This is a pretty down the middle DDH hazy, but I feel like I should pause to appreciate how great it is that such remarkable beers seem normal now

Seems appropriate for enchilada soup

Well look at this delightful art

You know what? I loved this. The berries are really bright but not too sweet. Wouldn’t have been mad if it stayed in the barrel just a little longer but dang wa this good.

Orange juice. Also how are doubles and triples officially defined? Because at 10+ this double is a monster.

I am glad I didn’t read Ryan L. and Sarah L.’s review before drinking this. That would have set my expectations very high. To be clear, this gem of a BBA would have lived up to them. But it was even more fun to experience it as a total surprise.

Here is a terrible party trick: I think I could successfully identify Nelson hops with like a 90% accuracy rate

Peep this sweet blue can tho

I might be rating this a little too highly, but I really can’t remember a better example of this style.

I love it when you call me Big Pulpy

Paired perfectly with soup on a negative 8 degree day

This was a perfectly nice BBA stout, but I really wasn’t finding anything macaroonical

Ryan L. was spot-on in his review. This is a first rate barrel-aged stout, but I detect neither bananas nor foster.

Time to do Santa Stuff. (Don’t let the half pour fool you… I’m drinking the whole thing)

When your mom and dad move across the country, you have to start new Christmas Eve traditions. I don’t know if grilling without so much as a coat on will become a tradition, but a guy could sure get used to this.
