Someone here suggested we try the Widmer Brothers Citra Blonde Summer Brew...so I did. It's a decent summer blonde. Citra really adds that nice tropical flavor. I would drink again!

Up next I got to try the Sixpoint Resin. There was a lot of hype surrounding this release, and I must say I'm a little let down. Tons of caramel malt seem to mute the very floral and piney hops. It's more like a barley wine light. I figured with a name like Resin, it would really shine on the hops front. Also, a lot of alcohol present on the pallet....it's got the burn. Not a bad beer. But for $9 a four pack...I just expected more.

Going to the garage to pour a glass of my Simtra IPA, used a generous amount of 2 row, citra and simcoe hops, 7.5% abv. Had a Rogue Dead Guy ale earlier but who's counting.
Then the Lord saith, "Let there be Founder's Breakfast Stout with roasted malts, oats, chocolate & coffee." It was good.
I want to try that beer soooo bad. Please come to TX Founders....?
Cigar City IPA Oak Aged. Delicious!!!
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. Great beer. Kind of hot, but is intended to age. I really don't have the patience for that right now...must sip.
Wasatch Pumpkin Ale
O'Fallon Pumpkin Beer is pumpkin pie in a bottle. Yummy.

I'm catching up since I haven't been able to post for a few days. OldAF and I have been in a similar mindset this week!- Thread starter

I was really glad RetiredGuns posted the Breakfast Stout. They hardly ever have it at the store where I usually buy beer, so I went out of my way to find some this week. MAN - it is some good stuff.Firestone Walker's Reserve Porter
I found it a bit hoppy and bitter for a porter. I won't revisit this one.

Ah come on, not fair! I'm jealous!!
Central Waters Oktoberfest
Modelo Especial. Mexico's version of Miller High-Life. Okay for what it is, but not worth paying any extra money for it over Miller.
Heading downtown to Squatters brewery and pub for some damn good food and damn good beer.

When I first moved to CT, from Massachusetts, I thought I was really going to be slumming it. In many ways, my little rural section of CT has turned out to be a pretty nice place to live. It just got a bit better with the addition of BACK EAST brewery. BEB is about 40 miles to the west of me, near Hartford, but their (limited) selection of brews is available close to me. This Imperial Stout is a beauty. It's 10.5% without any alcohol being obvious. It's better than Sam Adams Imperial Stout, which I like - BTW, but not quite as nice as Great Divide's Yeti Imperial. Unfortunately, this is their first public offering, and I don't think it's going to be part of their regular rotation. Glad I got to try it while it was around, though. And if I can find them on Twitter, I'll surely follow.
