Man, Texas is coming on strong! I've never considered stouts a 'go-to', but this bitch straight up seduced me!

had the boulevard hibiscus gose...beautiful and delicious, loving all the new gose

This stuff is pretty damn good, possibly better than Warlock.

I can co-sign this beer. I think I may have liked Warlock a tad better, but this is still very good.

My wife reminded me why we got married by coming home from Denver with:

Haandbryggeriet Sur Megge
Picobrou Morpheus Wild
Trinity Saison Man
Crooked Stave Surette Provision Saison
Crooked Stave Saison Vieille Artisanal

If you like brett in your Saison.........This beer is funky. Tasty but overpriced at $8 for 17oz.

I prefer Prairie Hop, but this one was pretty good too.

I have a bottle of Prairie Hop I am saving for the weekend as well as some Funky Galaxy and a 4 pack of Pirate Bomb which was $36. Better be good!

I hear the Bomb! Is wonderful. Never had it, though. I'm not huge into stouts. Let me know what you think of Funky Galaxy. I had a weird experience with it. I had it and didn't like it, but for two months after I couldn't stop thinking about it and wanting to try it again. Got my hands on another bottle, and then didn't like it again. Really weird.

That's interesting as hell.

If you really like Farmhouse Ales I had one from Off Color Brewing (Old brew master from Goose Island) called Apex Predator that I loved. The reviews have been spotty but I was super impressed.

I tried it last month in a growler and enjoyed it! I love farmhouse ales so much that when I went to fill up my growler with Pumking and saw Apex Predator, I bought a second growler on the spot just to try it. I had no idea the guy making it was the old brew master at Goose Island. I've been disappointed with Goose Island farmhouse ales as a whole. Like I said though, I enjoyed the Apex Predator.

I should mention that I'm way down in Louisiana, so I was surprised to find that on tap down here.

You don't like Sophie or Matilda?

This was some great stuff:

Great Weizenbock.

I did like Matilda, but it's a Belgian Pale Ale and I had it the same night I had Orval, and Orval is a step above to me.

Sofie was fine, but I was expecting a bit more.

The one that really threw me off of them was Gillian, I believe. It was so sour it was like I was drinking a warhead candy. My mouth was wore out after I finished it, and my stomach was upset. That and Pepe Nero was disappointing.
