Kirin Light with Japanese take-out food.

At Feierabend in Seattle -

.5L Paulaner Octoberfest
1L Spaten Octoberfest

lately, lots and lots and LOTS of schneider brooklyner hopfen-weisse. yes, it's that time of year again, where i wipe each and every whole foods out of it's stock, like the borg assimilating another species. resistance is futile.

T-Bird LOL - that's good stuff right there.

Drew, is there a place named Feierabend in Seattle or is that what you drink while watching Ryan Feierabend pitch for the M's? (you may need something stronger in that case)

Place called Feierabend :-D Amazing little German pub with a beer list that will knock your socks off... I refuse to watch the M's, or even baseball in general. May sound funny, but I was the biggest baseball fan through 1994. Loved the Tigers and the Giants, and was watching Matt Williams en route to a ton of records that year. And then they went on strike.

Now it's NFL for fantasy football and college hoops. That's about it...

wow, where did the summer go? is it pumpkin time of the year already??? just brought home some imperial ( http://www.weyerbacher.com/cwo.php?id=7&page_id=16 ) and some smuttynose pumpkin ale ( http://www.smuttynose.com/beers/seasonal_beers/smuttynose_pumpkin_ale.html ) . nice!

Had a Boddington's last night. Quite enjoyable. I could have used a few more!

Breckenridge Avalanche Ale

just refilled my growlers with my two favorite breweries, sixpoints (righteous rye) & captain lawrence (liquid gold)...looking forward to meeting the brewer of kelso of brooklyn on tuesday at bierkraft:

Speaking of Brooklyn... I'm trying to figure out if I'll be buying anymore Brooklyn Pennant Ale... s'ok stuff I suppose.

my wife just got back from ireland and brought me back some guiness foreign stout. i guess you can only get this recipe there? or at least, not here?

just left beer table with scott from captain lawrence. tasted thru a few new recipes, including the nor'easter which was godhead ( http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/12959/35242 ) and xtra gold ( http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/12959/32269 )...
scott most certainly remembers benchland (call him already!) and hasn't made anything elderberry since from when you remember! but "thanks for the memories"... :-)

wiml, he no ships. he encourages me to ship.lol to you. sooo....you *need* a care package. please email, text or vulcan mind meld me where i can attempt to send. we won't make it extravagant in case something goes awry.

just got home and the wife had open some peche mortel ( http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1141/10325/ ). this would have pnsplyr running for his life.

my buddy mike reff is awaiting the arrival of his sun, inducement begins in the morning, so he's coming by and i am thinking of opening an aged loring. lol. a 2004. oh my!

Had a Birra Moretti La Rossa and Kasteel Donker (from 750) this weekend. While the former was OK, the latter was awesome.

Moose's Tooth Picadilly Pale -
refreshing stuff
beer of the month

Juggernt: you know how Vogin says he "doesn't get" Italian wines? I feel the same way about Italian beer.

Been going through some River Horse brews lately... they are out of Lambertville, NJ.
http://www.riverhorse.com/

The Tripel Horse was a pretty complex high alcohol Belgian... Will be trying more from this place. Much of it is sold locally.
They have some great Pale Ale's as well, though I'm starting to stray from that style.

Dogtoberfest
Curve Ball

Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale - I could drink this stuff until I turned blue. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I'm halfway there already :-D

JB (Josephsbrau) Oktoberfest - awful. Really struggling with whether I want to just throw it out, or save it and use it to marinate sausages at some point. Yech.
