So what's good at bouchon? Might have to stop by if I ever make it back out that way again.

The onion soup at Bouchon is phenomenal. As are the truffle risottos, steak frites, the specials of the day, and everything else on the menu. It's hard to go wrong. But I'd head to Addendum for a fried chicken dessert if they are open. I don't think they're open at night though.

BSD, any thoughts on Bottega? Apparently she has us booked there too

To keep it on subject, what kind of brews outside of wine does bouchon keep?
BSD

Bottega is good. I'd do Redd as well if you get the time. We went their in February with some baller ass friends and it was one of the best meals I had in Napa. We went appetizer heavy and drank '96 Salon Champagne and then split some main courses with Maybach cabernet (yes, I had two glasses that night). I still cream when I think about it.

Bouchon has Pliny bottles but that is the only beer I've ever ordered there (that I can remember). RRBC used to make Blue Apron Ale for Bouchon but then Thomas Keller got a BJ from Brooklyn Brewery so that's the house beer now.

Where are you staying?

Mixed it up tonight. The Grafter was nice with plenty Tempranillo. Also, Woot Stout is some tasty fudge.

Apparently I need to get some woot stout. I don't think I've heard anything bad about it yet.

Stuck with my new summertime mainstay tonight: Staycation. I need to load up on this before it goes out as the seasonal.

This is approaching two years old...

It's certainly changed since release. A different beer, but still delicious. One of my top 10 (maybe top 5) favorite Jester King brews.

I'll stick with the Jester King theme.

Had this Nocturnal Chrysalis last night. Not sure how blend 1 or 2 was, but 3 is awesome. Glad I have another in the fridge.



My girl has been on a saison kick as of late, had a few good ones before the JK, as well as a share of Biere de Miel from JK.

How much of a **** show is the Friday GABF session? Thinking of possibly doing that instead of the Thurs due to scheduling but will keep Thursday if Friday's are just retarded.

Went to the Saint Arnold 20th Anniversary party a year ago. Still my favorite brewery visit/event to date. Great music lineup, barbecue, and best of all, this seductive barleywine.



Found it here in Dallas recently. Skeptical if we'll be able to find it for much longer.

Edit: Drinking the beer in the 20th Anniversay glass, as well. Too good.

Looks good. Hopefully I'll get my hands on a bottle one of these days. I'm a big fan of Logsdon Farms and beer with cherries.

Got my tickets for Thursday night GABF. Guy I work with has free tickets for Friday night so I guess I'm doing two nights in a row this year.

I've been to all sessions except sat night, and honestly they are all pretty much a chit show haha. I mean it's pretty much basketball game sized crowds drinking beer beer for 4 hours.

Thursday is definitely not a **** show. It's mostly beer geeks and a laid back crowd. Hands down the best session of GABF.

To be fair, neckbeards and kilts is still a ****show.

When I did Thursday night session in did the farm to table so I was in there half the time.

But I thought he meant crowded by 'chit show'. They are all crowded.

They often do stuff like that but make sure to check bottle dates.
