BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Beer O da day!

Four Busch tallboys.......... Boiled my brats right up in them with onions and butter!
I had Black & Blues at the bar tonight with some of our work crew. Does that count? Cause I had a lot of them...
My go-to bar beer drink. Yum.

wtf
I really enjoy this one...the WTF and the little sumpin sumpin are prolly my two favorites from Lagunitas. Hop stoopid would round out the top 3. I just wish they would make em by six packs like they do the sumpin sumpin and I'd buy em' a lot more than I do currently.
I despise stronger high alcohol beers bottled in big bottles. 22-25oz is a commitment unless you're sharing when you have a very full bodied typically sweeter 10% beer. I buy them though because sometimes that's the only packaging they come with.
I drank some Coffee Porter from Philadelphia Brewing Company last night. The beer really isn't all that great. The must have used shitty coffee because it has that bitter coffee flavor not a smooth coffee flavor. So I've been putting a couple dashes of vanilla extract to take the edge off. I also did honey in one but the vanilla was a better pair. I have also put a little bourbon in the mug which helps cover the bitterness with the sweet bourbon flavors.

I enjoyed a Leine's Big Eddy from last years release. I seen there is another release so hopefully it's an annual release now. I also read that Leine's is starting a barrel aged program starting with Big Eddy being aged in two types of barrels.

In the last few days I've downed two bottles of Boulevard Saison-Brett and tonight I'm polishing off a bottle of Nommo Dubbel.

Having a few skullaspliterrs yum! Always enjoy a Scottish beer every now and again from my usual deutsch bier.
Pumpkin carving night.....
Startin'er off w/ a Russian River Supplication.....and after the first few sips I can't tell if I'm drinking wine, or beer...lol. My first real experience w/ a sour though, so have to guess this is one of those "acquired tastes" type things...
Interesting to say the least, and a very unique experience thus far.

Started my day/night with a Jolly Pumpkin La Roja. Then moved to a Boon Geuze. Next I'm not sure but I forsee an all our night.
OOh and yeah, sours are an acquired taste.

Yup....definitely can see that. Just finishing off the bottle now, and it's definitely growing on me already. The sour cherries, and the oak really come through, and I don't think I would avoid buying again....but not sure I'd seek it out right away either.
Next up....Saison Dupont Belgian Farmhouse :bottle: (if I were 20 something again, I'd be shit-faced at a Halloween party somewhere. Oh how the tides have turned...:laugh

I popped open a bottle of Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza. It has a similar brett flavor that all Jolly Pumpkin beers are familiar for but there is still a slight pilsner malt sweetness.

With lunch today I had a bottle of Sonora White Chocolate Ale...
If you like white chocolate, this is an incredible ale. Non-existent hoppiness, like drinking liquified white chocolate. I was expecting it to come off more like a stout than an ale, which it kind of did despite being light in color.
