A few weeks back, we sold some furniture on Craigslist and to celebrate, I bought myself a few bottles of Lagunitas. It had been a while since I had these two particular beers and I was looking forward to having them again. I started with Hop Stoopid and loved the sweet hopiness of this beer. Wilco Tango Foxtrot was next and it was still rich and malty. Delicious.
I've noticed my tastes have been slightly changing here recently and some beers that once tasted good don't wet my whistle like they once did. These two brews are an exception at least and I thoroughly enjoyed them again.
Since mid 2011, I have fallen in love with the Craft Beer scene and have been trying a lot of new, and different beers. I realized the need to keep a log or journal of what I have tried so that I could refer back to it and then I thought why not create a Blog to do the same. This Blog is my journal of different beers and my honest opinions of them. Join me as I take a Journey through the Craft Beer scene.

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...
