Aggiespartan - I'd love to try that festival our for size one of these days. I've made the Winter Ale festival in Portland and taken 3 guys trips through most of Oregon and Washington to enjoy beer and hiking, etc. It's always a great time! You probably remember me asking you for recs before.

I assume you have, but if not, you need to get out to Pacific City and take in the Pelican Pub & Brewery. They have excellent beer and the best scenery you can find behind a brewery. The head brewer Darren was a really cool guy.

Started the afternoon with a Deschutes Twilight Summer Ale. Then I had a couple of Karbach Hopadillos. Now I'm having this:



It is really good. These Brewer Share beers are great.

It's BEER TIME!

Look what just arrived



Went looking for Devils Backbone but came with this. Just finished cutting the yard and now out is sample time.

So far this season I've had the cask and the keg version. Oddly enough, I like the bottled product best. The keg brew had a but of a bitter finish that I do not enjoy.

Perfect color and white fluffy head as a hefe should be. All the proper smells in the aroma too. Rahr does a great hefe and this year I'd no excepti. on.

Its good but not quite at the great German import level. For American, I think Gordon Biresh is my favorite.

This reminds me of the Real Ale Empire. It isn't as hoppy but has a similar tartness and flavor from the aging in oak. You get more of a wine taste with Empire but this is a damn good beer. I'll have to procure more if I can.

Ok. This Tart Lychee is f-^*ing fantastic, great summer beer. Damn, I wish I would have bought more when I was in Houston.

Ballast Point Sculpin IPA
RRBC Supplication
RRBC Pliny the Elder
3 Floyds Pride and Joy Pale Ale
RRBC Supplication
RRBC Consecration
MB Tart Lychee

The Tart Lychee is indeed a good beer and I may go back for several more.  It's hard to find a good sour here so I'll load up while I can!  (the RRBC beers were money, too)

Usually if you see me with more than 4 bottles, I had help. I always try to share and tonight I had a business partner (also a close friend) over to try some sours.

It's getting harder to find sours.

Not judging, I admittedly can't do what I could do just a few years ago, but I'm to the point where if I drink a bomber, I'm going to feel it a bit in the morning

Maui Big Swell IPA tastes like a bouquet of flowers. My inexperienced IPA loves enjoy this brew, but I give it a solid "vomit" right now, alimg with Big Ska.

Thanks, Jetch. It was a good beer night. And Army01, I was only kidding on the dont judge me comment, thus the second post with a real explanation. If I had drunk all those beers by myself last night, I'd still be asleep, or curled up on the bathroom floor.

I can't speak for all sours. But this one was crisp and refreshing to drink. Had a great tart flavor but didn't linger on the palate like that Monk's Cafe.
