Dave V

All Day IPA V

Haven't been here in 8 years

Mahou 5 Star V

This is very good. Clean, smooth, quite light.

All Day IPA V

Sorry, but this is still a tasty low abv IPA. Very good.

Sweet Repute V

Boozy, bitter

Pale Ale V

6% abv this time

Azacca IPA V

Been awhile. Tasty

Red's Rye IPA V

I don't think there are many mug club members left.

MI Pilsner (MI P1LSNER) V

Backwoods Bastard V

Thanks John!

Red's Rye IPA V

I must say, this batch is excellent. Still making great beer.

Stay In Stout V

Good day to stay in.

Breakfast Stout V

My last baby bottle.

Savage Sand West Coast IPA V

All Day Grapefruit V

Big grapefruit nose. Taste follows through. Nice.

Savage Sand West Coast IPA V

Can anyone say Pizza Port? Excellent.

Tangibly IPA V

This is quite good. Nice hop bite, not too malty. Very good

Stay In Stout V

Big chocolate nose. Creamy. Hazelnut coffee. Little barrel. Dry stout like. Interesting and tasty. Easy drinking.

6 Year Barrel Aged Lizard of Koz V

Last bottle. Probably a good thing as I'm getting a very slight oxidation. 6 years in a barrel, little over a year in my basement. Blueberries almost gone, little barrel.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) V

Breakfast Stout V

Kinda thin.

Mortal Bloom V

Nice hop bite. Not too bitter or too much burn. Very nice.

Brother Wolf IPA V

Tasty Mosaic forward light IPA. Very good

Harvest Ale 2023 V

Kokua Indian Pale Lager V

This is very good. Slightly floral, some sweetness, clean, fairly dry. Nice.

Sleeper Cell V

1st beer in 3 weeks. Tasty

Bock V

It's back! Very good.

Harvest Ale 2023 V

So good. Just a whisper of malt but mostly fresh, clean, fermented hop juice. Perfect

Harvest Ale 2023 V

Bottle. Excellent. Fresh, clean, perfect carbo, long hop finish.

Sleeper Cell V

I'm not as much of a Founders fan boy as I was but, this stuff on tap now and the 2023 Harvest Ale are both top notch. Thankfully someone there still knows how to brew great IPA.

Harvest Ale 2023 V

Sleeper Cell V

I think the first time I had this was 2013. Whoever brewed this batch is a wizard. Excellent.

Double Red X V

Not a Double Reds Rye. More malt. But tasty.

Sleeper Cell V

10.2 abv this time. Just when I'd about given up on Founders. Glad someone remembers.

Sleeper Cell V

One more. Reminds me of El Segundo Hop Tanker. Excellent.

Sleeper Cell V

Dank. 10.2% this time. Still great.

Ales For ALS (2023) V

Seems milder than previous years IMO. Less hop punch.

SMASH Bros Czech Pils V

Nice.

Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2019) V

Pre-Covid! Still one of my favorites.

Nunu Hazy Ipa V

Nice hop bite. Initially thought there was some weird juice/extract thing in the finish. Kinda sweet towards the end.

John Chovy V

Slight nuttyness. Light IPA. Refreshing

French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022) V

Too much cinnamon

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2022) V

Probably not the Cool Kids fav anymore, but I like the bitterness. Bitter cocoa, bitter coffee, pepper, barrel. I'm not a kid.

All Day IPA V

Call Your Mom V

Like a cinnamon roll.

All Day West Coast V

Probably my next favorite coozie. Don't think these guys have ever made a bad beer. Mean Societe. But can't buy it here.

Sweet Repute (2013) V

I'm using this iteration because I had 2 of these in December of 2013 but used the non-dated version. Is that legit?. Only checking in new beers. Who really cares. At this point, I don't.

Nitro Breakfast Stout V

10K IPA V

Still liked this stuff.

Más Agave Prickly Pear V

Bottled 4/14/21. I didn't drink this stuff when it was new. Should have.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa V

Sorry.

Bottle Shop Series: Highball Drifter (2021) V

10K IPA V

Raising a glass the old days. Miss them a lot. All we wanted to do was drink beer. Pliny? Close. Maybe not dank enough. But close. Thanks Jeremy.

All Day West Coast V

Super clean and clear. Pretty good. Obviously missing the impact of a higher abv, but still hits the notes needed.

Hazacca IPA V

Much softer than the Virgil. Less hop presence. Less offensive I guess. Actually like the Virgil better.

