March 30Mar 30 I've tended to go in the hot summer months and often had the place almost entirely to myself.
March 30Mar 30 Here's an unusual one ... imperial lager aged in bourbon barrels with hops terpenes added. Four of the six who tried this didn't like it. I did. More herbal than liquor-like to me. Louis XIII from O'So in Plover, WI in a bomber. Power out on our block because of an ice storm, so we moved up to the living room for happy hour.
April 5Apr 5 Knocked back a couple of Tennent's lagers, then closed with this one at dinner in my wife's home town, near Ayr, Scotland:
April 6Apr 6 Warmonger extra pale ale by Austin Beerworks. I didn’t even know this was a thing until I saw it at the gas station. Tastes similar to their American pale ale Flavor Country, but lighter. Only 5% abv which is fine since I’ve already had several drinks today
April 8Apr 8 Stewart's ESB at Bow Bar in Edinburgh. Cheers to the Surly who recommended this place: Edited April 8Apr 8 by zlavydra

At this point I've been afraid to drink them for fear of creating a magma flow from my colon. If you survived this relatively free from harm I'd like to know and it might encourage me to go ahead and drink them.

April 8Apr 8 Bloodwork Orange by Austin Beerworks. A blood orange ipa. Name based on the movie title “A Clockwork Orange”. 7% abv. I’ve tried several other blood orange beers, but none as good as this one
April 9Apr 9 Grand Fir Brewing in Portland. Foxglove Session IPA. I haven’t drank much beer lately but goddamn this may get me off the bench.

April 16Apr 16 Real Ale Brewing - Hill Country Bock, 4.9% Alc. 👎 ... Doesn't do it for me. Your mileage may vary.

When on the East coast and it is priced correctly as a value beer, Yuengling delivers better than other "value" beers, IMHO. When, like TExas, it starts getting priced into far better crafts and such, there's no way I'm choosing it first.
April 16Apr 16 Yuengling's not supposed to be viewed like a craft beer. It's a macro lager that's better than other macro lagers. That's it.

April 17Apr 17 40 Days and 40 Nights by Lazarus Brewing. West coast IPA. 7.5% abv. I’ve never had it before, but they have it on tap tonight at the Disch so I gave it a shot. Very nice. Would order again

Usually get a Jellyfish but this is a good alternative. Great night...beer at the Disch is some of the best beer. Edited April 18Apr 18 by PantsTent
April 18Apr 18 40 days and 40 nights by Lazarus Brewing. This time at Lazarus Brewery. It actually tasted better last night at Disch Falk
April 19Apr 19 40 Days and 40 Nights by Lazarus on a Good Friday has to be some kind of Holy Trinity, no?
April 23Apr 23 Bone Church Polotmavý (Czech Amber - literally "half-dark) from Athens' Creature Comforts.
April 25Apr 25 Couple of stouts that are virtually indistinguishable in photos but very different on the palate. Heard that Surly's 2024 Chocolate Limoncello Darkness was on tap downtown so made a special trip to try it; the guys at our basement happy hour, which I missed about three weeks ago, said it was surprisingly good (one of them had brought it from the Twin Cities). I didn't believe it could be good at all. But it was. The lemon overshadowed anything else for me, but not to the point of being overbearing or dominating. Good stuff. The second is Central Waters El Ganador, an imperial stout aged in tequila barrels with coffee beans and cocoa nibs. Cocoa and coffee were not too much. Didn't get the tequila, but I rated this a 4.25 on Untappd, which would be top 10-15 percent for me. Liked it a little better than the Darkness, which I gave a 4. Early Friday drinking at one of our semi-traditional bars downtown (meaning it's only about 50 years old but has long ties to our culture, especially where I work). My wife didn't complain when I went, even though she was home cooking tortillas, as she doesn't work Friday afternoons. Thus the pic of these jalapeño-cilantro tortillas to separate the two fine stouts.
