Driveway share #15 - This is the beer, at my first Dark Lord Day, that taught me that sour fruited beer could be a thing. 8 plus years in, it's still freaking amazing. Slightly possible. I'm biased. Thx Tom W

Gueuze (2021) Reed

D:10/5/21- DLD Friday #11 - More please. Delicate funk, very little tart, woody notes. A touch of pepper very late, but only randomly. My bring.

Rosé de Gambrinus (2021) Reed

D:4/26/21 - Celleruary #7 of 28 - herd-thinning continues. Been almost 10 mos (4/20/23) since the always-generous Tom W popped it at one of my very first WingNight dumpster shares. Filet-worthy. Funky raz drips off the nose. Fruit is a bit less...

Classic Gueuze (2017) Reed

D:Sept 6, '17 - last had 12/31/21; too long ago. @ 6+ years, still spectacular. Playoff football, flatbread & fire only make it better. Still some light citrus, a cedar note is pretty forward.

Cuvée Saint-Gilloise (Champions) (2023) Reed

J&J's 1st New House share #1 - D:11/28/22. John D. goes big early. In shockingly, this is delish. Big funky nose, which carries thru, w/ a touch of citrus. Hits all my sweet spots. Thx man.

KBS Blueberry Reed

SoBros Camping Wknd @ Summit Lake, Day 2, #31 - thx Jason A. D:7/10/23. Not much of a nose. More berry flavor, but still pretty modest.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2016) Reed

SoBros Camping Wknd @ Summit Lake #13 - my bring, via trade w/ M.Reed. last had this DLD 2019. Maybe the best of the '15-'19 vert? Nose whores, you want this. A woody bitter in the funky finish.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Reed

SoBros Camping Wknd @ Summit Lake #12 - big choco nose teases, but the back end is flat and thin. Thx Jason A.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2019) Reed

Catching up 7/19/23 - D: Nov 7, 2019. Sharing some Belgian love w/ the Crown crew. My bring.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2015) Reed

Bottled 10/22/15 - last had this Oct '18. All the lemony/citrus tart is gone, but musty, earthy funk has stepped up fabulously. Apple note on the nose is a new thing for me from a Cantillon. My bring, courtesy of Mitch Reed.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2017) Reed

D:Nov 29, 2017. UNIQUE #5000 in 6 years, 10 months. Thx for this Mitch Reed. Pretty fantastic. Cool peppery note late. Funk > tart barely > barrel.

DLD Weekend, Friday #25 -

Rosé de Gambrinus (2021) Reed

Wing Night pre-gaming by the Alley Cat dumpster. Gobs of fruit, made even better by a slight twinge of funk at the very back end. Delightful. Thx @ Tom W.

Swinging Harry Tropical Quad Reed

Catching up 4/12/23 - given that this was more than 11 yrs old, it was damn civilized. The adjunct fruit has faded, but the underlying quad, dark fruity notes are still there. Tough draw following the Westy 12. Wing Night dumpster beer #1. Thx Tom W.

Fou' Foune (2020) Reed

SoBros Xmas Party # Wait 7 - Fou, at DLD '15, was THE beer that got me hooked on Belgian fruited stuff. This is bringing back a bunch of memories. Intense nose, really pungent, with a pile of funk underlying the fruit. Great. Thx John D.

All Day IPA Reed

SoBros Turkey Run Camping Trip #18 - been a while (5yrs, 10mos) since last time, when the Cubs clinched the pennant. Has a nice little hoppy bite at the end. Pretty good tubing beer on Sugar Creek this afternoon. Thx John D. & Jonathan B.

Iris (2016) Reed

D: Mar 9, 2016. SoBros Xmas Party #3 - Oh hell yes. Thx @ Eddie

Classic Gueuze (2017) Reed

Scratch tasting #11 - postgaming - my bring. My annual holiday gift to me. Now 4yrs 3mos and only getting better. STILL showing some delish late pepper. Fab night w/ Jeff R-R, Cory, John D. and Dan W. Far left - Swish.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2011) Reed

Dan Wanee's share #16: Matt Narker puts down the three mystery bottles and asks us to guess. No one is even close. There is absolutely not a hint of maple or coffee in any of these. Licorice note shows in the 2011. The '17 &'18 are just kind of generic...

John D's surprise 53rd bday share #13 - Creeks are not at the top of my list, but the funk on this really elevates. Thx @ Cory D

Rosé de Gambrinus (2018) Reed

TG Roadie #28 - At Funk Factory w/ John D., Keaton S. and Dan the Funk Factory Man behind the bar. After he shared a couple things w/ us (including some of his private stock), we reciprocate w/ this & Dan pulls out the classy lambic pourer. At just...

Classic Gueuze (2017) Reed

D:9/16/17 - Merry Xmas to me. Now @ 3yrs 3mos, This shows an aggressive lemon note early. 10 min out of the fridge was too early - let this warm for all of the funky hay and late pepper to really blossom.
