Drinking a Martin House 2019 Colmbiana and smoking an OpusX.

Great beer. Good cigar but not worth the $$.

As is tradition, drinking 2019's version of Christmas Bomb.

Had a lagunitas willettized earlier tonight. Pretty solid beer.

Cheers

Anyone got any of that 450 North fruit juice, I mean beer?

Merry Christmas and thanks to BSD & Jetch for the hookup, Preciatecha. Damn solid beer

That sounds amazing. How is it?

It was excellent so much flavor between the fruit and the barrel

Stopped off at Turning Point on the way home today. Tasty as always

Any chance Weldwerks is playing the game tomorrow? I'm in Firestone through the weekend and plan to make the trip to WW at some point this weekend. Not sure with family stuff going on, but it's looking like tomorrow evening right now.

We cancelled our television subscription a couple years ago. Too expensive.

Cali green to get the night of Aggie football clenching kicked off

Collector's item glass.

Turning Point Pencilvester is very solid.

Okay, it's that time of year! I think I did this last year and it was fun to see the different opinions and answers.

I can't recall the exact topics so I'll try to put something akin together. Untappd may be a good resource for this to retroactively look at info from 2019.

Respond with:

1. Favorite beer of 2019
2. Beer you drank the most of in 2019
3. Favorite brewery you visited in 2019
4. What brewery would you want to visit in 2020 that you have never been to before?
5. Any other notes...did your favorite style of beer change, did you get to do anything "beer bucket list" like, etc.

Did I miss anything obvious?

I will start:

1. Favorite beers of 2019 (I had to choose top 3...had 2 of these at a bottle share with Jah and Hudson)

1. Big Bend Brewing Barrel-Aged Marfa Light (Russian Imp. Stout) (thank you, Jah!)
2. Austin Street Brewery Offset (IIPA), Portland, ME
3. Brasserie Cantillon Ros de Gambrinus 2016 (Lambic) (thanks, Hudson!)

2. Beer you drank the most of in 2019 - Live Oak Pilz. This is just a classic. Flavorful and crushable any time.

3. Favorite brewery you visited in 2019 - Russian River Brewing Windsor (made my first trip to it in January, have been able to fortunately return a handful of times since!)

4. What brewery would you want to visit in 2020 that you have never been to before?
Hill Farmstead. Same answer as last few years.

5. Any other notes...did your favorite style of beer change, did you get to do anything "beer bucket list" like, etc.
- Got to visit Portland, ME for the first time, and it was a great beer destination

Is that regal rye? One of my favorite BCBS variants

Nvm see that it's rare now, hows it tasting?

I've still got one left.

1. Favorite Beer of 2019: Troegs Boysenberry Tart Ale
2: Beer drank the most of: Probably Two Hearted
3. Favorite Brewery to visit: Either Troegs or Boulevard
4. Brewery to visit in 2020: Tough one, not travelling much until I deploy in the fall, and working in Houston 4 days a week. Maybe I'll try to get to Lone Pint.
5. Did a month in Europe for a NATO exercise, got to drink lots of good German and Polish beers.
