Let's talk good beer

lunch trip to DC was kinda crazy. i was rushing so i just put "whole foods P st wash dc" in my apple map app and it put a pin on P street and N Capitol. after driving through traffic and lane closures on Georgia Ave i get to some little mom n pop corner grocery store. wtf.

i then google for the actual addy for whole foods, drive the 10m mins across DC, find it.

the selection was a lot smaller than i expected. they had good stuff but id rather just drive to magruders or rodmans in DC for bigger selection.

but i got me some breakfast stout. really excited. never had it. i looked last year and just couldnt find it. they only had 3 4packs on the shelf so i bought them all. i feel like an ahole clearing the shelf before a friday night but i get 1 to drink this weekend, 1 to save for thanksgiving and 1 to give to someone.

the office did call after an hour or so with a passive aggressive "just checking" call.

OTM - Awesome that you got the breakfast stout. Those fools should have beaten you to the punch.

Had my bomber of Enjoy by 10/31/15. Tropical notes are nice. Hoppy for sure. Contemplating another beer, but I'm pretty sure my palate is shot.

Just found a new beer store near me...another enjoy by bomber and some cigar city jai aila 6 pack. Don't think I've had it.

Breakfast stout is just sooo good

Jai aili...has a lot of upfront bite, first impression. Heavy body, doesn't drink light. Def good, has a little of that syrupy finish, like Sierra has...not my favorite but very solid.

Berkshire lost sailor, just a delightful iPa...brought back some ommegang rare vos and hop house for a bon fire tomorrow night.

Also had to pick up the stone's bomber enjoy by. Always a dank ass treat


Yes it is!Just got back and tried it and all I can say is Thank You.Brought a case of that and the BBC Steel Rail Pale Ale back from Mass the Mrs and I enjoyed some while cooking a couple of steaks on the grill after watching the Maryland Penn State game ,a very good afternoon!!!

Idk if anyone else has tried this but I had the Oyster Stout from Flying Dog at the tailgate yesterday and I didn't enjoy it at all. Tasted like chocolate coffee beer. Other than that the rest of the Flying Dog variety pack was great though.

Went to Asheville, NC for a wedding this weekend. On Friday we stopped in Harrisonburg, VA for some eats and grabbed a Pale Fire double IPA. I have to admit up until that point I have been less than impressed with VAs craft brews but that was a solid IPA. When we got to Asheville went straight for Greenman Brewing my wife had the IPA and I had the ESB (not a beer we get a lot of in Maryland and I love them) both really good. Had a Catawba Brown Bear Ale that was alright but not hoppy enough for me. Next we went to Wicked Weed tried a few of their IPAs the best we had was their Freak of Nature that my wife tried. The next day off to Hi-Wire that also was a really solid IPA. Unfortunately the wedding got in our way of more brewery touring.

Been wanting to go to Asheville. How was it? Must be a ton of good beer there huh?

i liked the breakfast stout, def one of the better stouts/porters i have had but i found the flavor profile to be really mellow. which is good. i liked it, i thought i was going to love it.

i did love kentucky bourbon barrel stout "alltech".
