I pumped the brakes and called it a night on beer. I've learned my lesson many many times. Lol

Boulder Strong Ale Fest was awesome on Saturday. The new Avery brewery is perfect for hosting beer festivals. They moved the brewery out a little bit farther from downtown Boulder, but they have so much more space now -- both indoor and outdoor. It was a beautiful, sunny 75 degree Colorado spring day with your choice of 112 different beers of 8+% ABV. Some of my favorite beers of the day included:
Avery LaStarya imperial stout with coffee, chocolate, and vanilla beans (17.1% ABV)
Avery Ian McKellen golden strong ale with lemon, lime, pink grapefruit, oroblanco, blood orange, and cumquats (12% ABV)
Avery Double Dry-Hopped Maharaja imperial IPA (10% ABV)
Comrade Quit Stalin Russian imperial stout (11% ABV)
Deschutes the Abyss imperial stout aged in bourbon, oak, and pinot noir barrels(11% ABV)
Dry Dock Bligh's Barleywine aged in whiskey barrels (9% ABV)
Elevation False Summit quadruple aged in bourbon barrels (11.7% ABV)
Firestone Walker Velvet Merkin imperial oatmeal stout aged in bourbon barrels (9% ABV)
Gravity Barrel-Aged Mendacious Belgan golden strong ale aged in rum and red wine barrels (8.1% ABV)
Great Divide Yeti imperial stout aged in whiskey barrels (12.5% ABV)
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout (14% ABV)
Horse & Dragon Rum Barrel-Aged Coconut Porter (9.3% ABV)
Lost Abbey Track #8 quadruple aged in bourbon barrels with cinnamon and dried chiles (13.7% ABV)
New Belgium Blackberry Barleywine (12% ABV)
Powder Keg Pride of Palisade imperial saison with Palisade peaches (8.5% ABV)
River North Barrel-Aged Avarice aged in whiskey barrels (11.5% ABV)
Avery LaStarya imperial stout with coffee, chocolate, and vanilla beans (17.1% ABV)
Avery Ian McKellen golden strong ale with lemon, lime, pink grapefruit, oroblanco, blood orange, and cumquats (12% ABV)

I was pretty proud of myself for managing to stay within brown out territory without going into full-blown black out mode. I credit my multi-pronged approach of (1) drinking lots of water, (2) eating lots of barbecue beforehand, (3) eating lots of pretzels during the festival; and (4) trying to somewhat pace myself.Wingnut said:

I had a chance to get some of that...I declined, and am regretting it now...have been hearing good things about it, and I think they have like a 10% version of it?

10% is draft only for now, and they also have made some stronger versions as well. They offered a 19% keg to the beer mgr where I get my beer at.

That was excellent, it will be very interesting to see what cans they start rolling out. As well as how distributing to NY will affect Chicago.

I'm not in on this hard root beer craze. I don't drink hard lemonade either. I've had a hard ginger beer I thought was alright though. In general though, if I'm not drinking beer, I'll take a good cocktail or some straight hooch.

I kinda just want to try it. Three Palms in Tampa had some on tap recently, if they make it again I'll try itIf I'm not drinking beer I'm not drinking. Never touch liquor...well, a bloody Mary or a Caucasian once in a great great while but that's about it.Sebowski said:

Blind tasting of 116 american IPAs....and the winner is?
http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/04/blind-tasting-116-of-the-best-american-ipas-we-hav.html
A lot of great beers not in the tasting, but a few surprising high finishers. Senita IPA at 13 - can't say I disagree, its one of the biggest surprises I've got while trading, just a great friggin beer.
Also surprising is Blind Pig not making the top 50...I haven't had it but know its highly rated...makes me wonder how I'd rank these beers in a blind tasting.
I've had 17 of the top 50 and 7 of the top 15...looks like I've got work to do!

I know I've asked before with no response. But has anyone else tried this? It's my go to beer now at home. It's also a new way of getting fresh hops.
Ran across this list of best IPA's. Very well written. What I would of given to be a judge.

I have had it. At first I wasn't overly impressed but when I had another one a couple days later for some reason I thought it was much better.
Vallejo is good ####.If you like Senita wait till you try Vallejo, I think it's better.
Also,it was cool to see Wobble on that list. I was pleasantly impressed with that one.

Cool, To me it's a must to have in a glass. The smell is just like a hops room. So great.

Yeah, I always pick up some Brew Kettle White Rajah (as well as Black Rajah) when I am in Ohio visiting my mom. It is definitely a great IPA that I would recommend checking out.

Not drinking yet, but got my hands on some elusive Treehouse Brewing beers for later...no Julius, but I'm not complaining, been wanting to try anything from these guys, and all 3 are pretty highly rated.

I have had it from tap and bought a 6 pack. I don't know if this makes sense but something about it strikes me as oily. It also seems to give me a little indigestion after I drink it I have these litte hop burps. I don't have that with any other beers just kind of odd.ditka311 said:
