Less than 2.5 hours

@ Joe
Pliz let me know when you are over your beer break. Dan gave me goodies to send your way and it would be cruel and unfair to send them now during your fasting.

Or near the end of the beer break so the beer arrives to break this cycle of beer oppression joe hath instituted.

today is day 19
should i go for 2 months

I don't even know you, the street you live on, or your name.

na

That puts day 30 of fasting on my birthday... I should try to make it land at your place that day...besides it's clearly good to wait on these beers. They are slowly decaying away

I think zapata is already rotten.

it would be my pleasure to have a beer from adam/dan on adams bday

the real question is if i have to play cannibal corpse to my beer as it ferments so it tastes better?
or is it kenny g ?

If you play Cannibal Corpse it will ferment like the corpse of a thousand grains under the burning sun until it is bitter and ready to rape your mouth. If you play Kenny G it will mellow out until it becomes so smooth that each beer is indistinguishable from Coors Light, or Miller Lite, or is it Bud Light? clearly to pick on Kenny G, much like Cannibal Corpse he has put out the same album a dozen times and each is nearly indistinguishable.

I'm so glad that at least someone takes the time to read my funnies. I wub you joe

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner accompanied by beer. I had already eaten dinner a few hours earlier so I mainly had beer. Had 4 pints of Oaked Arrogant Bastard (m8 had one) with a hot pepper pizza, half a pint each of Victory's Golden Monkey and Young's Double Chocolate Stout while a m8 had SN Jack & Ken's black IPA + Capt Lawrence Brown Ale (he was given a beer flight and I had the two he didn't enjoy after a sip). Finished the night off with half a pint each of Stone Smoked Porter and a chocolate lava cake made with the same beer, paired with three flavors of ice cream. The check came to under $40 (just the pitcher and pizza, plus a generous tip). Damn I love Coalhouse Pizza.

Sculpin now available out here. I love this and wish it cost less than $9 for a bomber.

9 more days on the wagon
then falling hard

I missed the window of opportunity to get a box out to you by my birthday I guess it's for the best though because the weather we had yesterday and the day before would have frozen the cans that are going to be included in this box.

I'll be on the lookout this weekend to possibly score some Boston exclusive brews to send your way.

And Dapper Dan's recent text message reminded me that I never provided a weekend update for the beers I came across in my travels.

Gratitude '05, '06 (the full vertical was present but I've now had all of them but the 2008 which is troubling because 2008 is more rare than 2006 since there was a disaster and only half a batch made it.)
Black Tuesday '10
Kate the Great '10
Lost Abbey Cuvee de Tomme '09
1996 Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus
2001 De Dolle Dulle Teve (Mad Bitch)
Captain Lawrence Rosso e marrone
1991 Samichlaus
Some crazy ass small batch mead that was aged for 6 years in a bourbon barrel (fucking amazing)

There are so many more but those really stood out.

i shall live vicariously though you with the black tuesday

When I get a bottle will you come visit?

I'm going to be having it again on Saturday in Boston.

>brewer makes crazy small numbers of beer
>adam drinks it multiple times

Looking over the list of beers for the Extreme beer fest this year has me scratching my head.

Dogfish head is bringing a Randall filled with bacon and grilled habaneros and they are going to pour palo santo through it.

Clipper City is bringing a double wood aged/cask loose canon. Aged on the wood from a 400 year old tree from Maryland. (What the fuck, that's gotta be a first.)

When you come to visit, we will drink Black Tuesday and/or Kate the Great. Then we can do a drive by at Dans place and use the excuse that we were too drunk to stop and say hi.

i would love to be drunk and clearly say hi to dan

would be hard considering id be across the table drinking from ya, or adam would find himself under investigation for uhh...something

I CANT SEE YOU

Has anyone else had Sculpin this year? The hop finish is really bitter, I don't recall it having that last year.

every time someone mentions sculpin i rage a little bit inside

Is like to do something Luke this sometime before I die

Odell brewery... if you can get it, do it.
Only had 2 different things from them so far and color me impressed. I am now even more anxious to open up the bourbon barrel stout I have from them that is 3 years old now.
IPA = delicious
Red ale = mini version of Nugget Nectar

I am a big fan of beer and food pairings but I am a little weary about the whole chocolate and stout thing. I mean, I get it and I have tried it before but it gets to me after awhile. I guess thats only because the stouts we were drinking shouldnt have been paired with chocolate and the chocolate was of 90% and higher cacao that was basically like chewing on coffee beans mixed with plastic.

i just meant more the beer/nice planned meal pairings
it just happened i got that email today and it was the choc/stout pairings ofc

Stout trooper, om nom nom

think i might break my dry spell, 25 days. i just want to taste deliciousness again

ONE BOMBER ON A THURSDAY WONT KILL ME!

ohh sweet nectar

Extreme beer fest weekend has begun.

First stop was at Prime 16 New Haven, CT
Had a Berkshire Brewing Imperial stout and a Raspberry Barleywine. Both clearly bad and shared a pulled pork BBQ flatbread pizza and French dip with the wife.

I passed the control of the vehicle over to her, next stop Julios Liquors Westborough, MA.

Honorable mentions that I didn't get to drink at Prime 16 = Captain Lawrence Reserve DIPA and Harpoon Levitathon Barleywine.

Within 20 minutes tonight I was bored at the "most extreme limited sought after beer fest the world has to offer."

The first 3 beers I drank were the only super limited beers I never had before and I thought they were meh.

On a brighter note, Sam Adams released a beer called "WTF." I took a sip and actually yelled "what the fuck" the guys pouring the beer laughed and said: exactly, that's what's up. I followed my response with "this beer tastes like chewing on swamp things dick" I was asked to kindly step away and clearly come back.

TL;DR - EBF 2011 was a huge let down, time to pop a baby out and ignore the beer scene for the rest of my life

my only comment is how do you know what swamp things dick tastes like

Think about it, youre a bright fellow

Portsmouth brewery;
Black cat stout on nitro
Red rocket ipa
Imperial ipa

All nb, off to Cambridge Brewing now to drink some sours

Sometimes I cant believe the shit we do

My liver is pulsating from the 3-day beer bender that ended last night with a boatload of bad decisions and unnecessary bottles of beer being opened. Lol good times though

I feel it's my duty to report in with a detailed description of the dinners that ring-leader smoked participated in last night.

The only unnecessary was 2010 abyss, of course the ones that were wanted and enjoyed...but if you are saying unnecessary like the A1 steak sauce beer and zapata then yes
