Green Flash Treasure Chest 2015. This year it is an IPA brewed with Grapefruit, prickly pear juice and hibiscus flowers. Pretty good though simple. There is the obvious grapefruit and grapefruit rind, you get some pepper notes from the prickly pear juice and a little nectarine and peach. Also it supports a good cause.

Stone Enjoy By 10/31/15. Hmm. This version has a fair amount of grassy/herbal/peppery hops that I don't usually get. I wonder if it is just my palate tonight?

Ok, I think I managed to correct my palate (well at least some). I am still getting some of the grassy/peppery hops but now I am also getting some tangerine, peach, grapefruit and orange as well.

Speaking of beer fridges......

Bud Light Bud-E Fridge – Bud Light Bud-e Fridge

Bud Light introduces the ultimate in smart technology innovation to ensure that sports fans never run out of Bud Light when watching the action. The Bud-E Fridge is a first-of-its-kind smart home beer fridge that enables consumers the ability to view real-time information from their fridge – from the number of Bud Light cans and bottles in it to when the optimal temperature is reached for them – from anywhere that they have access to a mobile device.

The Bud-E Fridge and its accompanying smart-phone app (available on both Apple and Android devices) lets sports fans program their favorite sports teams so that the Bud-E Fridge can keep them up-to-date on when games are approaching. When games are approaching, the Bud-E Fridge immediately lets them know if their game day supply of Bud Light needs replenishing, and as fans re-stock their fridge, which has a 78 beer capacity, the Bud-E Fridge updates the stock level in real-time. A countdown timer indicates when the Bud Light will reach the optimal serving temperature, which the Bud-E Fridge achieves by chilling beers below 32 degrees without freezing them.

Even though I am not a fan of Bud light, that is a cool concept.

Did some heavy drinking on Saturday.

When I know it's a marathon, I like to go with Rolling Rock, my favorite of the crappy cheap beers. So I was killing those pre-Clemson.

After Clemson took a quick 14-0 lead, I switched gears and threw some Rhinegeist Pure Fury on top of the Rolling Rocks and started to feel quite the buzz. Delicious APA.

At halftime, when I felt good and miserable and needed a real pick-me-up, I cracked open one of my Alpha King's from 3 Floyds. Not nearly as good from the bottle as it is on tap, but still a very good beer.

Once the game started up again, I switched back to the Pure Fury. I did not feel great on Sunday morning.

Received a CostCo BeerAdvent Calendar as a birthday gift yesterday:

I know my way around the German import section of TotalWine, and I've never heard of any of these breweries:

Had my wife not given it to me, I'd return it. But I probably can't do so without hurting her feelings. Oh, well... prost, I guess.

I'll bet you find a couple gems in there whis...

In terms of a 'beer fridge' I still have the little mini fridge that served as my fridge in college... it sits in my garage right next to the door into the house... that's where my beer resides... no way I could fit beer in our actual fridge, don't get me wrong, we're not rich or anything, but our fridge is usually full to begin with.

Is the Altbayrisch Dunkel supposed to be Ayingers Altbairisch Dunkel? If so that is a pretty good beer.

ETA: Nope it isn't, I found the beer that it is, it is Altbayrisch Dunkel | Private Landbrauerei Schönram | BeerAdvocate

Belhaven Twisted a Thistle IPA... Pretty good. Light, floral but balanced... Different from American IPAs obviously... Much more smoked malt and caramel than you'd expect in our IPAs...
