Mar Key ♨️ RugGuy

All Day IPA RugGuy

After driving an hour to take you guys to a basketball 🏀 tournament it’s time to refresh for the drive home. Cheers to SaturYay!🍻😃

KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) RugGuy

Decided to grab a single off the shelf and give this one a try. I’ve had most all of the variance over the years. This one is decent. Well thought out. Nice balance. But I think for me one and done. Cheers to Saturday beers. 🍻 

Blushing Padre RugGuy

This is a delicious new beer. I love Frootwood. I’m thinking this is a new one. Cheers to Saturday date nite 🍻🍔👌🏻

4 Giants Starcatcher Haze RugGuy

Tasty hazy. Spent more on this beer than dinner 😂

KBS Blueberry RugGuy

After a rest for a few months the barrel bite is tempered and the blueberry 🫐 flavor has become more pronounced. Maybe a hard pour helped. Cheers to thursty Thursday ✌🏽🍻

Ginger, Spice, Barreled And Nice RugGuy

I had higher hopes for this. Saw BA barleywine and bought it. Reminds me of some of the over spiced ‘yam beers’ little medicinal. I’ll keep sipping and hope for a Christmas miracle 🍻🤑

Velvet Rush RugGuy

Been since 21’ for this one. Still taste the chocolate 🍫 and coffee ☕️ solid beer. Good for a crappy rainy afternoon. 🍻

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter RugGuy

Very tasty brown ale with a hint of cherry and orange. Still warming up for the party tonight 💀🍻👍🏾

Frootwood RugGuy

The fall colors are catching up. Cheers to the weekend 🍻🏈🍁

Citrus Squall RugGuy

Def citrus. Def crappy day. Def Friday! Cheers 🍻😆🤘

Frootwood RugGuy

Still sipping on these year old beers. Founders, you can have another release of them anytime now!

KBS Blueberry RugGuy

Could immediately smell the blueberries 🫐 opening the bottle. Had high hopes. Hard time finding it for some reason. Very sweet. Just a hint of barrel. These heavy handed flavor adjuncts are not the best. Cheers to boozy Tuesday 🍻🤑

Frootwood RugGuy

I bought this at Gold Eagle Liquor knowing that it’s over a year old but they are still selling it and it’s a favorite. A little dank and maybe funky but all in all that’s the flavor. Looking forward to some freshies. 🍻🥹

Chocolate Cherry KBS RugGuy

Football 🏈 practice is over now time to relax and watch Quarterback on Netflix. 🍻🏈👌🏻

Citrus Squall RugGuy

There is an amazing amount of citrus 🍊 on the nose. Drinks best ice cold. . . Especially when the humidity is around 90% 🥵🍻

Citrus Squall RugGuy

Smells like grapefruit juice with a bit of funk. Not much carb. Tasty for an 8%’er 🍻🥹

Frootwood RugGuy

It’s been almost a year and this has held up well. Still a favorite BA Series. The malty sweet funk is the key along with just a hint of barrel. Can’t wait for the next batch!!🍻😎

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa RugGuy

When it’s a crappy rainy cold ‘spring day’ it calls for a warm up!! Cheers to the weekend 🍻👍🏾🥶🌧️

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter RugGuy

Very tasty BA ale. Just the right amount of orange 🍊 and cherry 🍒 and a slight barrel taste. Yummy! 👌🏾🍻😋

Chocolate Cherry KBS RugGuy

Perfect afternoon for a solid pour. Almost 50 degrees and lovin the sun☀️🍻😎🏈

Chocolate Cherry KBS RugGuy

I’ve been looking for this one… Definitely comes through with all the chocolate and cherry notes. Got a nice boozy kick to it as well… Cheers to new brew Thursday.🍒🍫🍻

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge RugGuy

After dicking around for the last 2 hours on a dead end electrical job I put everything back and I need a beer. Dug out the MMF ‘OG’ from a couple years back. Hard pour opens it right up. Jump day my 🙈🐪

