Firestone Walker came to KC today. Got a bottle of 14, Double Jack, and the Porter. Abacus was all sold out by the time I could leave work. Boulevard Imperial Stout came out today as well as KBS. Liquor stores made a lot of money today!

That Hairy Eyeball didn't do it for me either. One of the few Lagunitas beers that I haven't liked. Lucky 13 was another. They don't seem to do malty well, unless it has an assload of hops. Can't beat Hop Stoopid or some of their other bombers at that price.

Imperial Stout comes out this week. Let me know if you'd like a couple of bottles. The limited Smokestacks have been going fast lately in KC. I don't think that they will have another batch of Rye-On-Rye until next year. That one was very tasty. Saison Brett will come out again this summer...

It was really good fresh, it would be interesting to try it now.

Drank one of my 09s a couple weeks ago, and it was nice.

Finally scored a bottle of Hoptimum.

This year's BBQ was so good. Wish I had bought more than one bottle.

Stone Vertical Epic 10 (thanks Justin). Very wine like with some floral notes from the chamomile. Interesting, but I wouldn't go out of my way to seek out more. My wife, who is more of a wine lover, really liked it. I can't see this aging well. I shared an 07 with some guys recently, and it had...

I'd get some friends together and make a night of it. I finally tracked down a six yesterday at my favorite out of the way store.

I'm having a tough time tracking this one down. Wasn't at the office yesterday, and everyone sold out. :angry:

I've been drinking Boulevard's Dark Truth with cigars lately. Baltic porters and dopplebocks always work for me as well. Something with some malthy sweetness. Hoppy beers don't really work for me with cigars, although I'm a big fan of hops.

This came out in Kansas on the 23rd, and I totally missed it :( Still hoping the Missouri side gets some.

Been loving the Verocu No. 5 and Petite Cazadores. Need to find some of this years Backwoods Bastard. Sounds like a great combo.

No wonder this stuff is going fast this year!

The lil smokies are the best, especially when the store lets you mix and match. Had a Dark Truth with a cigar on Saturday and a Sixth Glass on Monday. I plan on keeping Tank 7 in the fridge regularly. Great price too.

We haven't seen it in KS or MO yet. I'll keep my eyes open, but we didn't get much of the Coffee either. I never even saw it.

That was good stuff last year. I haven't been trading lately, but that is something working getting.

We don't get Stone in Kansas or Missouri.

Can one of you California guys hook me up with a few bottle of this year's VE? I'm sure I can find you something good in return. Bell's, Founder's, Boulevard or Schlafly, etc.

That Schlafly Pumpkin is good stuff. Good amount of spice and a big body.
