Kudos to @Sledog for some good beer & food spots in Sandpoint, ID. McDuff's atmosphere(s) between the Brewery and the Beer Hall are great and the beers are pretty good, too. Grabbed some No-Li Porch Glow Amber from the Super1 (best grocery stores ever) to keep the fun going before heading off to Missoula for the game.
Now, after a tough-tough loss to Weber at home, I'm inhaling all the Cold Smoke I can get my hands on and finding brown, porter and stouts wherever I can, because IPA is Kryptonite to my brain cells and the mere mention of it causes me PTSD. Classics? Oddly I've been on an Eagles kick for the past week and I keep hearing Lyin' Eyes at eateries around town.
I opened two bottles of the non-vanilla variety yesterday. I don't think the vanilla is worth the extra $5, but it's also really good, and I did get one of them and drink it in December. Abraxas is my favorite beer, period. Local bottle shop only gets it this time of year, so I stock up. I can only drink so many $30 bottles, so I leave these for special occasions.
Yes. I hear the brewery that collaborates on that is really good, but I prefer any variety of Abraxas (regular, vanilla, BB) over the Bombraxas. I had one, and it's good, I just like Abraxas better. It's decently coffee-forward if you're into that.

10 out of 10, highly recommend.
What did you pay, if you don't mind me asking? Best I can find it for is $29.
It was $25 at Costco in Gig Harbor.

Is the universe trying to tell me something?
Best Orange IPA/Pale in the entire NW, rather easily.
I am not listening to any classics, but enjoyed a cab that drank like a wild fermented sour aged 4 years in oak barrels.
Opening this tonight. 98 score on Beer Advocate. Not sure about how high Fanduel has it ranked, though.
Also got this for good measure.
Breakfast?

Have you had the Bombraxas variety? Coffee and vanilla. I went vanilla since it was the last on- hand.