Virgil Haze V

I'm not sure, but almost tastes like there is extract in this. Probably not, but same vibe initially. Sweet stone fruit, some citrus, juice. Finish is not a strong point. Overall okay.

Blushing Claus V

This is excellent. Wish we had a case. Bottled 10/28/21. Raspberry, citrus, slight barrel. wow.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022) V

Bottled 8/9/22. Still plenty of maple and the familiar KBS bitterness. Chocolate evident through the finish mostly with a baking cocoa like bitterness. Previous sweetness is subdued, overtaken by the Imperial Stout profile. KBS roots showing through.

All Day Haze V

This is really quite good for under 5%. Must be some Citra in here. The Hazy name might distract. Tasty, lower abv, hop forward IPA.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) V

Surprisingly tasty still. More complex than many fresh beers of the same genre. Excellent.

Beer For Tigers V

This is really good. Similar to Reds but slightly dryer and more bitter. First time I've had 2 of the same beers here awhile.

Beer For Tigers V

Tastes like Reds Rye to me. Very good.

Más Agave V

This is still excellent. Bottled 4/14/21. Almost a cocktail. Alcohol, bitters, lime, sugar. Really good.

Red's Rye IPA V

Weird light color. Less malt. More IPA like than normal. Disappointing. Hopefully not a new normal.

Mos Day V

Light version of MoPro. Good.

Mothership Series Barrel Aged Nemesis V

At John's Garage.

KBS Espresso V

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) V

Most of the barrel gone.

Lenny IPA V

A little vegetal. More old school like. Tasty.

Red's Rye IPA V

Waiting for the Boogaloo Sisters

TRX Double Barrel Dubbel V

No banana/Belgian I can tell. Barrel, light Old Ale, jack & coke, bitter but sweet.

Barrel-Aged Nemesis V

Chocolate Cherry KBS V

Brandy Barrel-Aged Big Luscious V

Mild. Nice combo of raspberry, barrel, roast.

Optimistically Early Spring Wheat V

Not a straight Wheat Beer. Seems fruity. Tasty.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022) V

Bottled August of 22. Creamy. Definite KBS bitterness with more chocolate. Slight maple. Little barrel.

Barrel Aged Peanut Butter Stout (Mothership Series) V

Very nicely balanced.

Unraveled IPA V

In general, the draft version of this stuff is better than the can. But @~$1.00/can it's hard to complain.

Sweet Repute V

Thanks John.

Red's Rye IPA V

A shell of its former self.

Double Trouble V

KBS V

On sale at Meijer for half the price we used to pay. Still tasty.n

Sweet Repute V

Somehow, this fairly sweet beer still makes my wife sneeze. Must be some hops in this. Excellent.

Double Trouble V

One more. Marcia is driving home.

Double Trouble V

Breakfast Stout V

Sweet Repute (2022) V

Last time I had this was 2013 according to Untappd. Sticky sweet, boozy, fine. Thanks John.

Double Trouble V

Thanks John.

100 Year Haze V

Well, it's a good try, but basically a compromise that doesn't satisfy the old school "C" hopheads nor current Hazy pillowheads. I'm in both groups and find this a nice try but ultimately unsatisfying.

Red's Rye IPA V

Unraveled IPA V

Tasty, hop juice forward IPA. Cracker malt, semi dry. A bargain at ~ $1.00 per can.

KBS V

Still like it.

Red's Rye IPA V

4 Giants Tropical Treasure V

Quite sweet, but it was gone in no time. Hi Jake.

All Day West Coast V

Touch of sweetness to start, followed by clean dryness. Some hop bite to finish. Very good.

6 Year Barrel Aged Lizard of Koz V

Nice blueberry bite. Actually fairly light, slight alcohol evident. Dark fruit in the finish. Better than the original IMO.

KBS V

Very similar taste profile to the Breakfast Stout I just had but, boozier, less chocolate, more bitter. Especially in the long finish. Remarkably consistent.

Breakfast Stout V

Breakfast Stout V

Porter V

Under appreciated IMO. Rich flavor, creamy, solid bitterness. 15 years ago it might have been thicker, more Stout like, but remarkably consistent over the years.

6 Year Barrel Aged Lizard of Koz V

Better than the original stuff IMO. Not as much medicinal notes. Vanilla, chocolate, berry, barrel. Split a bottle with John. That was enough at one sitting.
