Sun King Westy California Common...served to me in an incorrect glass...think this is 8 or 9 ounces...maybe they just treat all their “Visiting Draughts” this way...quickly moved onto a 20 ounce Bob to correct the disparity...

^^yum...I'm back home with leftovers from earlier in the week...was hoping to get back to my friend's house to help him kill some kegs, but I don't wanna smell like a campfire again for a while...

just not keen on paying two grand to go LCD-3...think I'll try custom iems for a bit...see how much the LCD-4 are...

New Albanian Naughty Claus...brilliantly festive...changes every year I think...

FFF Alpha Klaus X-mas Porter on tap at Tomlinson Tap Room's 1 Year Anniversary Party...

^^Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan has a new beer called White Hoplosion that I'd like to try...haven't seen it around yet... & I think a Quad is next in the Ovila series...Cheers...

nearing nap time...

Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca... then we killed the keg of Arrogant Bastard on tap in my friend's garage...so then he put on a keg of Founders Breakfast Stout:)... I had a Fresh Hop version of Deschutes Mirror Pond...& some Glenlivet Nadurra... he's trying to kill a few of his kegs before the deep freeze...I'm hoping to stop by again tomorrow... home now & having some Flat12 Half Cycle (IPA) Reserve...their usual aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels....got a growler...not bad...

Sam Adams Tasman Red... not great, but not bad either...no complaints for a $7 bomber (that's cheap for Indy)... my wish is that someone in this thread'll name their child Peat...

Sam Adams The Vixen Chocolate Chili Bock... about as good as it sounds...

^^just an FYI, Westvleteren 12 is coming to the U.S. next year via Shelton Brothers...probably a one time deal to raise money for the monastery... same six packs with glass that they recently sold in supermarkets for €25...it's expected to be over $100 when it hits here ~April...

Founders Centennial IPA....watchin' Community...

well...the race has been pushed back a year... I'd rather go to the New Jersey Grand Prix now...

Founders Imperial Stout... yes, indeed...

my last can of Surly Wet...2nd this season only to Founders Harvest as far as wet-hopped beers...but still lovely...

Faithfull might be worth it...& there's a new batch of Bitches Brew (3rd batch) that'd be worth it...but you're right to pass...imho....

I sent him enough for that post to be accurate:)...& I'm sendin' you a lil' somethin' you might like... moved onto a Thomas Hardy's Ale...one that I normally avoid due to price...but they broke up a 4-pack for me...this one's a 2008...

Sam Adams Third Voyage Double IPA....not great, but not expensive either...

had a flight of Triton Brewing beers...they're yet another new Indiana brewery (we won our bid for the next beer bloggers conference btw)...I'd say Wheat > IPA > > Stout > Amber, but none were worth writing home about... sampled Mad Pumpkunhead...heh... now a pint of FFF Pride & Joy...

Sam Adams Griffin's Bow Oaked Blonde Barleywine Ale... love oaked IPAs, but barleywines?...don't know...it almost works...but...no...

Surly Wet...

Brooklyn Chocolate Stout's a great cold weather beer...hope my friend has it on tap in his garage again this year:)... Founders Breakfast Stout's got a much stronger coffee taste than KBS....I think KBS strikes a much better balance, but it's a moot point since KBS is so much harder to come by....I'd be happy if I had enough Breakfast Stout to drink it for breakfast for the better part of a month...yea vote here:)... I'm in a Floydsy mood...Moloko & Alpha Klaus here...

had an Alpha King then called it quits...but can't sleep...not because I'm not tired, but because when I came back two of the guys meant for the floor were sleeping where I was sleeping earlier... in the lobby...thinking about fashioning a newspaper blanket...

Gumballhead on tap at The Charley Horse outside our hotel in Munster...
