Went to my watering hole tonight. Here's what I had:

Atwater Brewery Decadent Dark Chocolate Beer
Atwater Brewery 8 Mile Amber
Breckenridge Brewery Agave Wheat beer

As I mentioned, I have my eye on a few bottles of rum that I will be purchasing online. I will need to make room on the shelves to accommodate them, so have been looking over the existing collection and trying to decide what can go.

On that quest, I decided to kill the bottle of Cruzan Single Barrel and have gotten through about half of it in the past couple of days - family is in town and we like to have a few cocktails.

Anyway, turns out that I'm REALLY liking the Cruzan Single Barrel as a mixer and am thinking that I'll need to keep some on hand.


Back to the drawing board.


Maybe I just need bigger shelves.

No maybe about it. Problem solved.

Been drinking my way through Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp 12 pack. All solid beers so far, nothing spectacular, but it's nice to see a lot of classic styles pushed out of their comfort zones here.

Bourbon County Stout. On tap. In August.

I tried KBC's Scottish Ale. Smokey taste and sweet finish. I'll have it again.

Also had a wheat beer from Boulevard Brewing but it was slightly disapointing.

WI does have some bars that are surprises. I found one that had Dragon's Milk on tap.

Brent, The Happy Gnome in St. Paul has Dragon's Milk on tap. With the added bonus of not having to travel to Wisconsin.

That's way the fark over in St Paul! And I'd have to drive! (I was NOT driving when I had the DM in WI).

Drinking Atwater Brewery's Cherry Wheat. Generally, I'm not much for fruity beer, but this is pretty good.

I think I want to try Founders' Rubaeus next.

The Founder's Rubaeus is great. For a real treat, mix it 50/50 with the Founder's Breakfast Stout.

F* the season. Having a Boulder Shake Chocolate Porter.

Grain Belt Premium.

Boring, but I'll always love this beer. Deal with it.

Tried to designate another rum for elimination - this time Angostura 5 year which is a mid level mixer.

Dang, but it was tasty.

That's the problem with buying mostly quality stuff - it's actually really good.

If I can summon the will, I'll leave it here at the lake - my folks place where it will still be next time I'm here.

It really Sounds like you have arrived at the point where more space is the best answer. My fridge is starting to fill up with great beers. The girlfriend says I should drink some before getting more, I honestly feel like another fridge is the best option.

The best option would be to compromise and do both...
