I've been having many of the beers listed on the "Up Next" section of the site, but I have not felt inspired to post. Though, I have come to realize that there are very few beers these days that I buy that I really dislike, but I am more than certain one will come at some point. That should be a fun post.
Here's a rundown of what I have had:
1. Caldera IPA - Beer in cans is awesome. Bud, etc has made you think cans are for shitty beer; this is not true. Craft beer from cans is AWESOME. Plus, this is the best IPA in my parts that I can find everyday. It is a great "everyday" beer that I don't drink enough of since I get hypnotized by all the "special" (see: expensive) and seasonals on the shelf. It's hard to contain the LBN (that's the last time I use that, sorry) at the store with all those different, tasty looking brews.
2. Oakshire Strong Ale (16 oz growler fill) - pretty good, not great. Would get on tap again but not seek out.
3. Uinta Anniversary Barley Wine - pretty mediocre b-wine. Not bad, not note worthy. Good price ($10 for a 6'er of 10%+ beer), but I'll get some Bigfoot or something else.
4. Great Divide Colette - A real nice saison, and it comes in a six pack! Awesome. If you like saisons, get this. It's not going to change your life, but it'll make you wonder why you've been paying so much for saisons all this time.
5. HOTD Adam - I LOVE this beer. I usually pick one up on a trip to the store. So good. So, so good. I think I will write a poem one day about this beer. No, I won't, but I will get a lot more of them as time goes by. Get one - you'll love yourself for it.
6. Non fermented barley soda beverage - a lesson in why we should always ferment this stuff. Never again. Never.
**Disclaimer: I realize that looks like a lot of beers for one man, but realize I buy single 12oz bottles, and it was the weekend. 5 beers over from Fri-Mon is barely more than one a day (this is for my parents).
Oh yeah, I saw Fleet Foxes yesterday, it was awesome. I have been pretty obsessed with thier new record, but this one is from the last. Mmmmm:
