Another side note, because of the down economy people aren't buying as much chocolate candy. Most chocolate candy (like a Hershey's bar) is made with cocoa butter, the byproduct of producing cocoa butter is dry cocoa which is sold to make beverages like chocolate milk and things like cake mixes.

Because cocoa butter production is way down dry cocoa prices have skyrocketed as well.

Hope you don't like chocolate milk or hot cocoa too much :D

I had a LaFolie Sour Brown Ale a few weeks ago. Great beer, loved it. But the 22oz was way too much to handle at one sitting.

The rice and barley malt were added together to make the mash for starch conversion and degradation. The resulting sweet wort was then run into the kettle. The honey, grapes, Hawthorn fruit, and Chrysanthemum flowers were then added. The entire mixture was boiled for 45 minutes, and then cooled. The resulting sweet liquid was pitched with a fresh culture of Sake yeast and allowed to ferment a month before the transfer into a chilled secondary tank.

3 beers tonight:

Dogfish Head Red & White - a witbier brewed with Pinot Noir grape concentrate and aged on oak

Goose Island Juliet - an American Wild Ale aged in wine barrels (of unspecified varietal) with blackberries

Rogue John John Dead Guy Ale - Rogue's classic Dead Guy Ale that has been aged in Rogue Distillery's Dead Guy Whiskey barrels (a whiskey, one of three spirits made by Rogue, that is made from the same malt used to make Dead Guy Ale).

I've had Dead Guy Ale a bunch but I didn't know Rogue made whiskey too!!! Is it widely available?

I've never seen any Rogue Distillery products in MO. Oregon would have them for sure, maybe WA and CA. http://www.rogue.com/spirits/spirits.php for a list of Rogue's spirits.

Rogue is doing two more collaborations between their beers & spirits this year: their Hazelnut Nectar beer aged in Rogue Hazelnut Spice Rum barrels and their Juniper Pale Ale aged in Rogue Spruce Gin barrels.

It's not as good as the Boulevard SS Harvest Wheat but for half the price I had to snag 5 bottles.

Yum.

You don't think the Gran Cru is worth $3.98 a bottle?

We will have to just disagree on the Noble Pils. I was excited when it came out and did not care for it.

This beer bar in Denver has Pliny the Elder on-tap, which is a big deal to us non-Californians. I will be drinking like three or four tonight.

Wow, nice score. I've been trying to get Pliny for ages. That Stone RIS is really good, too...

What did you send in trade?
