Black Friday? Nope.
I’d much rather do this. Enjoy running around for beer/random things!

MF Doom?
Drank this last night, still Upright’s best beer! A+
Oh yeah, no sharing this time. Drank the whole thing!
Hayao Miyazaki….and beer
Great combo, I need to watch more of this man’s movies.
Commons Emelie: Doing well!
Deschutes Abyss 2013: Yep, this is a great beer. Can’t wait to put a year+ on this guy. A-
Hill Farmstead Brother Soigne: I love this beer, definitely the best non-barrel aged saison they make. A
De Garde Vin Rougie: This beer gushed a decent amount when I opened it, but it was totally worth it! A
Deschutes Black Butte XIII: No more heat to be found, but it’s still delicious. A
New COD + Booze
Played the new Call of Duty with a friend last night. Pretty decent game, but I really just miss the good old CoD4 days. I’m an old crotchety man I guess.
Prairie Merica: Nice saison, but I have yet to have a saison from them that matches the likes of Hill Farmstead and Upright. B
Wait, that’s not beer. Don’t care, it’s awesome.
Also not beer, but tastes like coconuts.
Hill Farmstead Arthur: most recent batch, and it’s surprisingly sour. I have high hopes for aging this sucker. A-
Why do these happen on weeknights
Yes, I don’t have any answers for you. This happened Wednesday…..
WHAT IS THIS?! A BOTTLE FOR ANTS?! Seriously, it’s tiny.
Hill Farmstead Harlan: Very good, but not very complex. I find most Hill Farmstead hoppy beers to be good, but 1 dimensional. Oh dear, I can already see people reaching for their pitchforks. Crap.
Cigar City Leon: Faded, but still great. Should have drank this earlier.
Yes, yes let’s go ahead and follow a barrel aged barleywine with another barrel aged barleywine. Great ideas happen this way.
Deschutes Abyss
Yay.
Bailey’s Belgian Fest
After Block 15 I took some time to recover and then headed down to Bailey’s Taproom for their Belgian beer event.
Dat back.
De Garde Morningstar: How the hell this beer is 15.4% is beyond me. Besides a little bit of heat on the back end, I would have no idea. This stuff could get dangerous quick! Not my favorite beer from De Garde, but there are definitely people who are going to scramble for a super clean high ABV beer. B
Block 15 Framboise Rouge: This beer is right up my alley. A
Ale Apothecary La Tache (left) and Burnside Brewing Gin Barrel Kali Ma with Mangoes (right): La Tache was a mustard bomb, do not recommend from cask. On the other hand, Kali Ma was great!
Framboise White and Figgy Pudding
Drove down to Block 15 on Saturday for the Framboise White and Figgy Pudding release. As usual, we had made reservations at Les Caves for brunch, which guarantees us bottles from Block 15. It’s a pretty sweet deal.
Block 15 Tropical Storm: Probably Block 15’s most sought after beer among trading circles. Made with papaya, and it really tasty. Great consolation prize for showing up early and waiting in line.
Block 15 Framboise White: Taste is incredible up front, with aggressive tartness with nice raspberry flavor. Back end was very buttery when it was cold, but disappeared once the beer warmed up. This is going to be incredible with time. A-
Official sandwich of Beertrading.org – the Reuben.
Block 15 Figgy Pudding: This beer tastes like Autumn without using pumpkins. Thank god. 10/10 would chug again.
Huh, about those Block 15 whalez….
Awww yisssssss.
Abyss 2013
Went to Deschutes Thursday evening for the release of Abyss. Unfortunately they were out of bottles. Oh well, at least I can get the Library flight of beers:
Man, this is going to be delicious….
FUCK, they’re out of that too.
Oh well, regular glass of Abyss it is!
Best vintage fresh since 2010! Really, really nice. I wish I had bottles. God dammit I’m going to have to run around and look for it a stores now.
Also, food.
Some Random Brews
A friend and fellow beer geek visited from Nashville, so we got together at Beermongers for a few brews.
Westbrook Hughey: One of my first Westbrook beers, quite nice! B+
HEADY TOPPER OUT OF A GLASS?!
Hill Farmstead Phenomenology of Spirit: Might be my favorite non-fruited dark sour. Blindsided by this one. A-/A
Hill Farmstead Birth of Tragedy: It has bubbles now! Definitely on par with BCBVS now. A+
Rounding out the night with De Garde Bu Weisse, Bear Republic Tartare, and Boneyard Suge Knite
