Founder's KBS (2 bottles/person)
Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Rasputin XIV (2 bottles/person)
Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Rasputin XV (2 bottles/person)...
Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Rasputin XVI (2 bottles/person)
Jackie O's Dark Apparition (2 bottles/person)
Thirsty Dog Bourbon Barrel Aged Siberian Night (1 four pack/person)
Evil Twin Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Biscotti Break (1 bottle/person)
Founder's Mango Magnifico (1 bottle/person)
Deschuttes Mirror Mirror (1 bottle/person)

A very special imperial stout from Bell's Brewing Company will also be available. (1 bottle/person)

In addition, we'll be releasing a bunch of beer that Dayton's patron saint of craft beer, Mike Schwartz, has been hoarding in his cellar for years. There are some absolute gems in there.
Sweet I wonder what that special Bells beer is!

He said it was only a couple guys and limited output around the Chicago area. I had never heard of them.

    Stopped at the beer shop to pick up a few things:

    Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Rasputin XVI
    North Coast Grand Cru
    St. Bernardus Abt 12

    And a sixer of Sucks that was hidden by the beer guys in the import section for three days.

    Any of the single hop series (used to be *insert hop name here* ninja), NvU are all great IPA's. Abduction series are great Imperial Stouts, Coffee Break Abduction is epic.

    Dog series are all Milk Stouts, tasty, not quite as huge as the Abduction stouts.

    And if you like Chile beers I hear End of Days is awesome, I havent tried yet.



    Its pretty much all good though.

    Just cracked a 2013 Stone Espresso IRS and it's amazing. Coffee has faded a bit but in a good way. Flavors are perfectly melded. So freaking tasty.

    I like that they are staggering the release of glasses. People should really just be limited to one per person. That way people who want them have a better chance at getting them. I saw people waking away with cases of them last time. Ugh.

    there will be like 20 guys in my group that day....everyone wants a glass. I'm not thinking about extras unless everyone in my group who wants one gets one. Don't want to be the guy who has 2 and one of the guys in my group gets shut out...that'll be awkward. with how limited these are, i'd feel like an ass taking 2 of them....

    On the glassware topic though, I would actually break my "no glassware unless ive had the beer rule" for one of those Prairie tekus that they use at the brewery with the dinosaurs all over it. Because its a teku with dinosaurs on it, what other reason do I need!

    Scored my Garcia and orange Live Trax 4! Hope you did well too.

    Drinking a Sierra Nevada Nooner as I clean the house and listen to records, not bad!

    Picked up a few beers while in Ann Arbor....green bush anger, green bush dunegras, and odd sides simcoe sensation session. Just cracked the anger (black IPA). Decent but nothing to write home about.

    Not specific to a beer just at the brewery for tours and things I think. If I can track one down I'll hit you up for sure. Supposedly Prairie makes it up here but I have never seen it or even heard of it showing up. Might be down state only.
