I'm glad you like my local brewery's offering. RB is great stuff. Try Pearl Necklace if you can find it.

Agree with the pearl necklace recommendation. The Flying Dog Imperial Porter is one of my absolute favorite beers. This is what I had over the weekend:

Decisions decisions decisions. I think I'll drink one and then drink the other.

I purchased these 3 two of each..rated highly on the Internet. The Trappistes Rochefort 6 and 8 year. And LaFinDuMonde not bad but not my first choice. Going to track some of the above mentioned. Thanks

Aquacop

Sorry - No PIC, I just filled my growler with Ballast Points Sculpin, if you like IPA's its a must try! Their BIG EYE is also awesome!

Griffin

Poured the second one in the right glass. Makes all the difference in the world. Really opens up the flavors.

CANMAN1976

La Fin du Monde is awesome! I love it!!

I'd like to get my hands on some of Dark Horse "plead the fifth" but that may never happen in my lifetime:)

If your wife likes Paulaner, pick up Wittekerke, Erdinger or Ayinger, if you can find them. All wheat based hefe weisens and very good. As for my recent finds, Weyerbacher's Old Heathen Imperial Stout is amazing. Also enjoying all of Highland brewery's beers and the remaining Sweetwater Festive Ale's I have left from Christmas.

Skiddymarker

Central City Craft Brewery has a new location here in Surrey, BC. Drove by and stopped in to see the place, they had 650ml bottles of Red Racer Pilsner for $1.98 each, bought 3 dozen. That's close to $25 a 24 of 12 oz bottles which is about 1/2 price her in Lotus Land.

Beer connoisseurs always drink beer from a glass as the aroma and taste is enhanced by the olfactory senses of the nose. The correct temperature is also important. Generally 50f is proper for most. 

  Beer guzzlers on the other hand don't care and prefer ice cold beer. An ice cold beers flavor cannot be enjoyed because the low temperature numbs the taste buds and you seldom can get your nose in the bottle's top or heaven forbid, a can.

brings up some points, i like bud near frozen in a frozen mug, probably because its not palatable when warm. ice cold guinness is a sin. if im drinking good beer i place it warm from the counter into the freezer for 20 minutes, seems to chill to the right temp in 20 minutes and its probably about 45 to 50 degrees at that time. then you have to have the right glasses for different types, cheap beer goes in a mug, light in a pilsner, ipas and stouts in the pint glass etc and thats probably an aroma thing having the right glass

Another use for the thermopen.

@Griffin - Do you ever go the Saturday afternoon brewery tours at Rahr? They have live music and it used to be $7 donation got you a pint glass and three tokens to get it filled. My buddy and I used to go there every time I visited him in Fort Worth. Its a good way to pass a Sat afternoon.

Beer is never OT. I've never met a beer I didn't like, I just like some better than others.  )

Kegged a DIPA last night will take the first pull after work this evening.  This weekend I drank Lagunitas Sucks and gaaaddaammnnn thats good beer.

Drewdlc17

One of Sweetwaters best!

YEMTrey

Nice choice.  I liked the first label for that beer more though!

Cookinbob

I'm a home brewer.  On tap right now is Synchronicity (Wheaten Saison recipe from Northern Brewer) and Cookinbobs own Vanilla Porter.  On the left are two slabs of bacon waiting to meet the slicer, below the keg is my stash of smoked cheese which is aging.  Cookinbob has his own refrigerator!
