Mother's Imperial Three Blind Mice & Trouble Maker

The Imperial next to the original.

Still working on clearing out my backlog of beers and one such beer was Mother's Imperial Three Blind Mice. Their regular Three Blind Mice is one of my favorites and I was excited to hear they were coming out with an Imperial of it. Needless to say, once I finally had a chance to try one, it was worth the wait.

Father's Day Beer Sampling

Father's day was a few weekends, but we celebrated it the week prior with a small family get-together and BBQ. While the kids were running around in the living room, the "men folk" sneaked into the dining room with 6 different beers for a round of beer shots. Most of them were pleasant, some were different and a couple were just bad.

Playing Catch-up

Wow, I really managed to get behind in my blogging. In my last post, I mentioned a beer that was extremely hoppy, but never got to it. Well, it's time for a very quick catch-up so here we go.

The beer in question is Sierra Nevada's Hoptimum. The hops is extremely high (hence the comment about it blowing my brains out). However, it was also thoroughly enjoyable. It tasted like fresh cut grass and pine needles, which is a good thing. On top of that, it went down nicely with a very pleasing aftertaste considering how much hops was in it. I have another bottle in the fridge now, but I'm saving it for later along with my last Winter Grind. If you like Hops, this is most definitely the beer for you to try.

Other beers that I've been drinking recently came from a Boulevard Sampler and a Schlafly Sampler. Both boxes have been great and I have not yet found one I didn't like from these two. I guess I don't have much to say about each individual beer since it's been a while other than it's good stuff.

On my birthday a few weeks ago, I picked up a "special" bottle for myself. It was Lagunita's Wilco Tango Foxtrot. It was a darker brown ale with a nice chocolate tone. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it was still a good brown ale. A good beer for a quick grab from the market and one I might consider grabbing again.

Well, that's a VERY quick recap of what I've been drinking here recently. Last weekend we had our Father's Day celebration with a custom 6-pack sample party. They went from very good to very bad, but I'll get to those later. I also have another selection in the fridge at home awaiting me so stick around. Hopefully it won't be as long next time...