French Toast Bastard RugGuy

Good beer to hang the last of the outside decos. Just warm enough to hang outside. Any day in December that breaks 40 I’m down with. Cheers to Pearl Harbor day. Never forgetting 💣💣🏝️

French Toast Bastard RugGuy

Single digit weather and I’ve been waiting for this release. On the nose lost of spice and bread. I like the easy mouthfeel. Sweet but approachable. Pairing with a cookie from Crumbl I feel like diabetes is setting in. 😝🍻👌🏿

Barrel Aged High Ball Drifter RugGuy

I really miss being able to sit out on the patio and enjoy these late afternoon pours. Cheers to hump day… I just realized I’ve probably been checking this one and wrong since it is the barrel aged version! Delicious. 🍻👌🏿😎

Blueberry Shrub RugGuy

Enjoying the beautiful cool afternoon. Playing a little catch with my boy. I really like the shrub taste in this cocktail in a can. I wish they sold this separately. Cheers to hump day winding down.

Punkin Ale RugGuy

Good easy drinking afternoon pour. I want to find a good “pick-6” somewhere to try a few others. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🍻👍🏿

Ultimate Oktoberfest RugGuy

Solid. In many way I’d rather drink one of these over a few regular October fest style beers. It’s malty and sweet but a nice boozy kick to the finish. I wish they had a proper emoji for this. 🍻👍🏽

Punkin Ale RugGuy

Hanging by the ghords hoping to grab some flavor by association. This one is good but I need to broaden my options 🎃🍻👍🏽

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa RugGuy

Waiting in the Q for Luke Combs Tix so I thought I’d sip something solid. Cheers to hump day. 👨‍🌾👍🏿

Punkin Ale RugGuy

I don’t know if I’m diggin this beer this year. I should have bought a ‘picksix’ and tried it first. Cheers to a cold rainy Sunday. At least I’m not at Soldier Field 🏈🍻👍🏿

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter RugGuy

Tasty night cap. I really enjoy these series. Malty and lots of flavors. Taste the orange rind and some nice barrel finish. 🍻👍🏿🧌

Ultimate Oktoberfest RugGuy

Pairs perfectly with homemade tomatoes soup. It’s harvest time 🍻👍🏽

Lemon & Lime Gin Crush RugGuy

I like these drinks from DFH. They distill their spirits. Lemon and lime juice. If they didn’t have a tasting I would not have bought these. The young lady was very informed and a good brand ambassador. The variety pack is 🤑🍻😎👍🏻

Ultimate Oktoberfest RugGuy

Sweet and multi… You can almost taste the stone fruit from the bourbon barrel. I really like it, want to see how it is when it warms up a little. At 10% I’m not sure I’m going to be able to do another, lol🥃🍻👍🏿

Frootwood RugGuy

Still one of my all-time favorites… A little sweet and may be a little too heavy on that maple syrup… But that oakey hint balances everything out just right. Cheers to a beautiful Sunday afternoon!

All Day IPA RugGuy

When all you want is a quick tasty pour before a two hour football practice in 90° weather… This one just happens to hit the spot! Cheers to a beautiful afternoon

All Day IPA RugGuy

Nice blend. 5.8% and filled my 24 just right. Might just have another. Tasty. 😋🍻😎

All Day IPA RugGuy

First one of the season. Same as it ever was. All day long. 🤦🏻🍻

Frootwood RugGuy

Still an all time fave. I wouldn’t change a thing. Glad for the release this spring. Cheers to Saturday 🍻😎🦖

KBS Hazelnut RugGuy

I read a lot of mixed reviews so I just bought a single… I think the KBS base is fine I think the hazelnut flavor is bitter and kind of artificial. All in all decent but glad I only bought one. Cheers 🍻👍🏿🤑

Big Lushious RugGuy

Even though this is one of my all-time favorites… I probably should’ve drank it earlier from September 20 20. Still tasty but yeah… Fresh is best. Cheers to a beautiful Sunday afternoon🌞🍻👍🏿

