Added a Stone / Maine Brewing collaboration (Dayslayer IPL) - it was okay, kind of disappointing given how much I individually like their beers. Founders Sumatra Brown Ale is excellent, though - very strong coffee flavors, combined with bitter ale - great combo.

Sea dog Sunfish, an ale flavored with peach and Grapefruit. I taste one or the other depending on which side of my mouth I drink from.
It goes nicely with the jerk peach chicken sausages I threw in with the stir fry.

Finally drinking my Cascade Noyaux. Wow, totally unreal beer. Only 10x the cost of most beer.
Picking up a new sixtel from Manor Hill Brewery. Not sure which one, but hoping for Hidden Hopyard which is up there with Maine Lunch IMO.

Tried a Dirty Little Freak from Duclaw last night. Tasted more like coffee than any other beer I've tried. Kept me up half the night too.

Frankly, it's always more satisfying to snap back the top of the can to open it - and doesn't always require you to have a bottle opener handy.

Alley Kat Amber is a subtle amber that I've added to my 'main' beer list alongside Smithwick's as I gravitate to these types of beers rather than the IPA's. Just MHO.

I drank a wheat beer from Miami Brewing, it had an orange peel-ish flavor in the background, at the Craft Bar while Mrs. BamaVol fed the granddaughter. After we picked up my daughter, we headed for the Brass Tap where I had a Big Easy IPA from Abita and a Last Snow from Funky Buddha (still my all-time favorite beer). I talked my daughter into 2 Funky Buddha products; Millions of Peaches and More Moro, both of which she enjoyed. Already planning a return to the brewery in the fall.

I guess I'm simply irredeemable, unable to bring myself to like in of the "flavored" beers I've tried over the years, beginning decades ago with a German encounter with a modest beer flavored with raspberry syrup, and reaching its nadir when a neighbor ruined a BBQ by supplying the beer, Citrus-flavored Coors Light.
There's a tale behind my dislike. Almost 60 years ago, a college room mate and I attempted home-brewing. We had so many empties on the back porch that simply cried for filling! Somewhere, we went wrong. Even long dead rodents wouldn't overcome the sour beer reek in the closet which comprised our brewhouse, where a handful of exploding bottles promised to eat up our security deposit. Then my roomie read that flavoring the brew with orange peel might help cover the "off" taste of our product. It didn't, only imparting a citrusy twang to the undrinkable mess, resembling beer only in having bubbles.
Ever since, any exposure to flavored brews reminds me of my past sins, and a room mate mournfully departed this vale of tears. I think the our beer did it, a long-acting slow poison aggravated by his years of daily consumption of Shiner, the old stuff of memory, and the recent examples, including strawberry and grapefruit, deadly and damnable.
