Look for the shipyard "Smashed pumpkin" not the standard pumpkinhead.

Excellent, thank you for the info. I knew a fellow Granite Stater would come through for me.

Mackroken Flower Grande réserve. Scotch ale with honey, oak-aged for 4 months. Made by a great microbrew in Quebec, Bilboquet.

Last night it was the Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale

 

[pie_man_25]

last night I had railway city's dead elephant ale. Pretty good stuff, it's an IPA, so it's hoppy - but not QUITE as hoppy as many other IPAs I've had, I'd even say it's less bitter than great lake's devil's pale ale and mill st.'s tankhouse ale - it's more of an aromatic hoppiness than a bitter hoppiness.

I'm having a very straight forward Amstel Blond right now.

I had a few Theakston Old Peculiers for the first time the other night. Not bad.

I stopped by at D&W and got all I need for this weekend: 4 pounds of juicy rib eye...Founders: Porter, Breakfast Stout and Harvest Ale !!

 

[ArtGuy9516]

I've got some Fat Tire at home right now. I also like Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen. Like the prosts written on the bottle caps. Most of the brews I've had from Ommegang have been outstanding.

Double Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Stout?

I bet its delicious! But, I find it funny in that one usually sees a "Double/Chocolate Stout" a "Coffee Stout" or an "Oatmeal Stout". Thats the first time Ive seen them all together!

... This is my favorite winter beer, it is a great coffee-chocolate-outmeal stout I will be glad to send you a 4 pack, just tell me how should I pack it since I have never ship beer before.

Yum. I used to drink that a lot during college. Three at lunch and I'd be sleeping for half the afternoon.

Tonight:

Little bit bland, but I can't tell if that's the beer or the Jalapeno chips I'd been eating just beforehand.

It seems shipping beer is no easy feat to accomplish. macaroni_tony was sending me some brew and he had to order it from BevMo! online in order for it to ship properly, I believe.
Im not certain what the requirements are, myself, but Ive heard of some people having trouble.
I dont know if Founders is available around these parts, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for it!

I had a Stone collab Mint Chocolate Stout thinking it might be the bees knees, but it wasnt quite as good as I was expecting. Last year I had a Stone collab Cherry Chocolate Stout and it was one of the best beers Ive ever had! They just opened a Stone Brewery Store in Pasadena, so now I can drive 20 minutes to fill my growler instead of having to drive all the way to Escondido!

Last weekend I had one of these. There's something funny about this pic: The glass is full while the cap is still on the bottle.

Some Brooklyn East India Pale Ale

Shipping beer isn't a big deal. It's also not strictly legal with USPS, so go with UPS or FedEx, and know that it's against their policy.

Wrap each bottle individually in bubble wrap. Then double or triple line a box with bubble wrap. Then put the wrapped bottles in the box. Then fill it with newspaper or bubble wrap. Then ship it via UPS or Fed Ex, and if they ask, it's 'yeast samples.'

I've shipped and received tons of beer. My sister uses USPS flat rate boxes and can get about eight 12 oz bottles in there. I wouldn't ship with USPS but it works too.

What did I drink lately?

It was a long night and a longer morning.

Nothing fancy tonight. Oatmeal espresso chocolate stout. The espresso chocolate part is written on the back rather than under the logo.
