What beer did you drink today?

Yesterday I had a Boulevard Saison-Brett that was surprisingly good. I'm not one to search out sour or brett beers but this one was so highly rated I had to try it when it showed up at shops around DFW.
 
Spent the weekend in Kernville and on Lake Isabella. Did some whitewater rafting and just relaxing. Between 3 of us over 3 days, we emptied 6 growlers from Kern River Brewery: Just Outstanding IPA, Sequoia Red, and Class V Stout....Not to mention also enjoying to myself some bombers of: Anderson Valley Anniversary Imperial IPA, Rogue Shakespeare Stout, and Port Brewing Wipe Out IPA. Was a fantastic beer filled weekend!!!
 
Last night I had some BCS that was house smoked. It was bit flat, but still tasted good. The reason I think it was flat is that the seal on the top melted a little and allowed air in. I'm going to open a few more of the beers that survived during this week and am thinking of doing a review on them.
 
Weihenstephaner Kristall Weissbier - Went down so quick, I had to have another! ;)

Went to Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis (one of my favorite brewpubs hands down).

Abominable (Coffee porter) - I think I drank this one before it got a chance to warm up. Good flavor but just tasted like iced coffee
Coconut Jack Frost (Coconut Imperial Stout) - Way too much coconut for me. It is a "gotta be in the right mood flavor" for me and I just was not feeling it tonight
American Craft Beer Wheat - This one was brewed special for American Craft Beer Week. Not as wheat flavored as I would expect from an unfiltered wheat
1800 Old English IPA Cask pour - Had it from the keg about a month ago and now I tried out the cask. Both excellent, all I need now to is to catch them before all of the damn growlers are gone next time.
Hope and King Scotch Ale - Just a sample shot on this last, unfortunately and it tasted like apple, which I am pretty sure it would not have right out of the gate.

Overall there were only two beers that I would go growler on and those are the Abominable and the Wheat. The 1800 I would buy 10 of them if they had them right now.

Eventually tonight or tomorrow I will be dipping into my own Double IPA home brew and I cannot wait!
 
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine. Heads up tasting between the 2008 and 2010. Took notes during the tasting, I'll write up something a little more formal later.
 
Threw my brother a birthday party, and had an Irish theme.

Murphy's Stout (draught can)
Guinness Stout (draught can)
Smithwick's (bottle)
Wexford Irish Cream Ale (draught can)

I would pick a Murphy's over a Guinness after sampling this stout.

Not sure if I would pick a Wexford over a Boddington's, I'd have to do a head to head on that one.
 
Broke into the home brewed double IPA. I am not a huge hophead so this was little powerful for me. My two close friends who really enjoy IPA's gave it rave reviews though.
 
Well I just had a velvety, silky, roasty, med bodied stout and probably one of the best in a while.
Brewmasters Reserve Imperial Stout 2008, thanks to a montana local this was a treat and a half. I have been sick these past 3 weeks so last night I got my taste buds back I decided to treat myself and boy what a treat. Not a very thick or chewy stout but very drinkable and smooth. I loved it... too bad there are no more :(

Thank you brother from Montana!
 
I had a bottle of Port Brewing's Hop-15 DIPA last night. Buzzed me up pretty good at 10% ABV. Really reminded me of Dogfish 90 min in flavor and profile.

I haven't tried the Imperial, but their regular Coconut Milk Stout is one of my favorite beers. Personally, I'm glad they put the coconut up front. Great beer.
