Elijah Craig, out of my new flask (Thanks, Santa!), in a cab coming home after a loooong meeting. Could be worse.

Bought some kind of variety pack of Sam Adams over the weekend. Everything I've had was about the quality I expected: good, but nothing great.
Had some kind of long island at the bar last night but with peach schnapps in it. very yummy.
Looking forward to the Arena (bar in Ann Arbor) this evening. They usually have something good on tap...hopefully Founder's Porter.
mmm....Alaskan Amber.

Recent beverages...
*Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale: Nice and balanced pale ale. Could easily drink it all night.
*Hofbrau Original: A solid import lager that will wash down any good food. Particularly German food.

And I really miss the Alaskan beers, they were pretty **** good.
Not a big fan of most Sam Adams but I absolutely love their Brown Ale and their Winter Lager is pretty good, too.

So I bought some KBC Widowmaker for this weekend, but I paid $8.99 for a sixer.
Probably won't do that again anytime soon, but it'll be nice to have Fooper beer for the upcoming weekend of <STRIKE>hockey</STRIKE> fail.

That's the only thing I don't like about KBC, it's on the pricier end. But then again, I get it so rarely that I don't mind as much as I should.

I assume you mean in MN, because my last six months in Fooperdom I used to be able to get the cans for $6.79 (and the $6 growler fills were an even better deal, given the increased variety). I remember my junior year I could sometimes get it at $5.99/six, but then the hop shortage took effect.

It's funny you should say this. I was pumped about the $2.75 KBC drafts I had last night after the <s>failed abortion</s> game. Then again, I was literally yards from the source, so it makes sense.

They're up to $2.75? That's a little disappointing to hear, but costs must've gone up again because a quarter is still pretty low. Most micro taprooms easily charge $4+ a pint.
And yeah, I know the transport and distribution costs are probably high to keep the beer fresh as it makes its way downstate 500 miles. They'll only be rising too, as gas prices creep up again.

You can't get it in MN. I've emailed them about that. Their plan was to hit the border cities (Duluth, Mpls/St Paul, and maybe Rochester) in 5 years or so.
I think it's about $7.50 for a sixer now, might be more. I like the Growlers, but since I live in MN, and usually would come home on Sunday (or get it brought to me by friends early in the week), waiting for the weekend to have one is a stretch.

I was at the Ambassador, not the KBC.

Orion Keg & Wine, a well-stocked party store on Baldwin Rd. between the Waldon Rd. and Clarkston Rd intersections. Basically, you get off 75 at Great Lakes Crossing and drive north a couple miles until you see the sign out front. It's not your typical dumpy party store - it's a newer brick building and the owners are Chaldean. Pretty good beer & wine selection, and the liquor shelves behind the counter are fairly wide as well. I've seen several Michigan microbrews there (Bells, New Holland, Founders, Dark Horse, Shorts and now KBC), plus a decent mix of other domestics and foreign imports.

Thanks!!
Or, I'll just take the dirt road (Lake Angelus) down to Baldwin and truck north until I find it.

Camo Black Ice: it gets you wasted. For cheap. Just, don't smell it. Or taste it. Or try to drink it warm.
If you must taste it, put a lime in it. That makes it almost like very thick Corona as brewed by your friendly Dow Chemical plant, with fewer overtones of arse but with a hint of landfill and liver cancer.
