Amen brother. I want to schedule my vacation one of these years so I can go up there for their Dark Lord Day. But really anything and everything Three Floyds is on the bucket list.

Too funny. You have Dark Lord and I have PtY on the bucket list. It won't be long before I take the wife on a mid Feb (Valentines Day even) trip to Santa Rosa and 'magically' appear at Russian River for a taste of the Younger.

I sampled a Plan B IPA tonight. They're a small brewery from Smithers, BC. Talk about out of the way. Not bad, but not enough of a hop blast to satisfy my palate.

What's on tap for Saturday fellas?

For me, it's hockey pictures, then a game to coach, then home for puck drop on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada......wait a second....

Getting pretty fed up with the whole dispute. I sure do miss Saturday evenings. At least there's good beer to fall back on. I've got a 22 oz bomber of Phillips Double Rye PA ready to try.

How about you guys? Here's a shout out to my pal in Penticton....he'll be enjoying a Heineken tonight, then maybe follow it up with a Kokanee.

Cheers boys!

Probably just finishing off my 6-pack of Founders Porter. Old reliable.

Just cracked a local Steamworks Pilsner, just new to bottles. Nice. Anyone else?

Lots of Bitch Creek ESB again tonight plus some Founders Dirty Bastard thrown in for good measure. Really digging the Founders beers. Sucks they were sold out of Breakfast stout at the store I found their beers at, but I'll be back to try again soon.

Can't wait to sample more Founders. The boys are making a trip to Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh in July. I'm sure Founders will be on the menu.

Just cracked that Phillips Super Kryptonite Rye PA. Delicious! Loch...pick some up.

I'm shocked! It's half time in the Grey Cup, most NFL games are over and nobody has any beer to share?

I'll go.

Started off with a sip of Big Rock Espresso Stout...that was all I needed. Weak. But it went perfectly into my White Chili. Not so white anymore, but tastes delicious. New recipe with cocoa, cinnamon, pork, turkey....tastes like Christmas.

I'm onto the ol' faitfhul now.....Red Racer IPA. Sorry Dyz.

Anyone?

Working my way through a Three Floyds Robert the Bruce Scottish Style Ale. Walking Dead on in half an hour, I'm set.

Nice. Not a fan of that style myself, but I'm betting anything by FFF is awesome.

I'm onto a Parallel 49 Hopparazzi. It's an 'India Pale Lager' and it's nice. A great lager with lots of hoppy goodness.
