Girlfriend and I got two tickets for Hoof Hearted's Konkey Dong release this Sunday.
Super excited to try it, especially since it's fresh. Apparently a decent number of people who weren't able to get tickets will be at the event with other sought after beer. Will hopefully be able to trade there.

So Prairie apparently has a new distributor, so their beers magically appeared at my local beer shop. Grabbed a couple bottles of Bomb, as well as their Apple Brandy Barrel Noir.
Got laughed at in a treehouse group for putting that, b-day bomb, some funky buddha, CCB bottles, and a couple other things up for trade. I guess I don't have the whalez, bro.

Hmm. They're going for $9.95 each for 12 oz., so I'll have to try one before considering grabbing a few more for trades.

Montreal pickups for late night back at our AirBNB...

I've had it in the past, good beer. Great Grandfather Raven is my favorite thing they've ever done.
In other news, I had Le Castor's Yakima IPA at a bar in Montreal tonight that had taxidermy ostrich heads on the wall. Fantastic beer and cool space.

My first own homebrew finished clarification yesterday and I'm just properly trying it today. I am pleasantly surprised with how it turned out, made in the Belgian dubbel style, 7.5% ABV. It's quite bitter, I think I need to get some candi sugar for my next one and make it a lot stronger.
Overall a happy man.

Last night in Montreal before heading to Quebec City. This IPA is pretty fantastic.

That Prairie Apple Brandy Noir was incredible. Heading back to pick up everything my store has of it, likely just to keep and age in my basement.

Little bottle share last night. Highlights being both the Cantillons, the Trillium Heavy Mettle (which I thought was pretty similar to Todd the Axeman from Surly) and the Chubna. Not pictured was the infected 110415 BCBS, I wanted to like it, despite what I heard, but it was a drain pour.
That glass is pretty much a perfect all around beer glass. I like drinking in different glassware and collecting glassware, but I'm not convinced glass shape makes all that much difference. If it's a good beer, it will be just as enjoyable in a shaker glass is it would be in an $80 crystal Riedel Cognac snifter.
If you really want to get into proper glassware though, here's a pretty basic overview:

Have you ever had a gose before? They're spectacularBought me a pack of this and it's very different.

My English bitter. I love this style. I wish more breweries would do session beers other than the "session ipa" Surly does a great mild, but I'm not aware of anyone in my market that does a decent 3-4% English style.

Next time you're in Seattle check out Machine House. All cask, all English session styles.
Duck Duck Gooze 2016 online release has had to be one of the worst online releases I've ever had to deal with. They tried rescheduling the release due to server problems a week ago that happened again today and then completely changed what site they were being sold on three times. An hour and 45 minutes later from their intended release time I have my 6 bottles but wow what a mess.

They should just do away with Internet sales and force people to show up. De Garde did that with ticket sales for their last anniversary party and it went much better.

And now all sales are canceled since they sold 2x more than they made.
Yep. Incredibly stupid, can't believe I've wasted so much time on this already.

Either of the Chuck's IMO. A few minutes off 5 though.

Both do rotating food trucks. If you want more of a pub atmosphere go to Brouwers in Fremont. Insane bottle selection, wish they'd sell their bottles to take home lol.

Beer Junction in West Seattle is easier to get to than Chuck's CD from I-5. Great taplist, bottles and they also do crowlers.
Holy Mountain does some fills, but you should just stop in and drink a couple.

Man, I really want to go, but I don't think I can justify it this year. Maybe next year.

Seems like an honest apology... I was one of the first to order so I was able to secure 5 bottles for myself so I'm not too miffed. For a beer that releases every 3 years, I can only imagine being frustrated with this whole situation though.

At least I got my 5 bottles of Lost Abbey Whale Juice!
I still have 3 bottles of the last release.

Drinking Fantôme's Saison. After overdosing a bit on Saison Dupont (came across a batch of very affordable bottles and couldn't resist the offer) this hits all the right notes. About as dry as SD, but a lot more sour elements that hit you right away. Good stuff!
