Drank a good amount of beer this weekend. Killshot from an epiQ share on Saturday, too many high lights but my favorites were Vinalla Rye, Cellador Ales, Monkish, De Garde, and a few 3F bottles.



Additionally, had a BBQ on Sunday with two sixtel kegs from Ocelot. Break My Balls IPA was soft, tropical, and delicious. Sunnyside Dweller was a nice, crisp pilsner.

Both kegs were #spaceapproved at roughly 12 cents an ounce, can't beat that price even at whole foods growler stations!


Calling doctor AA. Emergency! Come right away.

molotov cocktail, at least the last time i had it several months ago, is incredibly sweet.  perfect example of "alcohol sweetness".  i think it's ok for a half-pour, the missus could mainline the stuff.


So getting a growler for myself might be a bad idea?

Wicked Weed'd.

Just wait, until pot becomes legal, and see what a shitshow corporations will become, to control that.

Massachusetts man busted for reselling beer:

http://fox43.com/2017/09/07/massachusetts-man-charged-with-selling-brewed-beverages-without-license/

It's funny, because I actually came across his website like a week ago, they were selling Aslin and Veil beers (among others) for $10 and $12 a can.

Obviously, at that price, I was viewing for entertainment rather than shopping purposes.

21. The Spaceman. Definitely is over enamoured with numbers. Is working on an minimum acceptable value for the equation: Beer Advocate score*beer size/ cost of beer. Is constantly reminding people how much cheaper he got a growler fill in some far flung suburb. Is constantly reminding people how much more per ounce their local canned beer is than a can of Heady Topper purchased at the brewery.

1 can of beer? That's pathetic.

Speaking of which, the beer scene in Barcelona is indeed lacking. Best beers I can fond are all Belgian. Oh, well.

anyone else going to the Aslin party?

The space ounce/cost ratio is not friendly, but I'm quite excited. Will either be amazing or a shit show.

Didn't they have all the first anniversary beers still on tap the next day last year? But people did get those cool Aslin sunglasses.
