Rübæus M

1/2 cup Rubaeus, 1/4 apple cider vinegar, and quarter cup of fermented garlic/chili honey makes a tasty rib wash. Thanks Art. The remainder is super refreshing in a day like today

Nemesis M

Post beer-session practice. This is developing nicely (3.9.21 bottling). Still quite bitter, so similar to Sierra Bigfoot.

Oude Geuze Boon M

Enjoying the clear-ish skies for a change with a funky 2014/15. Signature Boon.

Oude Geuze Boon (2014-2015) M

More smooth funkiness.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2013) M

Something snappy for another late Red Wings west coast puck drop. This bottle seems a bit flatter and lacking as much funk as usual.

60 Minute IPA M

Guessing it’s been over a decade since I’ve had one of these. Picked up a 6, since much of the local stuff seemed to be juicy haze craze stuff. Accepting my crotchety old codger opinions on beer.

Classic Gueuze M

Rare guest tap. Quite the treat.

Ultimate Oktoberfest M

Something to kill the time while waiting for the manly dinner to finish up. Super tasty. Nice balance with the bourbon barrel. Just noticed it’s 10%. Perhaps it should have been dessert. Thanks, Art. I’ll be looking out for this in stores.

90 Minute Imperial IPA M

A win to the marketers. Surely no one asked for stovepipes of this quaffable 9% institution, but they gave it to us anyways. I’ll admit that novelty prompted me to buy it for the 1st time in nearly a decade. At $2.99 I’d buy again. Great revisit.

Oude Geuze Boon (2014-2015) M

Was hoping for lemony tang to go with crab cakes, but got soft melon. Think it must but Hansen’s I’m thinking about with more lemon character. No complaints though for what it is. Love me a geuze.

Oude Geuze Boon M

Oude gueze: good rut to be in. Deck sitting night.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2016) M

Been awhile since a true Oude Gueze. Dirty funk makes me happy. Will take one any day over a modern sour.
