Another one from Ayinger. They almost gave it away at my Total Wine; paid less than $2. Ayinger is also the German brewery where Dan Carey of New Glarus Brewing served an apprenticeship.

Common Roots Brewing Company
I split a crowler of this stout with my drinking partner. It's a very pleasant beer and an easy drinker. Smooth and a touch sweet. It's not spectacular, but I'd buy it again.
From the brewer: A deliciously decadent Double Stout brewed with vanilla beans, marshmallow, chocolate, graham cracker and lactose. This spin on a dessert classic is a perfect pairing for cool temperatures and warm friendships.

Winter Skal, Vienna lager from Capital Brewing....
The second beer of 4 from my cross border raid, this was an excellent, daring iteration of what I've come to expect from a Vienna, with a solid hops hit right from the get-go, which settled into a spice taste with a smooth malt finish. Good aroma.
I'm really liking Capital; shares the stage with New Glarus as my favorite Wisconsin brewery.

2nd night on a growler of Middle Ages Dragonslayer.
"Brewed in the style of a Russian Imperial Stout. Strong, chocolatety and aggressively hopped with finest English hops..."
Very enjoyable, but commands respect at 9.5%.

Two opposite ends of the beer spectrum tonight from the same local brewer.
Another one from a local brewery. I’ve decided that this spring and summer I need try a lot more local brews. Cheers and hope everyone has a good weekend.
I think I would like the top one more. But I like supporting the locals as well my friend.

NOW, after laying 10 months in Bourbon barrels, he has risen again once more...
Well I don't know about all of that, but this was some really nice stout. ABV 13.7 has me walking a little funny, but it sure tasted great. Highly recommended, even if I have no idea how to pronounce the brewery.
Victory Brewing Berry Monkey Fruited Sour Tripel (9.5% ABV)
The raspberry note is there but it's subtle. Quite enjoyable, imho.

This one was still in the cooler with a half dozen Bud Light aluminum bottles, left over from the weekend’s festivities. The Bud Lights are now next to the hard selzers in the garage refrigerator, waiting for someone other than me to consume them. Night Swim is not a favorite, but it beats Bud Light. Light smoke on the finish.

You're still having serious refrigerator problems, Rick.....
According to the brewmaster at Point Brewery, this seasonal brown ale was inspired by a dream their quality manager had....
It's become a popular offering, with a nice, nutty finish. This ongoing, never-ending affliction I can't seem to shake has really been twisting the flavors of the few beers I've been drinking.
I’m currently down at the Cote d‘Azur. Having a beer and watching the sea will set you back 14-19.50 for 500ml draft Lager (Leffe, 1664, Grimbergen).

Loretta's Dark Lager, Indeed Brewing, Minneapolis -
My friend, who's wife's name is Loretta, found a six pack of this in his Christmas stocking and he wanted to share. Very enjoyable, malty with a cola-like sweetness. I think my forever cold is finally breaking; I could actually taste this!

Oooo.... That is a beautiful, tempting color my friend!
Since we're clearly still in Winter here (5-10" forecast for tonight), I will avail myself of one of the precious few benefits of living in the cold, dark North woods: Syrup!
