Homebrewed California blonde and O-fest... working outside at this time of year is great... the beer stays nice & cool.

St. Bernardus 8 with dinner... best before 2010, and they were probably right. It lost some carbonation, awesome depth of fruity flavour though, and the alcohol was REALLY tame.

After dinner, Rochefort 8, also best before 2010. Still REALLY carbonated, some phenolic spicyness, not nearly the fruit of the Benny. I should've mixed the two 8's.

Last night as a nightcap I drank one of my last bottles of a small batch I did of Belgian Golden Strong. It came out at 10% ABV, and is just over a year old.

Fantastic, quite possible one of the best homebrews I've ever made/drank. Dry/Tart, deceptively smooth. Nice Pear/Fruit esters, holy crap I need to make this again! Who knew it wouldn't come into it's own for a year.

Side by side of St. Bernardus Abt. 12 and Westvletern 12. My first time having Westy 12 about a year ago I much prefered the Abt. 12. I think I'm leaning a lot more towards the Westy now bottles just over a year 03.11.14 on the cap. Not sure if I prefer it over the Achel though, that will be tomorrows taste test.

Had some Tree Double Hop Head and Cigar City Humidor IPA while playing board games tonight. The aroma and flavour notes from the cedar are fantastic in the Humidor.
I don't always drink beer ... because sometimes my friends win and we have to go to macro-only establishments.

Lupulus. Very tasty, but not what I expected.
