Porters ... very much under appreciated.

I got 4 packs of single cuts jackknife (ipa), desert (dry hopped dips) and cut out bin (pale ale) on Wednesday ... drank the last 2 last night so I’m out of beer. Edible Sunday.

RAR Herb. (west coast dipa) - forgot how much I love west coast ipas ... this was a one time production so im happy i got a pour with dinner and a crowler to go. I dont know if its just the name but it tasted like fresh herbs with a bit of west coast pine to it, clean finish.

RAR imperial first meal (stout) - got a pour with dinner and a crowler to go home. im happy.

Yeah I guess. Last time I went on a beer run I notice many of the Craft Beers now are 4 pk pint cans running around 14/16 dollars a 4pk.


If anyone gets a chance to get up there here are a few that you might enjoy..........

Surly's xtra citra pale ale was on some Maryland shelves. Asked about it, they said about once a year Bond Distributors will call them and offer a Surly as some part of a collab. Said they arent getting any more.

Pale ale was okay, I did enjoy the less than 5% abv as I like to put down 6 or so beers on a saturday night because drinking six or so 8% plus beers = a rough sunday morning with family obligations.

Noticed the same And the cans are all works of art. Makes me wonder if im paying for the art or the beer?
I cant bring myself to pay the 15.99 for four - not when there are still soooooo many good beers for under 15.99.

KBS espresso and KBS maple fudge - picked up a 4 pack of each for $25. Ive never seen a variation of KBS so im excited. My lady is starting to give me guff for coming home with more beer than usual (just loading up on stouts), I explained that with stouts I just throw them in the basement and will drink them over a years time. I dont think she understood it,she just sees me coming home with a box full of beer a week.

left the KBS in my trunk vs bringing it in. ill sneak it in when shes not looking.

Saint Archer Mosaic Double IPA

Its 9%

I typically don't like the taste of IPA's above 7.5-8%. But this one packs a flavor wallop. Was at BevMo, and they sell individual skinny tallboys. Only got 1. You drink 2 of those in a reasonable time frame, and you'll be tuned up.

Goose Island BC stout 2 year reserve ... cost $30, will crack open on xmas eve probably

Monument city early to rise stout - very watery and thin. like drinking a yoohoo. horrible beer

monument city NOBO ipa - really good but not great

burley oak habitual (pale ale) - okay would not buy again

union divine ipa - really good tasty crushable beer at 6.5%, which is my go to type of beer. this, 51 rye or country ride are always in my weekly haul

Took 27 years to make. using 25 year old bourbon barrels then the stout aging 2 years in the barrels.

I love stouts, BA stouts, they are so expensive but I drink them all the time but I just dont like the base taste of BCBS. it has like a raisin taste to it. I thought with all the aging the boozy flavor might mask it but no, I found very little flavor coming from 2 years sitting in a barrel.

Odd and disappointing stout. probably the last time I do a BCBS anything.

Nostalgia for older maryland beer heads -- just saw Wild Goose Winter Ale back on shelves .. taking me back to my teenage years. if only Petes Wicked came back and did their winter ale.
