Had some Sapporo on tap at a local Japanese restaurant this weekend. It's been a while since I've had it.
Tried some "Lucky Beer" from China. I drank about half a bottle and could not finish the rest of it, I just did not like the taste. Within a half hour I had a splitting headache, which I think was brought on by the beer. A waste of $7.99 for a six pack.

Some beautiful (and local!) Smithworks Kellerbier.

That's interesting. I didn't even know that such a thing existed on tap!

Tonight's quencher. Simply delicious. Can't wait to try some of Ballast's other brews.
Try their Sculpin Habanero; it's delicious.
Ballast Point makes great liquor also.
I found my first ever 6-pack of a rather rare midwest brew. You need to be at your local store the day it delivers to get any. Most retailers only get one case a month....
Zombie Dust
ZOMBIE DUST!
I typically enjoy Hoppy wheat beers and hefeweizens but find Zombie dust to be one of the best beers I've tried.

Had a Weyerbacher Riserva 2015 last night. Great sour and a nice tart Raspberry flavor.
Not a fan of BA's ratings (they tend to think hoppy IPA Swill is great) but they nailed the ratings on this beer:

This was a nice smooth drinking ale, that went well with some takeout Thai food.
XXXX Australian Pale Ale
So I stop in to a new local brewery in Haddam, CT to check things
out, "Steady Habits" brewery,
http://steadyhabitbrewing.com/main/
but leave empty handed. On the way out of the plaza I drop into Tony's Package Store, and am completely bowled over @ the selection of beer they have. Literally "hundreds" of single bottles of craft and imported beer (not always a good thing since they may sit) They had (3), count them three ales from St Sixtus Abbey in Belgium; this is an ale I have not seen in a store since about 1983. In the fridge now, and hoping to crack it open in a few hours.

Or 10 mins in the freezer. I go to a store that has a rapid wine chiller which is a container that has swirling water in it. I put the bottles of beer in there. It says that 7 mins will turn it ice cold. That ale sounds very good.

Ok, I cracked it open; have the ~25 oz bottle; this is clearly "the best ale" I have ever had; it is just as I remember it from the 1980s. It is like a meal in a bottle. The 10% ABV is a bit too much in one sitting; I don't like recorking beer (comes with a cap + cork like wine)
Which one?
Running 12 oz of Guinness Blonde Lager, in a chilled glass.
Abt 12; the blue one.
