A photo of two hearted at work earlier yesterday
Velvet Merlin even though it was bottled last October is still quite stellar. Oatmeal stouts have to be a favorite style for sure and this one remains up there
Among the others samples with a few others

Founders dirty bastard
Sculpin
Two sets of home brews
Fresh squeezed white grape juice added to boil of a basic blonde ale base going on 2 years now. We aged it out of the fridge in the garage for a year. It toned down a bit but not much. We then mixed in some la cumbre malpais stout. So now the flavors are kinda crazy. 4 parts wine beer. 1 part malpais stout. Color is unique
Cream ale that had some fermentation issues. Tastes a touch chalky. But has a surprising hefeweizen like yeast flavor. Almost a sense of bananas.
After having some sours, this ain't so bad
Among dirty B and Dba, dab was forgettable. Maybe it was the drinks in me. But dirty B was among our favorite. Such a great deep sweet scotch like quality. Reminds me of backwoods B in that same sweet sense but with bourbon.
Sculpin was a surprise to a guy who loves la cumbre. I told him it compared nicely and he agreed. Pricey stuff but it's solid.
There no stopping though. Sampling continues today.
4-22 bottled. Great unique hop smell. Kind of tough to drink. Boozy. Medium mouthfeel. Tastes like a dipa.
Ba guesses.
Founders centennial Ipa 89
Fw dba- 87. I remember some bitterness and smoothness but nothing that stood out an ur or two later.
Founders dirty b- 93

victory summer love
Amazing pilsner/ blonde ale sweetness smell. Taste doesn't quite match that. This is bone dry and very very crisp with a moderate hop bite. I want to like it. It's solid. Wish it tastes like it smells. Taste isn't bad though. I'd definitely make it a summer choice if available locally. Ba guess 87