Frootwood RugGuy

This might be my all-time favorite beer from Founders. I always look forward to this pour when I have some. Perfect afternoon for for a beautiful Sunday. Cheers to what’s left of the weekend

Velvet Rush (2021) RugGuy

The snow is getting deeper and the beer is filling the mood. This is malty and chocolate coffee. Delish. 🍻👍🏿

Frootwood RugGuy

I can’t believe this is only my 2nd checkin for this. 🙋🏻I’ve finished off many a 4 pack. One of my favorite BA from Founders. Glad it’s back!! Cheers 🍒🍫🍻👈🏼👍🏿

Panther Cub (2021) RugGuy

I had to put something to get the taste from Doom out of my mouth. I really like the balanced taste and lack of over whelming sweetness found in some vyummmmmmmy 🐾🍻👍🏿

Doom RugGuy

A lot funky and a little bit Skunky… Pretty much like I remember it fresh only no boozy bite left. A few floaters on the bottom no big deal… Last one from 2017, Cheers🍻👍🏿😵‍💫🦨

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge RugGuy

May even be a little better after a rest. Lots of coffee but a nice hint of maple on the finish. Best as warming up. With today’s weather it’s taking a while. Cheers to Friday. 🍻👍🏿😋

Velvet Rush RugGuy

Nice post game loss bear. Or beer. Solid pour. Coffee n chocolate. 🐻🏈😎🍻

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa RugGuy

Beautiful afternoon. Had to ramp the ABv up a bit. Lets go Bears! 🏈🐻

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa RugGuy

Dry spicy cinnamon on the front. Other than that pretty much KBS. Waiting for a little warm up. 🍻👊🏾🤑

Punkin Ale RugGuy

One of my favorite and only punkin beers. How could this be my first checkin?? 🎃🍻👍🏻

Nemesis RugGuy

Thought I would give this another spin. Def boozy and tart. Needs some time to temp down. See ya next year.

Dirty Bastard RugGuy

Pre COVID 5/19’ vintage. Funky earthy bastard that I remember. This would pair well with a cigar. Cheers to hump🐫 day beers 🍻🤛🏽 (not sure why this new UT won’t let me grab any photos🤪)

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) RugGuy

Decided to dig around and pull out and 18 from the stash. Still very tasty nice and carmely and not much of a boozy finish at all. A couple years goes well on this beer. Cheers 😎👍🏿

Porter RugGuy

Limited beer choices. I’m guessing this was rotated up from sometime in the last couple years.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge RugGuy

Nice tasty beer for a Sunday afternoon 🍻😎👊🏾😋

Bottle Shop Series: Nemesis RugGuy

At 75IBUs it’s a hop bomb. This needs a year or 2 in the bunker to temper. Nice color but can hardly taste the barley wine. Warming it mellows a bit. Kind of fun but off balanced. 🍻👈🏼😜👊🏾

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2016) 12.4% RugGuy

Thought I’d crack this 16’ for brunch. Gotta warm up for game time. Go bears 🐻🏈🍻👍🏿

Big Lushious RugGuy

Perfect beer to do a little yard cleanup 🍁🍂😥🍻

KBS RugGuy

It’s not just for breakfast anymore. Lunch beer. Nice on a cold shittykindaday. Vintage 19’

Siracusa Nera RugGuy

Pairs ok with chili. Tastes like stout with some wine poured in.

Siracusa Nera RugGuy

So I see this on the bottom shelf covered with actual dust and barked down to $9. Thinking ‘how bad could it be’? Not sure when it was released but at 10% would have been a little better a year or so ago 🥴🍺👊🏽

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) RugGuy

Slightly beergeeking out with my new teku. Cheers 🍻👍🏿😎

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2016) 12.4% RugGuy

Moving on to breakfast. This 16 has held up with a nice pour and still heady. . . Trying to decide what to drink for lunch 🤔🍻👍🏿😎
