Any idea when Bell's Black Note comes out?

I do not, but that same pub is having a Bell's dinner tomorrow night with a Bell's rep and I can find out for you.

Merci and gracias.

speaking of bells, i had my first hopslam of the year at a party last night.  t'was a honey-bomb.  i don't think i had any last year (it's not my fav so i don't seek it out).  i didn't remember it being so sweet.  clearly my hop tolerance is high because while the beer was clearly hoppy, it didn't strike me as exceptionally hoppy.  thank you, lupulin threshold shift.

i also tasted an IPA from RAR brewing.  very good.  i'll be dropping by this brewery next time i made it to the eastern shore.  they're posting some very respectable rating numbers on BA.

weyerbacher's sunday morning stout, aka the poor man's KBS, is out.  at $18/four pack, not sure it still gets that moniker... i was planning on picking up more than one pack, but at that price i got a founders imperial stout foursome instead of another SMS.  i'll try one tonight and cellar the rest unless it tastes amazing fresh.

SMS=$14.99/ four pack in VA. Had my first one of 2016 batch last night. Was good. Wanted to compare it with a 2015 SMS which i still have, or some other bourbon stout, but i just can't handle more than one, and my wife was making drink that one by myself.

the infamous $3 DC tax...

i can see it now, your wife sitting you down at the table and sternly watching you drink it - sorta like when you catch a teenager smoking cigarettes and you make them smoke a bunch until they get sick, to ensure that they don't smoke again

I forgot how solid DFH 60 minute is.

Drank my first Right Proper beer last night that I would actively seek out again.

Terrible name, awesome beer.

Hey, for those of  you who are more connoisseur-level on your IPAs, how long are IPAs generally considered "good" if stored in cans. Also, is this time-frame effected by whether or not they're left refrigerated?

I wouldn't buy an IPA in a can or bottle that's over a month old. And I'd make sure I drank it all before the two month mark. Even sooner than both of those targets is preferred.

 I keep mine in the darkest, coldest place in my house before refrigerating and that seems to work fine for me.

I do have a can of Heady Topper that's 2.5 years old. That's going to be interesting to drink when we finally crack it.

so the four cans of Hopslam my cousin procured for me to drink when I get there in 3 weeks...should be ok then

I didn't say there was a hard and fast rule and it probably depends on the specific IPA, but I'm going to guess it would be fine...

About the same number you can fit in your wife's pussy.

They should be fine.  Refrigeration will insure that.
