I was in Thailand so I had some Beer Chang. I like Beer Chang. Unfortunately most of the time the people who were ordering/paying kept getting Tiger. Not terrible, but Chang is nicer.
My casked Hopslam in the foreground, my girlfriend's Goose Island Lolita in back. Also had a Bell's Lager with dinner. It paired nicely with their mess of fries, beans, black pudding, Scottish sausage, eggs, and curry sauce. I am so satisfied with everything tonight.
Lagunitas made into the local area recently and had the Sucks for the first time. Its so good even the wife likes it. Need to venture back across the river to snag more Lagunitas brews.
Imagine what "cheese' could exist if someone tried to copy Velveeta.

Make sure you read the bottom of the 6 pack and the label.
I am loving this Smuttynose Noonan Black IPA. Big hop bite right off the bat with all that luscious weight and depth of roasted malt like you get in a porter. Yummy. Gonna sip a few and play Minecraft and Diablo and wait for the snow to start falling.

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but it looks like some of y'all are freezing up here in the Midwest so:
If you're ever in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan for some reason AND it's between December and March, do yourself a favor and go have an Impervious Imperial Stout from the Mt. Pleasant Brewing Company's taproom. Hot daaaaaamn, son. Think ahead and bring a growler to fill... you'll thank me.

I'm drinking Limbo IPA from Long Trail Brewing Company right now. It's one of those beers that have been hitting shelves featuring Australian hops, and I have to say the result is really good. Like, really. It's very smooth but still has that IPA floral hoppiness. The flavor profile is super well-rounded, so you're not overwhelmed by anything. People should definitely try it if they like IPAs.

Back half of a growler of WFO IPA is taking me into the weekend.
For my money, this one and RPM from Boneyard are 1A and 1B for 'best IPA in Oregon'. Order entirely dependent on what one was last in my glass.

Speaking of local brewer, I just had a pączki ale last night. My friends and I agreed that we're not sure it was good exactly, but it was successful in its goals, even if it was just a gimmick. I mean, it tasted pretty much exactly like a jelly donut. It turns out that they actually add actual pąckzis at some point in the process, which explains the cloudiness. Wish I'd snapped a picture...
Got my growler filled up at the local brewery with Hopscenity which is a good IPA. It's killing me that they stopped doing growlers of their double IPAs. They have one called Hopsessed which is 9.5% or so ABV and a new one called Stink Fist which was 10.2% that I wanted a growler of, but they denied me. I really need to try their food and actually drink there sometime so I can drink all the beers they won't put in my growler.
Now this is more like it, I have never had ANY of these. The only thing I would've picked out for myself is that Sunken Ferry Stout.
Estaminet - Euro Pale Lager from Brouwerij Palm in Belgium
Jever - German Pilsener from Friesisches Brauhaus in Germany
Lazy Saison - Farmhouse Ale from Lazy Magnolia in Mississippi
Sunken Ferry Stout - American Stout from Fire Island in New York
Old Golden Hen - English Bitter from Greene King / Morland in the UK
KelSo Pilsener - Czech Pils from KelSo in Brooklyn, NY

I have heard of Lazy Magnolia before in a "wait, Mississippi brews beer?" kind of way.
The guy I was talking to at the time RAVED about some Pecan-based beer they had - curious if they can do a decent farmhouse.

I think I love all of the smaller release beers Sierra Nevada does. Beer Camp #94 they're black IPA so good, Narwhal is just fucking dope, and now I'm drinking the Bigfoot Barley Wine style ale and I really like that as well. The Torpedo is a good beer as well, but damn these releases are so good. When I made my six pack it was hard to pass up the Narwhal again, but must always try new beers.

Lagunitas Sucks IPA is pretty good. Overhopped but not overpowering. Would drink again.
I've never seen that Old Golden Hen, but I'm a pretty big Old Speckled Hen fan so I'll have to track it down.

When I was a distributor, Old Speckled Hen was one of our labels. We'd usually get 3 to 6 pallets a month, sent from overseas. Most arrived okay but every once in awhile a case or two would break, in the middle, in packing crates and on the back of trucks across country.
We'd unpack it and get punched in the face with a swarm of flies and rotted beer soaked through every case. Rotted Speckled Hen smells like vinegar feet by the way.

Sorry about that, didn't mean to trigger your gag reflex. I fixed the image for you.
Estaminer - Decent. Not very exciting though, pretty standard for a belgium import lager, heineken-esque.
Jever - Kinda crappy. Pretty sure it's because it was in a green bottle and the cap oxidized a little bit - a bit of that iron metallic flavor. Probably tastes alright on draught if you want something that goes down like water and won't fight with your shnitzel.

So a bar opened up recently in downtown Denver called the Monkey Barrel.
20 craft taps.
A liquor shelf built like a giant old school Donkey Kong game.

Decided that would be the first one I crack open, to sip while I whip up some ground turkey and black bean tacos for dinner.
It's a damn fine Farmhouse! Nothing negative to say about that one.
