There are so many good beers out there it's not worth it.

Because the label picks a fight with you and you can't walk away from a good fight.

Right now, I'm working my way through a pint of Local Species by Blue Mountain Barrel House. It's a Belgian Ale thang.
It's amazing the variety out there these days - even somewhere like the hillbillyland I live in. There are vinyards and microbreweries every-freaking-where.

Full Stone Vertical Epic today...lots of fun, the 02.02.02 held up remarkably well. That the 05.05.05 and the 10.10.10 were the favorites I think

FYI, this just finished second overall in the National IPA Championship. Beat Racer 5, a Fathead beer of some kind, and Founders Centennial en route to the final.Doing Buffalo proud...I wasn't kidding when I said it was probably the best IPA I've ever had.

Thursday night a group of about 10 guys are getting together for a bottle share in honor of a buddy who is getting married Saturday. A bottle of 2011 Utopia will be opened by the host. 
There's nothing anyone else can do to meet the request to "bring a bottle worthy of this bottle share", but gotta make a respectable effort...
I have some solid choices available from when everything was 30% at a local liqueur store that was struggling to pay its bills a few months ago. I've done a pretty good job of pacing myself on those but all the Unibroue and Chimay are gone. Need to figure out which of the remaining stock to bring.

Had a couple limited edition Sweetwater brews last night -- Dank Tank and Red Wheat Wine Ale. Mighty tasty.

Of those pictured (ignoring the Chimay and Unibroue stuff, like you said), I'd go with St. Bernardus Tripel and Ommegang Three Philsosophers. I've not had those Green Flash beers though, those could be decent. Never been a huge fan of the Abbey Ale, but I haven't had it recently. I can't tell what the bottle in the far back left is.How old are the 3 Philosophers/Abbey Ale?

I don't think anyone would turn their nose up at 3 Philosophers. I love that stuff.Alchemy Hour, Belgian strong dark homebrew and some Oscar Blues Old Chubb for me tonight at my NCAA bracket draft with the guys.Thursday night a group of about 10 guys are getting together for a bottle share in honor of a buddy who is getting married Saturday.

2011A college buddy is in town and will be tagging along, so I guess we'll bring four bottles...

Holy ####, des chutes is great IMHO. All.

Maybe I should try for more than 2 cases? My SIL works for Gallo and gets some amazing prices on beer, wine, and liquor. She is throwing a shower and her boss offered her this deal to provide the beer for the shower. She told me she'd hook me up on the order. I had never had Deschutes so I hesitant to commit to much.

Six packs from them cost $15 here so I've never had any from them, but my advice to you would be to get as many cases as possible at that price..

Ok, cool. I will definitely take advantage of this.

I've never had it, but I know the Black Butte porter is very highly regarded. A guy I brew with considers it the best porter money can buy.
Black Butte is pretty good. At $4 it's a no brainer. I was pleasantly surprised with Red Chair NWPA. I would get at least 2 cases of that alone at that price. Haven't tried Mirror Pond or anything else. 6 packs are 7.99 or 8.99 of Deschutes in Chicagoland. At least in my neck of the woods.

My SIL works out of Chicago and said this was about 50% off, so I knew it was a good deal. It's just that there is a lot of good beer,liquor, wine out there and I didn't want a a couple cases of something so-so that would just sit around. $4 sixer is definitely worth pretty good and pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, you should jump on this offer. Deschutes is a great brewery. I really like their Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale. I recall it having really fresh-tasting pine, citrus, and grapefruit hops that were perfectly balanced by a nice caramel backbone. I remember it for being extremely well-balanced and highly drinkable. Last year, it won the honor of "World's Best Beer" from the World Beer Awards. Not sure I'd go quite that far, but it is probably my favorite pale ale and is definitely worth picking up several 6-packs at $4-6 dollars a pack. The Black Butte porter is also pretty great. It has been awhile since I had it, but it consistently gets great reviews on all the beer review websites. I think that the Red Chair NWPA and Black Butte porter are the best options on the list, but at that price I would just go ahead and get an assortment of all of them.

Red Chair NWPA is one of my top 5 favorite beers. It kinda straddles the line between a pale ale and IPA. It is clean, citrusy, and piney, but extremely smooth and easy to drink. I'd skip the Mirror Pond in favor of Red Chair. Black Butte is good, but I am not in the mood for porters all that often. Chain Breaker is the White IPA if I recall correctly. Not something I would typically go for, but it is really good for what it is. Very citrusy and would be a good IPA to drink on a hot summer day.Jump on this deal ASAP!!
