of course only had local brews on tap. Started with a Rogue Dead Guy Ale. It was delicious. Next up was a very, very local brew; Burnside Brewing Company. Had their IPA. It was a top 5 IPA I've had. Of course, it is so local that you can only get it here. Brewery was literally 2 streets over from the restaurant I was at.

They had some others on their list, but only had those 2. I'm hoping tomorrow night brings more.

Shipyard Pumpkinhead

Medium height white head, but super carbonated, and evaporated almost immediately.

It's pretty light in color. Maybe barely darker than a pils.

Mouthfeel is light, and the carbonation is pronounced.

Nose offers just barely a spice note. Mostly just barley, otherwise.

Taste is the best part. It's unique. It almost tastes like a spiced pumpkin bread. It's not so sweet and rich to compare to a pumpkin pie, but the pumpkin is more pronounced than others.

I'd give it a firm 7-out-of-10.

Didn't realize Nosferatu was out already. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Founders All Day IPA

Probably a plumb line for session IPAs. The head is off-white and it dissipates somewhat quickly. Color is a dark amber with just a little cloudiness. Malts and sour fruits on the nose. Light and lightly carbonated mouthfeel. Nominally sweet front end, and a bitter, bitter bite on the back end. Reminds you a lot of a grapefruit.

It's solid, though. It might be just a least bit heavy in how hard it relies on the fruit taste for its complexity, but then again, a session IPA isn't supposed to be too rich or complex. All in all, it's a solid 8-8.5 out of 10.
