Boulevard Smokestack Series Harvest Dance Wheat Wine Style Ale... after our group o' four had gone to The Fickle Peach then the Heorot & back to The Fickle Peach, we decided to head on back to John's place...he was our DD & was shuffling us around in an STi...not bad for whizzing through campus in...but, since the two bars are within walking distance from eachother, i decided to walk back to The Heorot w/John while Scott & Don settled the tab...i wanted to pick up that bottle of Jolly Pumpkin Bam Noire i passed on earlier in the evening due to price... had to point it out to the bartender...it was clearly written on the giant chalk board...as was the price...but she looked & looked & couldn't find it...so, i didn't want to walk away empty-handed...so i bought the Harvest Moon:)... my best friend doesn't care for this one...he, like me, has had pretty much every Smokestack save for the BBQ....i, however, think it's better than the Collaboration #1 that he likes, but not as good as the Tank 7 which we both enjoy & was on tap at The Fickle Peach that night... I also picked up a bottle of Cantillon Rose from The Heorot, but I'm having trouble locating my apartment's only corkscrew:)...

have every episode here if you have any trouble tracking them down...i trust you will now get any jokes i make pertaining to Control... i watched Japan Grand Prix at Sazuka...then my Colts play terribly yet somehow still pull it out...casually listening to 60 Minutes now...gearing up for Rubicon...

Founders Black Rye... yes!...i'll have more on this in a bit...i downed one bottle in Muncie & have 'nother in my fridge that i'm 'bout to get to...i'm happy i got this one as i was DENIED FOUNDERS CANADIAN BREAKFAST AGAIN...CBS was the first thing i tried to order when we arrived at the Fickle Peach...i was told they hadn't tapped it yet...sooo...i suggested they tap it right quick:)...they said they had a lotta beers to get through first...so i pointed out that two people (both in the industry) posted yesterday that it was tapped...luckily (i guess) one of the highups overheard & jumped in & said they ran out...son of a!...so...they had four rare Founders kegs in reserve...not a total loss...i asked which one they tapped & naturally it was the one i've had on multiple occasions... wasn't a good way to start the evening...& the band kept starting & stopping...must've been The Total Blam Blams leftover from the 6th...also, we were told food was no longer being served...we showed up at nine so this was strange, especially for a college town!...then we started seeing groups around us being served food...so ya...none of us were pissed, just befuddled...we finally found someone to serve us some chips/salsa...the beer was great & the atmosphere top notch despite the 'game room' on the other side of the wall...the glassware was clean & professional...

New Belgium Trippel Ale Brewed with Coriander... it's good...it's better than the Hoptober we had earlier in the evening & it was made better still by drinking it outside around a fire while my friend Don played a 12-string...good times...nice that we were all still going after two great bars...

Blue Dawg Wild Blue Lager... a lot like how i'd imagine a blueberry lambic only lighter...this is almost like a soda...was warned against this one, but i don't think it's that bad if you don't try to pin too much on it to start...

Bell's Brewing Le Pianiste 2nd in Jazz series... lighter than the other...& just not as good...no sparkle to it...but still damn good!...nothing fancy, but so quaffable like their 25th anniversary...like what they're doin'... we're back @ the Fickle Peach... not posting pic, but had FFF BrooDoo on tap @ The Heorot...one of the first places anywhere to tap it this season...another FFF that's transformed coming from a keg...

Nogne O Double IPA...from a friend's bottle...nice of him...solid beer that tastes as if on tap...

DFH Chateau Jiahu... first time i've had it on tap...we've moved to the legendary Heorot now for reasons i'll get into later... very, very fruity...sweet & dry aftertaste...this wasn't a crowd pleaser...

FFF Dreadnaught... always skip this on tap 'cuz i can get it in bottles so easily...but they were out of Apocalypse Cow so i went there...glad i did...this one's always got to be in the coversation regarding best ipa...granted i usually will take a bottle of Blackheart over a bottle of Dreadnaught, but on tap the Dreadnaught is better still...never have i seen Blackheart on tap...

Bell's Brewing Le Contrebassiste 3rd in the Jazz series... ya...any time you can have a beer meant only for the brewery outside the brewery...do:)... this is great...just great...

Rubicon...

we have tons of theobroma here...that's a weird one...but the bitches brew's one case per store...then there's a waiting list & you're allowed one 750mL per customer...i have two & my buddy has one...so we're thinking about splitting one & aging the others... this is my veiled suggestion that you go back & buy the rest if they'll let you:)...
