Mayan Apocalypse party last night with some long-time friends in town for the holidays. What better time try and share a bunch of different flavors of the "friendly water"? :-D :-D Here are some we went through (long night). :-D
Avery/Russian River's Collaboration not Litigation Belgian Strong Dark Ale (CA/CO)
Boulevard Amber Ale (MO)
Boulevard Pale Ale (MO)
Boulevard Nutcracker Ale (MO)
Boulevard Smokestack Series Chocolate Ale (2012) (MO)
Boulevard Smokestack Series Love Child #2 (MO)
Boulevard Smokestack Series Rye on Rye (2013) (MO)
Free State Winter Fest IPA (KS)
Laughing Dog Brewery's Alpha Dog Imperial IPA (ID)
The Lost Abbey Judgement Day Ale Quad (CA)
Mother's Holy Mole Pepper Brown Ale (MO)
Mother's Winter Grind Coffee Stout (MO)
Ommegang Seduction Belgian Dark Ale (NY)
Sam Adams Old Fezziwig Ale Spiced Ale (MA)
Samuel Smith's India Ale (UK)
Smithwick's (IRL)

Only a few of us could handle the tart Love Child, Holy Mole's cinnamon was pretty noticeable but worked for a chile beer, and Seduction was a nice one to lead with.

Just found a new brewery on 2nd and Broadway named TRVE Brewing. I tried the Diotima which is a smoked tea saison. I was impressed, the smokiness wasn't overpowering and had a real good flavor too it. I sipped a few of the other brews and they were all good.

Check em' out. Beware.. its kinda a dark place, lots of pentagrams and devilish things.

Oscar Blues, not Avery, but yes, it's always nice to see the little guys making the big boys nervous. But I'm still POed that Dry Dock had to change the name of their Seven C's DIPA because of some little brewery in WA though. But the least they could have done was come up with a new name.

I'm serious about this project though. I should blog it - 365 days of peaks, hot sauces and Dogfish Head.

I just purchased a domain for it too - poyaproject [dot] com. POYA being an acronym... :wink:
Sounds good as long as you are downwind of everybody.

So, just where did Pabst get that Blue Ribbon?
Find out here: http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/design/ ... ue-ribbon/

In other beer news, this year's Deschutes Hop Henge is out. Yum, and at $4.59 for a bomber of 10.6% ABV hoppy goodness, it's a winner best shared on any given weeknight.

(Had it first fresh on-tap in Bend in 2010 - that was fall-off-the-stool wonderful.) Thanks for the reminder, Matt.

PBR also won gold at this year's GABF in the American Style Lager category, but considering Keystone Light got the bronze the competition wasn't exactly stellar.

And, as you say, it's a good time of year to be an aficionado of just about any beer style. The hop heads get fresh hop beers, plus Maharaja came back a couple weeks ago and Lagunitas Sucks, which I've heard some great things about, is just hitting stores now. Crooked Stave is rocking the wilds/sours, the big stouts and barleywines are all out to play, and every store and respectable taproom is filled with barrel aged goodness. Happy new year indeed!
