I'm giving up beer.

Hah, as if.

My liver and waistline will probably appreciate this month being over though.

Saturday's beer: Caldera Brewing Company, India Pale Ale (IPA), 12oz can, 6.1%abv. These Caldera beers are good, but it's just plain weird to pour a real beer out of a can.

Sunday's beer: BrewDog, Paradox Speyside, 11.2oz bottle, 10%abv. This was delightful. It's an imperial stout aged in Scotch whiskey barrels. Recommended to be served at room temperature, which was a good recommendation. It was very tasty, and I just wish the bottle was bigger.

Today's beer: Full Sail Brewing, 21st birthday Doppelbock, 22oz bottle, 8%abv. This is a special release for Full Sail's 21st anniversary. I've been really impressed with the Full Sail beers over the last several years, and this is no exception. I'm not normally a Bock or Doppelbock fan, but this one is great. Good malt profile, crisp, clean, rich, just overall very nice. Full Sail had a bad span of years a while back, but ever since they became employee owned, they've been producing good stuff. Glad to see their 21st birthday pass with a good brew to mark the occasion.
