to put this line into perspective, this shot is taken from the roof of founders at the back of the building. from seeing my friends pics, i think he was near the front right red car and was 175th in line. for KBS, i was right by where the second car (yellow) on the left and was 150th or so. there is easily another 150-175 people to the right of this shot along the side of the warehouse.

Good lord. No beer is worth waiting in line for that.

Had an Ommegang Chocolate Stout tonight. A Belgian/Stout hybrid it was lighter than a standard stout. Tasty but I'd go for other options instead.

Has anyone heard anything about Backwoods Bastard being released? They just got it in in my local store so I'm wondering if the distributor sent them year old stuff.

It's usually a late October/early November release, but it wouldn't shock me if they released it early this year. Either way, I'd buy up whatever you can, I just had my last bottle from last year and it's even better with a years worth of age on it...

Probably old stuff. One of my bottle shops had a few bottles out two weeks ago and its from there "secret stash" from last year. It was pretty delicious.

I had a very small taste of Brooklyn Brewery's The Companion today. It tasted like perfume in the worst way.

I bought two four packs, hopefully that's enough.

that sounds weird.

I think you mean "weird that sounds delicious" then you are correct!

Blueberry and Mexican Hot Chocolate Bourbon County have been my favorite variations so far, I did skip the line for the Neapolitan (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry) version at Great Taste, but was told it was the greatest version outside of Rare...

It does sound weird. I tried a beer that was aged in rum barrels. It tasted terrible to me... but then again I don't like rum. I'm not a fan of beers like these... chocolate stouts, raspberry stouts. I enjoy sticking to belgian, tripel and wheat beers. There are so many great ones, I never get bored.

welp. i look like ARod in the ALDS searching for CBS. I just paid $5 to get into a lottery and included a sample of CBS. Tasty ****, but isn't worth this ******* fuss. if you have had KBS, you get some extra chocolate and syrup.
