Hello out there...

Wow, looks like it's been since about this time last year that i posted anything on this site and figured I would write something.  New music i've heard: Girls - Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (really good, check it), Fruit Bats - Tripper (pretty nice, better than last few releases in my opinion), War on Drugs - Slave Ambient (def check this one, very sweet vibes), and a classic T. Rex - Slider (getting hip to it late, but better late than never - "Metal Guru" -niice:) )  As far as brews...tried to make the Stone Double Dry Hopped IPA cask at 12th South Taproom, but no dice...already gone, missed the calf killer Wilderness too.  I have however purchased a Life and Limb Sierra/Dogfish collaboration which I'm going to try to age as long as I can:), also recently snagged some Pliny, brew free or die ipa from 21st amendment, hop crisis from them as well, russian river damnation, lagunitas a little sumpin' sumpin' (and also the a little sumpin' sumpin' wild) and a pretty good slew of other beers from a recent trip to seattle.  Also tried the recent batch of yazoo fresh hop.  It was alright, they used Styrian Goldings which are a little milder of a hop profile...not a grapefruit or piny, fruity, resiny hop presence, more of a mild, but smooth, wave of bitterness and mild resin that last for a good length through the taste.  Might not seek this one out as adamantly as I thought I might before trying.  Oh well, it's about that season to be looking for those fresh hops though, and Happy Oktoberfest by the way!!  Looks like that got started up this past Saturday and runs 'til October 3rd..so look for some oktoberfest brews as well!  Or brew some!  Good shoutin' back out again and thank for keeping up.
