klwines doesn't list Indiana on the places they're ok to ship to...but they say to call 'em & maybe something can be worked out...so I've never used 'em before...lemme know if you have any success... I've moved on to Bell's Third Coast Old Ale...not to be confused with Third Coast Beer...

& now something I drink a lot of...Two Brothers Cane & Ebel... & a thread favorite is back...FFF Moloko Milk Stout...viddy well my droogs...

hadn't seen Struise Mikkeller Elliot Brew in ages...probably because it isn't being made any longer!... Boulevard Smokestack Series/Deschutes Collaboration 2 White IPA -- probably the best beer of the night...was also lucky enough to have this on tap at the Indiana Microbrewers Festival...get it before it's gone...although the Collaboration 1 is still on shelves here in select stores... & Two Brothers Hop Juice which might be just right on tap, but I'm not so fond of it from bombers... so ya...good times:)...but then last night I had some Boulevard Smokestack Series Saison - Brett...also known as George Brett...the '11 is just as good as I remember the '10 being...& I had some The Bruery Cuir...never has been a favorite of mine, but I liked it more than last time...maybe the last bottle had been sitting out in the heat before it was sold to me...who knows...anyways, not a beer I suggest buying unless you can find the 100% Barrel Aged version or just want to age one for fun...

Firesteone Walker Parabola from Saturday night...wasn't exactly hot, but could probably use a year in the cellar...glad my buddy cracked his open so I don't hafta open mine any time soon:)... also from Saturday night... Bryggeriet Refsvindinge Mors Stout...there were only 2 unique entries for this on untappd...weird to have it show up in Indy... throw in some Chimay cheese:)...smelly!...

having a hard time posting on new system...will regulate soon:)...

Sun King Cream Dream IV: A New Hop... great fuckin' name...& they made a poster, too...

alright...will need help understanding rules etc., but I'm in... Bears just signed Roy Williams & Vernon Gholston...

Dreadnaught on tap...silly good...

Hair of the Dog Blue Dot Double IPA on tap...good stuff...not overdone...

do wanna stress--that's an epic selection to be proud of...& wise to have a couple of each brand (in most cases)...but are you stretching it over the weekend?...where's the water cooler?...where's the judges' table?...

you're srsly missin' out if you're not followin' on twitter...I'll try to post some links when in a better state...but they had Roger Daltry in the Lotus T125 & behind the scenes with Rowan Atkinson... Richard Hammond's Journeys series is ok, but not as engrossing as Oz & James...but still an educational series I'd rather of had in grade school than the crap thrust upon us...

long ago I decided on Redbreast & Laphroaig...enjoy the RB 15, too bad you don't have any 10 Cask Strength in the mix... more 120 Minute for myself...

Bell's Golden Rye...it's ok....just wanted to cross it off the list...would rather be drinkin' an Oarsman which they also have on tap... Bell's Raspberry Ale...again, crossing it off the list...will likely never deliberately have this again...

gas station coffee... apparently, Arizona now makes a Pink Lemonade Arnold Palmer...intend to try that posthaste...

I usually have to drive to Ohio for Speedway Stout, so having the (vintage) Barrel Aged version in Indy was a treat...really lucked out...used some name dropping etc to get behind the tables at the distributor's tent...I have a feeling this bottle was given to a distributor as a freebie because of a torn label...or it could just be because it was on ice before I got there (FFF's labels, for instance, are always coming off)...I'm used to the silver foil...now I know the gold is for barrel aged versions... anyways, it was even more awesome than the normal version...

looking good... I had a New Albanian Naughty Girl Blonde IPA yesterday...& an Avery/Russian River Collaboration Not Litigation Ale (inspired by them both having a beer named Salvation)...the Naughty Girl was quite alright, but the Litigation, despite having a healthy head, tasted quite flat... also had what I thought were my last Evil Power & Ragnarok just now...but found one more of each that I still might consume tonight:)... I realize that I still haven't said all that I had at the Indiana Microbrewers Festival...but it's a long list...the highlight was probably a 2007 Barrel Aged Alesmith Speedway Stout, though!...

Laphroaig 18...

^^I only have 2 of my original 30 left:)... watched the two oldest minor league teams duke it out at Victory Field... had an Oaken Barrel Victory Amber, Flat12 Half-Cycle IPA & a Sun King 1887 Alt... now I'm at Tavern on South enjoying a Mai Tai with some sort of pineapple infused something...

DFH 120Minute...'08 vintage...very nice:)...

^^congratulations:)...

10,000 BTUs & a coffee...

Hop Crisis then sleep...

Tyranena Fargo Brothers...like it better than anything else they do...on tap, it's highly sessionable...

Two Brothers Hop Juice on tap... think I'll just make one post for tomorrow (microbrewers festival) & just include notable pics...it's difficult to post during fests...

Stone Imperial Russian Stout...
