Had DFH Punkin (Pumpkin) beer last night, it was good but far from great. Mild pumpkin/spice flavor and aroma, decent brown ale base.

What barrel aged was it Albert?

Red Wine Barrels, Rum Barrels, Scotch Peat Whisky Barrels, Bourbon Barrels?


Bell's 9000 was crazy fresh, I think it could have settled down now.

Did my monthly run to the local Total Wine & More last night for my micro-brews (they have a rather nice selection). Picked up more Tommy Knocker Butt-Head double bock and a stash of Magic Hat. Picked up a 6 of #9 (good daily beer), a 6 of the Hex (octoberfest beer) and a 12 pack sampler that contains their new Odd Notion (small release fall seasonal). I'm excited to try out the Odd Notion. Also picked up a couple of big bottles of the Blue Grey Brewery Stonewall Stout.

Last night was a bomber of Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale. The best way to describe this beer would be the evil love child of a Imperial Porter and a IPA. The Hops punch you in the face, and then the bitter roasted flavor runs over and steals your wallet. It was awesome.

I've considered it, but I'm not sure I want to be the lone middle-ager standing in line amongst a thousand 20-somethings. I don't really know any other "beer geeks" locally, and it seems like the type of event where it's best to go with friends. Even at the tour last night I was sort of a loner. I'm guessing there were 75 people there, and almost everyone seemed to have come with one or more friends.

My neighbor sent over some homemade sauerkraut. I made red cabbage with apples and onions, and bought some potato perogies. We've got a boatload of German-style beers: my homebrewed dunkelweizen, Avery Kaiser, Aventinus Eisbock, Weissenohe Monk's Fest. Plus, a liter can & dimple mug of Paulaner Weisn Bier. That's a lot of beer! (The 16 oz can of Surly is alongside for comparison.)
