    Enjoying a Madtree Entropic Theory IPA while watching MNF. From the rim of the can:

    From tornadoes emerge sharks.
    From chaos emerges order.
    From fermentation emerges beer.


    (Here endeth the lesson for the day.)

    Well, I guess Sharknado and beer go along together. What a odd statement.

    Anyone remember what I want to call Red Dog? I may have the name wrong but they had cool things printed on the bottom of the caps, like the one with three dogs and a starry night(get it?).

    I still have a few of the choice caps somewhere in a box. If I find them I'll take some pics. Cool stuff they did even if the beer was kinda crappy.

    Cooler weather seems to have restarted my beer cravings. I picked up some Upper Pass "Cloud Drop" which is their double IPA. It's pretty "juicy" and not very bitter. Good stuff. I've known about it for over a year but it's always been hard to find until I stumbled onto it in a store the other day.

    It may have been Red Bull as the dog mascot was a bulldog. Yeah that makes sense now.

    Get it? Three dogs and a starry night? Come on.

    With the coming of cooler weather, I tend to go to fuller body beers. Saving a 750-ml Founder's KBS for when I turn the big 65 this November. Lors, have moicy.

    Looking forward to my day in court.

    I guess it's time to put on that layer of winter fat.

    Having a Violin Monster by Arbor Brewing. This is a spiced double stout with wheat beer. 9.5 abv. I tried this a few years ago and it wasn't for me but trying it again, I like it. This beer is inspired by an Ann Arbor street musician (I've seen him/her) who wears a wolf costume and head mask and goes up and down the main drag every fall playing the violin. Good player.

    I find Arbor Brewing to be inconsistent, but I like some of their stuff. Don't think I have had that one though.

    The local grocery has Violin Monster for 8.99 a 4-pk so what the hell? Enjoying it but usually not an Arbor fan. This is worth a try.

    Yeah, Arbor Brewing is pretty middle-of-the-road.

    heh... with the coming of every season, I tend to stick with fuller body beers
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    DuClaw Brewing, "Sweet Baby Java" Espresso Bean Infused Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter (12 oz) - Baltimore MD
    Adroit Theory Brewing, "The Devil Made Me", Smoked Porter with Serrano Peppers (22 oz) - Vint Hill VA

    Recent quaffs:



    The bottles I bought were the same size (as each other-22 oz.). Two excellent west coast IPAs.

    Drinking a Lord Hobo Virtuoso New England style Double IPA. I had one of their other offerings, I think it was the Glorious Pale Ale, and wasn't impressed. However, this is top shelf. Highly recommended.

    My wife and I did a double-blind evaluation of Chocolate Porters tonight

    of the 4 we tested, Boulder Brewing's Shake was the clear winner

    Thanks for the reminder, Firth. Been meaning to go down the street to a place that has all the Sierra Nevada ales on tap, and try this year's Oktoberfest.
