Pulled one of my few remaining home brews out of storage this weekend. A baltic porter, around 12 yrs old. Very smooth but taste profile definitely flattened a bit after all this time.

Nice, i just bottled a batch of Tart of Darkness.
For a rainy night decided to open up my last bottle of one of my favorite beers ever - Mogli by Caldera Brewing out of Ashland OR. Barrel aged imperial porter at 10.5%.
Was blown away the first time I tried this at the brewery, but back then it was not bottled and you couldn't get any fills to go. When I found out they started bottling it I loaded up on two cases the next time I passed through town.
Flavor isn't as complex as it once was, but still awesome.

Tart of darkness is nearly carbd and tastes fantastic.
Took 8 months to get here.
Couple recent ones
Don't seem to get much from The Bruery down here anymore. This one was light, and nice drinking

A decade ago all the brewers in this town were engaged in an IPA arms race. Today we have three that produce exceptional old European styles - sometimes with a twist.

Wander Brewing Pomegranate Berliner Weisse
I was dinking Stiegl lagers from a can, but found it on tap in a german place (Ein Prosit) in Frisco. Happy day
Good one by Modern Times. 7%

Attachment 463943 Nice on a warm afternoon Attachment 463944 Subversive Brewing comes up with some interesting other beers. This is one of the lighter, crisper stouts I've had in a long time.
I read that Holy Mountain Brewing has opened a second taproom at 7009 Greenwood Ave N in Seattle. This will be much more convenient to me than their old location in Interbay. I might have to check it out and give everyone a trip report. :)
That area is a beer Mecca.
Stoup, Reuben's, Great Notion, Fremont, and at least a half dozen smaller guys.

Porcini beer based on a cali common done with 05 is out of the park savory. Add a porcini garnish for that bit of extra aroma and flavor.
I heart raspberry season

Full Sail Session is back. I guess I'm not sure it was ever gone, but I hadn't noticed it on the shelves for years. Anyway, I saw a six-pack of 16 oz cans yesterday at Fred Meyer for $10 so I bought a sixer. It's good. A nice, clean light lager at a great price point. Great beer for a sunny summer day.
Full Sail brings me back to 1991 and buying a keg from the brewery in some industrial strip place I think over in Southwest, iirc. I was visiting friends at Reed and L&C.
Yeah, I feel like they've really fallen off the radar screen in the last few years. I've been to their production facility in Hood River a couple times, but it's been years now.
