Man, I haven't tried nearly enough fresh hop beers this year. I know they will still be out there but the season is changing quick. Had a couple of good ones at least. Schooner Exact and Two Beers both had alright ones. Did you guys try and good ones?

Had some Bear Republic brew today - the Racer 5 IPA to be specific. It was good, the finish was a little harsher than I would have hoped though. Still a very solid IPA.

Hanging out at my parent's house right now and we cracked open a Pond Hopper. It is a Double Extra Pale Ale collaboration beer from Odell Brewing (CO) & Thornbridge Brewing (UK).
My Dad is a huge UK beer style fan and this brew wasn't available in Washington. He emailed the Odell owner and got them to send a bottle out and I am pretty sure he is as excited right now as you all were for Deacon this weekend.
The beer is pretty good. Pretty sweet. I would say a 4/5 (i am not good at putting figures and words with my ratings but whatever).

Tried a fresh hop pale called 'The Most Interesting Beer in the World' from a new Portland brewery called Gigantic Brewing, and damn if it wasn't tasty as hell.

After that Phillips label I feel that I know who Deltasigchi4 is. That label is bad ass as usual and I am jealous I can't have Phillips regularly as usual.

Haha, I thought it was already common knowledge. I've just been too lazy to change it all back.

Ha, it probably was common knowledge. I am just a little slow

Tomorrow Green Frog (Bellingham) is putting a strong IPA tap lineup on.
Brave Horse Imperial IPA (Schooner EXACT), Hop Crisis Imperial IPA (21st Amendment), Wisdom Seeker Double IPA (Black Raven), Yellow Wolf Imperial IPA (Alameda), Double Jack IPA (Firestone Walker), Double IPA (Kulshan), Bourbon 101 Imperial IPA (North Sound), Industrial Double IPA (Diamond Knot), Double IPA (Pike), Hop 15 Double IPA (Port).
This is awesome because I am going to see Halloween at The Pickford Theater tomorrow and now pre-funking is that much more rad.

It is really tough to go to a 2x IPA night like last night on a work day. I wanted to try all of them but I wouldn't have been able to get up this morning if I did that. I did try Alameda's Yellow Wolf and Port Hop 15. Both were very easy to drink and very strong. The Yellow Wolf was more my style than the Hop 15 but they were both tasty.
Took sips of the Kulshan and the North Sound Bourbon. The 2x IPA that was in bourbon barrels had a harsh first sip but once your pallet adapted to the bourbon shock it was quite nice.

Yellow Wolf is delicious. Deceptive little ass-kicker, though.

Yellow Wolf is delicious. Deceptive little ass-kicker, though. Deeptive ass-kicker for sure. It seemed smoother than normal IPAs but then I stood up

Do you guys love great craft beer? Do you get super excited while strolling the beer isle when you see new releases from your favorite breweries? Do you love a good imperial IPA, double red, or oak-aged stout? Then never move to Texas (as if you needed a reason).
I'm gonna shotgun a few Lone Stars later today. Then tomorrow I am meeting a fellow boarder in Austin. Any guesses on who that might be?

I wish you could be there too!
Does anyone want to send me a 22oz of Pumpkin beer? Nobody sells any down here and I am hankering for one (actually there is a brewery in Austin that makes one but I have heard it is kind of a joke). Help a brother out?

Pure orgasm: I went to University with the head brewer there. Great guy. We're still Facebook friends I think.
