Their regular porter is one of my three favorite year round six pack porters, along with Founders and Great Lakes. Wish DC Brau would can PQP year round, because nearly as good as those three, imo.

i've been drinking the hell outta Smuttynose Baltic Porter.  i think it was Yada who brought a bottle to the last bottle share... great beer.  amazing clean malt flavors.

'twas me.

that's an under-the-radar, oh shit this is amazing, type of beer.

there's a healthy stock at p st whole foods for $6.99.

I passed on oracle, still feeling like bell's ripped me off with 2013 hopslam.

I did pick up Stone 17th and Enjoy By 9.13.13.

Yada was at the last bottle share?  Did I miss one?

yada was the new guy!

[James Ford]

Yada was not at my place. I haven't met him yet.

BrettnotBrit made his first appearance at my place.

Haven't had the 9/13, but in general have been disappointed by all of the past "enjoy by" bottles.

You know when the Wings was brewed? Just curious since their last batch was made in July.

The guy I asked said two to three weeks ago and that they should have another batch canned within the next two weeks.

I thought this years Oracle is consistent with previous years.  The aroma of it is huge, it's great, very piney, definitely going for a pacific northwest profile.  I think my batch was bottled August 9th, so quite fresh.  In my opinion, it's not the best balanced beer.  The 10% abv of it does make it come off a bit too boozy/bitter sometimes but other than that, which I don't have a problem with, i really like it.

i snagged an oracle last night for my fantasy football draft.

it was tasty.  didn't get a huge nose.  would drink again, but would rather spend my money on sculpin or something more balanced.

Finished the last of my Heady Topper supply last night.

I am sad.

finally got to try rubaeus.  that's a damn nice fruit beer.  the missus is in love with the stuff but can't drink it much at the moment.  i've been given orders to find more - hopefully the stuff will keep for a month or two.  doesn't seem like a beer that was made for cellaring but gotta get while the gettin' is good.
