tried the founders breakfast stout yesterday at the Big Hunt - incredible

Amen to that. Four pack at Total Wines and Whole Foods. not quite as good as on tap, but still excellent.

congrats... but how was it?

Having half of one of these tonight:

a whole half?!?  well, it is friday night i suppose...

RFD had this one on tap 2 weeks ago - delicious.  i think you'll like it.

Saturday night's Haloween selection:

this is my favorite pumpkin beer at the moment.  some folks claim it is too sweet.

Rhett, let me ask you. How do you go about drinking 'half' a beer? In other words, do you spring for a whole bottle between two people or do you drink half and put the rest in the refridgerator for another wild whooping time?

You mean James, right?

It comes in a 22 oz bottle, has 8.7% alcohol. Juliet and I will be splitting one. We're such lightweights, I'm sure we'll catch a small buzz even splitting one.

just picked up a 4-pack at MaGruders for 10.99 - not cheap but still worth it

So I went to Church Key (first time) before seeing Thao Nguyen at the Black Cat last night. There was a line out the door, and I had to wait probably 20 minutes before I was allowed to go upstairs to the bar. But it was all worth the wait.... OMG, I think I had the best beer I've ever tasted.

Beer: Aventinus Weizenbock Dunkel


It was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. Mind-blowingly good. Big, bold flavors, but at the same time perfectly balanced and smooth and easy to drink like a weissbier. Highly recommended. And Church Key has it on draft. Unbelievable.
