Had Flossmoor Station's new Smoked Oktoberfest yesterday. Quite nice: not too smoky as many such beers can be, and a gorgeous copper-orange color. As a Mug Club member, I got a free liter, and I have to say it seemed stronger than the advertised 6.5%. I wobbled home on foot and took a 2-hour-plus nap afterward.

Zes Zes Zes - very good since I have had it before - a Binny's here had it stored in the back room and would only let you have one bottle. Just down the street I found a few more.
Risgoop collaboration with Mikkeller
Go to the brewery and you can get 2 cases of 12 of those. And cheaper. Take a friend and get 4!

Yes, now recently available that way in Chicagoland

In Lisbon, IMO it's a toss up for vileness between Sagres and Super Bock. I think the latter is the nastier. Just drink German beer while there. Or wine.

I got pick-pocketed on the subway in Lisbon. Be very careful.

It's still there in the minibar... I'm sticking with wine here. Plenty of time for beer in Germany and Belgium later this month.

Currently going through some Pyramid Heffeweisen.

I'm back in the US for a short time so making my way through all the tasty beers I can get my hands on while I have time.

How was it? The name makes it sound very hoppy.

It would be extraordinarily rude for you to buy the whole case. Leave some for other people.
