Arrogant Consortia (Escondido, CA) - Arrogant Bastard Ale

An O.G. in the craft beer arena. One that I’ve always enjoyed, but forgot how much of a beast it was. Fantastic slow sipper.
 
This is the first kolsch I've seen from New Glarus:

Surprisingly effervescent, crisp, slightly fruity, with a bready body. Glad I bought 2 six packs instead of a case.

O'So Brewing's Convenient Distraction, an imperial porter. Rich coffee, not overly sweet.

Something light after a warm bike ride. Peach as we’re heading for the end of summer. I like the Framboise better, but the peach is really authentic!

Big Storm (Tampa) Category 5 Belgian Quintuple at 15.6%. Too sweet. Too much, even in a 5 oz pour. Founder’s Double Trouble. Another big hitter, but knows its boundaries.
 
^^Looks good. ^^ Might be headed to Asheville in a couple months. Had no idea it was known as a circus city. Big Top Brewing plays on Sarasota being the winter home of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Saugatuck Blueberry Maple Stout. I asked for a sample and received a full pour. I would have been happy with an ounce. Also, Farmhouse as F$&k. Super funky and sour.

Mikkeller Brewing's That's A Paddlin' double IPA. Generally not my choice of style (IPAs), but I fell in love with the can artwork. It wasn't the assault to the senses that I had anticipated; pretty decent, actually.

KBS 2019 this and last evening, and two from Big Storm last evening: Cape Coral White Grapefruit IPA and their Marzen Lager Oktoberfest. We did not drink the entire liter! It was a freebie.

JDub’s (Sarasota) Passion Wheat. Light. Very light. I was thinking Bell Cow Milk Chocolate Porter, but didn’t specify. Glad I tried it. Won’t order it going forth. Might still get a Bell Cow! It’s a Labor Day Hurricane weekend! Cheers!
 
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I finished off my Founders All Day IPA the other day and picked up a couple tall cans of this. its what got me into IPA and Pale Ale. Still like to go back to it now and again
 
Pumpkin beers have never interested me. Festbiers, on the other hand,......
