Been a rough few days. LOL

But yeah, some weeks, I don't have anything. Others, I'll drink twice.

Fun fact: If you've just eaten a bunch of dinner mints, your last swig of IPA will taste like vomit.

Fun answer: If you did that, it probably WAS vomit you were tasting.

$36 on beer without knowing that you like it, sounds reasonable.

I've been putting away a lot of Hop JuJu lately. I just love that stuff.

Actually, It was me that suggested that she buy it! ;)

And Curly, I agree on The Hop JUJu. Solid imperial IPA. I have it a notch better than The DFH 90.

Nice!

I also took it easy this weekend, had a Double Browns brewed with Hazelnut by Tahoe Mt Brewing which was solid. On the look out for Stone IRS which came out today!

I'm not much of a stout drinker. Is it a "flat" beer?

and they didn't even have it. shameful

my beer dealer hadn't even heard of it. So picked up Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout

Really good reviews on BA and RateBeer but Imma give it a 6/10. Typical smokey, roasted malt flavor but still pretty plain. The blueberry is almost in aroma only

he's heard of bells, just not cherry stout.

That said it wasn't the owner, just the clerk who usually runs the store
