We were sitting at the bar at The Brass Tap yesterday and got into conversation with the couple next to us. He was drinking I think Samuel Smith Chocolate Stout and a strawberry beer from the same brewer. And mixing them in the same glass. He gave me a taste and it was like a liquid PB&J.

I've had good luck with their wine, though--while there is some crap on their shelves, if I buy 4 random bottles of red usually 3 of them are pretty good considering the price.

I know I've mentioned it before in this thread, but another great summertime drink is mixing Guinness with a cider (I'm partial to pear ciders, but apple is just as good).

I'm partial to Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest. It's a little lighter & hoppier than most "fest" beers.

And FYI, summer is barely past. Yes, it was in the 60's here this morning but I can still tolerate that. I won't hibernate until we see the 40's overnight or fail to rise above 60 by noon. You need to move south, brother.

We went out for "just one" last night and the bar was down to the last 3 cans of Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin. Mrs. BV is headed out of town for the next 4-5 days so I'll be out on the town - good to know I can't go back to Little Village unless I want to drink something else.

Enjoyed a RubberSoul Paceline Session IPA tonight at dinner. Very enjoyable for a session IPA.

Pabst Blue Ribbon. Tomorrow I leave for Carlsberg land (CPH) so will sample the local beers. Life is good. ^

Reloaded!
-Ommegang GoT Valar Dohaeris Tripel - I'm really excited about this one, as the dubbel (Valar Morghulis) was by far the best GoT beer I've had so far. However, they seem to have made far less of this than any of the GoT-themed beers dating back to the original Iron Throne ale 3-4 years ago. It wasn't even in the beer section of the local Whole Foods, just a small 3-high display in the main store. Grabbed four...will enjoy 2 on the next season's commencement and generously age the others (I have an entire set of GoT-themed beers on original run aging in the fridge and wine cellar)
-Stone Xocoveza - not a milk stout guy at all, but this is spiced up like Mexican chocolate (as the name may suggest). Digging it.
-Boulevard Brewing - The Sixth Glass Quadrupel - have enjoyed their beers generally, but quadrupels tend to be pretty mean...looking forward to trying one later tonight or on Wednesday
