Today’s beer purchases were:
· Baltika 9 Extra Lager
· Arbor Brewing Company’s Espresso Love
· Wells’ Banana Bread Beer
· Southern Tier’s Pumking (x6)
· JW Lees Manchester Star Ale
· New Holland’s Dragon’s Milk (x2)
· Lindemans’ Framboise Lambic
· Bells’ Special Double Cream Ale
· O’Fallon’s Goat’s Breath Bock Ale
Is the Arbor Espresso Love new?
I’m not sure, actually. It’s new to me this year, but that’s probably the third or fourth six pack I’ve picked up. It’s normal priced, but particularly tasty. Just a nice, dark, thick, coffee / lactose / oatmeal rich stout.
Classy, classy, classy.
Are you gonna cellar some of the Pumking? I am hunting for it in my area. Great, great stuff. My wife, not a beer person at all, really wants more.
Let us know how these are. The Arbor Brewery stuff sounds food, and — wow — Dragon’s Milk.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it… It’s actually for my girlfriend, but there’s really no reason why I couldn’t stuff the bottles in the basement. She probably won’t drink them with any particular speed, so it might be worth stashing them away for a while.
The rest (except for the Russian lager) are actually quite good. I’ve had all of them before, I just wanted good stuff to take to a party.
The Dragon’s Milk is a personal favorite, but those bottles were actually picked up for a friend. I’ll get more of my own in a while, though.
