Since I've had difficulties finding it at home, I've been enjoying a decent amount of Innis & Gunn Bourbon Barrel and Rum Barrel beers. They also have a very clever non-alcoholic pale ale called Innis & None. :D
I've also been sampling a plethora of Czech beers not named Pilsner Urquell or Staropramen.

yes, but I’m not too old as long as I can still find my way to the bar. actually, I think I just get excited in the presence of all those taps. |
I don't know what I'll be drinking yet, but on the way home last night I noticed that our new brewery, Salty Oak is open for business. Their website seems a bit unpredictable, but last night it mentioned a half dozen of their own on tap along with over a dozen guest brews. I can't find my growlers - they were boxed up when we left the house - so I'm hoping they will be available on site for some take-home beer tonight.

No beer ready yet at Salty Oak but 32 guest taps. Tried 5 and Ubered home. Woke up at 3:30 am and found a growler in the fridge. Ready for Waffle House but need to find my truck first. Wicked Week Pernicious IPA - unique & outstanding Tampa Bay Reef Donkey IPA - weak & mild Destin Emerald Koast Kolsch - I honestly don’t remember drinking this Dogfish Head Dragons & Yumyum pale ale - not the burst of dragonfruit I had hoped for 3rd Planet Dark Side of the Moon hazy IPA - excellent example of the New England style Staying in tonight. |

LOL, that sounds like it was a great night!
Unfortunately, they only sell beer which means Mrs BV will not be joining me here. No wine = no Mrs BV. |

I had a good time talking to 2 of the owners, a couple that started out supplying the home brewer market and expanded into brewing. They’re still a couple weeks away from being able to sell their own product. Unfortunately, they only sell beer which means Mrs BV will not be joining me here. No wine = no Mrs BV. |
Enjoyed a couple of pints from Russian River tonight. First a Blind Pig IPA, followed by a Shadow of a Doubt Porter. As their new brewery has ramped up production, it's nice to see more of their stuff making it up to Tahoe.

In Toronto -- had Left Field Laser Show IIPA at the hotel bar, very good IIPA -- goes down smooth for an 8%

In Nashville the past 3 days. Yesterday at BNA, had a New Heights TryeStar Rye IPA. The night before, had the Black Abbey The Rose belgian blonde. I don't remember which local brew I had the night before that, but it was a blonde.

In Mass. for 10 days. Sam Adams Boston Lager last night. Harpoon IPA tonight. I will be searching out the local local brews tomorrow - Berkshire Brewing, if it’s still in operation. |
Some locals we tried at my sister-in-law’s in western MA. Berkshire Brewing Coffeehous porter Big Elm Brewing Beer With No Name Czech pilsner Two Roads Brewing Two Juicy New England Style IPA All good, maybe a little disappointed in the IPA. Harpoon IPA on tap virtually everywhere we went when nothing else was available. |
I made day trips to PIT and BTV the past week and brought back a ton of Dancing Gnome and Foam beer. So that's a lot of what I've been drinking; fantastic IPAs from both.
My favorites so far that I brought back are Dancing Gnome's Stained Glass Ceilings and Foam's The Fruit That Ate Itself. My favorite that I had at either brewery was a tie between Foam's Electric Balloon and When I'm Small--the latter an awesomely flavorful session IPA. |
