only a 22oz. or any of the big bottles (like the 1 pint 9 oz. bottles, etc.)?

not yet. it's on my radar though... maybe tomorrow.i did the St Bernardus circle tour tonite.. courtesy of SkylordFurley, did you try the Okocim Porter yet. I pimped that a couple of months ago somewhere in this thread. It is easily one of the best Porters I have ever had. Knowing your preferred style a little, I bet you would really enjoy it.popped in at my hidden secret store up here.. they are really knocking the ball outta the park lately. they hired on some younger guy who's in to the craft brews.. does a little home brewing.
he's "suggesting" some great stuff.
copped two brand new beers, another Fantome Saison (yes!), an Avery Maharaja and an Okocim Porter.
one after the other they kept getting better and better. kicked it off with the Pater 6 and i thought "damn this is a ####### great beer!". then i had the Prior 8 and thought "this is a ####### faaaaaaaaaantastic beer.. this is how they should taste." then i had the Tripel and thought i'd died and went to heaven.
jeebus.. St Bernardus is my new favorite anything.
I did, but I'm still feeling it. Not like last night when I put away a serious volume, but that tipsy feeling is there.Excellent beer - not nearly as hoppy as I expected based on the DFH 90. Maybe the alcohol masked it some, but suspect I'll have to try the 90 again to make sure

I am the Beer God!
Did a few of the potsie BIF batch. Initial impressions:
Yazoo Pale Ale - REALLY well balanced. Hoppy but not overbearingly so on the Amarillo tangerine-ey-ness, with a good malt/grain flavor. Different from a lot of pale ales - happy that I have another bottle to figure out why.
Blackstone Kolsch: Incredibly clean - absolutely no off flavors, which is VERY hard to do on this (or any other lower alcohol) style. Plenty of Vienna malt with a solid noble hoppiness.
Sweetwater IPA: Almost identical to Southern Tier IPA, which is a very good thing, as it's one of my all time favorite IPAs. Citrus hops and caramel malt - yummy!
Terrapin Rye Pale Ale: The rye adds a tasty spiciness to a great American Pale Ale - I could drink this all day long, all summer long, and never complain, not even once.
ANYONE who says that the Southeast is a beer wasteland needs to try these four brews. Are they Hop Devil or DFH 90 minute? Not quite, but damn if they aren't nipping them at the heels. And for a hot day? Built for the purpose.

Dammit. Wife went over and told the neighbor I was working on the fence. He's gonna come over tomorrow with his tractor and use the auger to make quick work of the holes. I was hoping to make this a month long beer drinking project. St. Georges Golden AleProbably. I'm in no hurry.i would bet good money that that ratio does not keep up. I would say, 3:1 beers to holes ratio soon.90 degrees outside. Digging 3 foot deep holes for a fence. 2 holes down. 2 beers down. 26 more holes to go.

Had a Paulaner Hefe and a Shiner Bock earlier over at a buddy's house. Home now and drinking a Ruination, courtesy of Skylord. This IPA has lived up to its billing. Tons of hops and flavor. I love it! This will probably be it for tonight. Can't imagine anything else being a worthy followup to this.

I wish. Only one I had.Another one?

DFH 60 minute
Founders Pale Ale (2)
That was my list tonight. Nothing special, but both are quality enough. Founders is worth a try, and lived up to billing as a dry-hopped Pale Ale (says so right on the front of the bottle). Not the best beer I've had this weekend, but then again, it DID follow the 60 minute, so that's a hard act to follow.

I do. At a couple places here. I usually buy all their stock, then line the bottles up and break them and let the nasty witches-brew spill out into the parking lot drain. Better to get rid of that crap Prohibition-style than allow it to corrupt young innocent lives.

I know you all have been awaiting my DFH RDE quest. Got 2 out of the singles today at the store. Passed on having one in favor of another rasputin. Holy crap. Can a beer be any more perfect? Seriously.
Dallas mavericks = 3-0 when I consume a North Coast beer while watching.

Started out with a Ayinger Celebrator and have been putting down Paulaner Oktoberfests and Hefes since then.

Holes are done. Even with a tractor w/auger it took another 4 hours. I'm tired. Hit the septic lines a few times.Dammit. Wife went over and told the neighbor I was working on the fence.

No damage though. This Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel is mighty damn good right now.

Fun weekend at the beach. Room was better than expected, especially considering I booked it a week before Memorial Day Weekend for $90/night. Great view of the Gulf of Mexico, just steps outside. Heres a few pics.

Pretty good weekend here. Friday night poker and many beers at my place. Saturday afternoon out on the Patio at Town Hall drinking their Warrior DIPA, then bachelor party festivities at night. Yesterday some landscaping then beers and dinner at my dad's.###### Wingnut
