New Albanian Elector Imperial Red Ale...they finally started bottling it...

that BB Ard Ri was a 9.2% ABV Imperial Red... now a bottle of Mad River Double Dread Imperial Red Ale...8.6% ABV....

so Upland has a seasonal Imperial Red called Ard Ri...was able to snag a bomber...then I heard about it being on tap at a couple out of the way places...but then a place by me announced they were tapping Bourbon Barrel Ard Ri...fucking yum... this & my stockpile of KBS pretty much make up for my package not showing... Happy Saint Patrick's Day everybody...

stuck at work...but I know I have at least six coming to me:)... expecting a package w/a beer I really wanted to drink tonight...but the tracking info still has it in california...blerg...

more Stone Old Guardian BELGO...still liking it more than regular O.G. & so i might try it on tap...apparently, they have it flowing at Chumley's...

latest Tosh.0, the Trump Roast...then I dnloaded the Tron Legacy blu-ray & this six episode series called Whites that was recently canceled...there's a small campaign to get it back on the air so i figured i'd give it a shot...

Founders...they do a few stouts...the Breakfast Stout which is year round, the Imperial Stout which is seasonal, the Kentucky Breakfast Stout which is seasonal & very limited, then the Canadian Breakfast Stout which is extremely limited & only in kegs...

just a footnote...the Founders Canadian Breakfast I mentioned earlier was gone in 30 minutes!...I believe that's the 7th time I've knowingly/begrudgingly missed that beer...

feeling pretty shitty about the current state of beer affairs here...in addition to DFH pulling outta Indy, looks like Shelton Brothers (a distributor for Mikkeller, Jolly Pumpkin & many others) isn't paying their Indiana taxes...so no new stuff from them isn't coming in...it's probably Indiana in the wrong...buncha crazies running things here...sucks... ANYWAYS...had to order this online... Mikkeller Koppi Tomahawk x Guji Natural Coffee IPA.... I like it!...pleasant surprise...I'd drink it on the balcony if it weren't so windy...the hops have a stronger presence & bite than the coffee...after a few swigs, the coffee flies under the radar...i'm sort of wishing i could cleanse my palate between sips so as to experience the initial sensation again...

^^scrambling to get mine...on three lists... Canadian Breakfast Stout is on tap in Chicago tonight at Local Option....

congrats!...did you also buy a shit-ton of new blu-rays?...

what's the verdict on the Templeton Rye?...last I heard Binny's was getting some in, but I haven't seen it in Indy yet...

Avery Samael's Ale 2006, Rochefort 10 & Dogfish Head Burton Baton...

killing a growler of Special K Kolsch from The Bier Brewery...

bottle of Founders Nemesis 2010...

made it out alive...barely...they hooked me up w/a free Boulevard Sixth Man t-shirt... as I was leaving, three "Jager Girls" with Jager jackets came in with their entourage...but i think the place couldn't yet serve hard liquor so they left...i joined their group, but shortly thereafter decided it was a bad idea:)...so back home... FFF Rabbid Rabbit...another one of their seasonals that i wish was year round...

some more seething jealousy headed your way:)... i'm glad he's not wasting valuable drinking time posting pics...but if a few surface later:)...

Boulevard Smokestack Series Tank #7 Farmhouse Ale on tap... an ex-roommate of mine is bartending...if anyone's reading this, i want to leave everything to my sister:)... i dig these blvd glasses...

bought four more 120 minutes...who knows when i'll see more of that...hmph... new Dark Lord Day details: i'm still planning on attending...

how's the line lookin'?...

going to have to find a way to age what little olde school we have left:)...i don't have a back yard, else i'd consider burying it as they suggest...

thing is we were part of their core...they've been here well over a decade...it seems we're being sacrificed so they can fill out the selection in smaller markets... i'm sure it was a tough decision for them...

http://www.dogfish.com/community/blogfish/members/sam/thanks-for-understanding.htm -- can't meet demand...

coffee then more coffee then coke then extra strength five hour energy... headed to the Upland tasting room tonight... bummed by the news today that Dogfish Head is pulling out of Indiana (& Tennessee, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, the UK & Canada)...hopefully someone good'll fill the void...
