Weyerbacher Quad.

Not only were we lucky enough to run into Shawn from the Beer Genome Project but he let us know about a Weyerbacher release party happening at Muddy Pig and offered to give us a ride! He introduced us to a couple guys from Original Gravity who awesomely bought us some beers...

The plan was to have a bunch of folks over for a tasting tonight but that ended up falling through. All’s well though. More Fred for me.

Possibly the best beer in the world.
The Abyss: Stout brewed with licorice and molasses with 33% aged in oak and oak bourbon barrels.
In celebration of Deschutes coming to MN later this year I decided it was time to revisit one of my favorite beers. Even though I have 9 bottles of this from various vintages it is seldom consumed for fear that supplies will dwindle and I will be caught without stock when it is most needed. (Yes, I...
