Stopped at the liquor store on my way home from shopping with the wife.
Was SO excited to get my first six of Xocoveza. I couldn't believe they had it. I have one chilling now. The Sam Adams Nitro Coffee Stout was good, but needs more coffee flavor. It's probably the first time I've purchased Sam Adams beer within the past 7 years (when I started drinking craft beer).

Big thank you to Sefskillz. Even if I wasn't able to meet up and have a beer today, he was a dear and left a bottle of Enjoy By at Wino's for me to have.
That was such a nice gesture, and I didn't get him anything. Thank you!

de Garde sent a beer to Seattle again. Grabbed one on my lunch break.
Got a bottle of this today. Looking forward to trying it. Local place only got one case in.

Seattle got a ton. Chuck's CD had ten cases by the register the other day.

They're putting more into distribution, but not a lot. Most bottles are still brewery only.
They started distribution to the Seattle area last June. We've had three shipments since and no kegs outside two that Holy Mountain got in exchange for sending stuff down to their parties.
Bottles in WA
1. Saison Desay & Bu Weisse
2. Saison Premiere
3. Grand Blanc
Oregon shops have had a couple other bottles hit, but not much more than us. You want the fruited Bu's, gotta go to Tillamook.
I'm having one right now, Batch #9. Pretty decent stuff.
I picked up some 3 Minutes to Midnight (w/ raspberries) and Roman Candle too. I'm really looking forward to the 3 Minutes to Midnight, sounds like a really damn good dessert beer. Doubt I'll age any since the fruit will just fade with time I think.

Charred is good, but I thought regular Xocoveza was better.

Been a fan of stone for a bit now. Really enjoy their double bastard ale.
I'm definitely more of an IPA guy. Used to really like my belgiums as well. I've seen this a few times and just never bothered.
Easily up there with my favorites. Mild sweetness and that mild bubblegum finish. Not something I could drink every night but damn is it hitting the spot.

Yeah, love this beer. The bubblegum thing is spoton, but I really appreciated it when I had it.

Drinking this along with other beers. And I hate how Untappd crops these pics:

Yeah, I correct for that when I take pictures. You'll figure out after a bit what size area you're working with.

I could drink that every night. It's a top 5 Belgian IPA for me.

Enjoying the last of this while I watch the last of Toonami. I hope I can score another 6-pack of this:
I see some folks are adding me to Untappd. Keep it up, here's my ID: ramo200

Yeah. Or just shoot with the square setting on your phone camera if it has one. If I use a pic from elsewhere I will go and edit it to a square before posting to Untappd as well.

It was yesterday? Check 'Em in!
Now my Pliny the Younger from 2012 before I got Untappd? Yeah, I lost that chance.

I used to do Instagram, but I like how Untappd is actually useful in finding beer.

Untappd can be tied to Twitter, Facebook and FourSquare but not Instagram. Not the biggest fan of Instagram anyway. I like that Untappd is just about beer. I like the nearby search features and how it builds up beer databases for breweries.

Glassware is a slippery slope. Just buy a few things and call it good.
My wife hates all my glassware. Heh.

I just have a few pint glasses and am fine with that. My only regret is I didn't get the full spectrum of Lantern rings when I bought my Lantern Corps glasses years ago.

Proper Glassware struggle is real.

Mine is an IPA glass, the other one on this page is a Stout glass. You can get them at Crate and Barrel.

I always used to make fun of them, so a friend got me one for Christmas. I like it now, and tend to use it with hoppy beers if I don't have a glass from the brewery.

I have a couple of snifters of different styles and a couple others.
Here's some of the last few weeks of beers I've had that shows a few of my glasses:
Wow. All I have is a variety of pint glasses I've picked up from various brewery visits. I need to up my game.

de Garde made one for their 2nd Anniversary party that's even more butt plug-esque. Let me see if I can find one of my pictures.

The stout ones are good.
Funny shit.

Found a good bottle shop (Veeco Food Store) about a mile from the house we're staying at in Anaheim in a couple weeks. Open until midnight (we get in late the first night), great Instagram account and they keep their online inventory up to date. Looks like my place to score beers to drink while we're there. Hello Modern Times assorted 10 pack and some random bombers from other local CA breweries.
And all the breweries (Bruery, Bottle Logic, Noble) are on the other side of town. Noble looks the closest, so maybe I can sneak over there once.

Track 8 is my new favorite beer. So boozy, sweet and deep at the same time.
