speaking of which...

Franziskaner is good stuff.

I tried another local Florida brew last night--Inlet's Monk in the Trunk, which was billed as a Belgian-style amber. I couldn't taste anything Belgian about. It was pretty much a decent, but unremarkable amber ale.

Verdict on Florida breweries so far:

Cigar City
Inlet meh

Ok, when I read what you could get for $45, I thought it said "Live entertainment and live chicken".

Reading comprehension a little off this am.

Can't beat it.

Got a bottle of that Victory 12% at the local Market District. Also some Southern Tier holiday edition (forget the name) on close out for 7.99/22 oz

Discuss of Maine in the NBA thread reminded me. I have to get up to Maine to visit some relatives one of these days and now I have another reason. I really want to get my hands on Allagash Interlude. Can't find it anywhere around here. I think Monk's in Philly gets some but that's all I can see for PA.

Weyerbacher has a sour coming out this summer that will be available at the brewery only. Might have to make a trip out to Easton (or wherever Weyerbacher is out there).

[Troy Loney]

Weyerbacher is in Allentown I think.

I think I want to go to this. My illness has knocked out a big chunk of home-improvement-that-must-be-completed-before-my-daughter's-first-birthday time, though. I have to figure out whether I have time to get drunk at 4:00 on a Saturday.

Make time. $40 for 4 hours of food and drink is hard to beat.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm playing "battle of the IPA's" - im trying to find an IPA to dethrone the reigning champion (Dogfish head IPA 60) last night it was a sixpack of Southrrn Tier 2xIPA. Great beer, it came close, in fact i think ive found my second favorite IPA, but Dogfish head IPA 60 is still king - Long live the King)

The best I've had is Heady Topper Double IPA. Will be tough to find though.

This is good. Caramel-ly, rich, smooth, subtle hoppy notes.

That founders was my introduction to high abv craft beer. Haven't looked back since.

Digging through the beer stash, I found 3 Golden Monkeys I didn't know I had. Happy days!

Nice! Was introduced to that beer at Easter when a friend brought it over for our Easter party (a lot of people don't go home for Easter in my program). It's delicious.

Indeed. The 9.5% is a nice bonus.

Celebrated my birthday with a Foothills Seeing Double IPA. Spectacular.
