My Friday night drinking was a disaster this week. Picked up five beers, two that I know are amazing, three I've never had. Went exploring through the three I'd never had, and it got increasingly disastrous:
1.) Banana Chocolate Big Bad Baptist: Clear cut case of the adjuncts making the beer worse instead of better. Wasn't terrible, and got better as I drank it thanks to buzz setting in, just not that amazing for a $15.50 can of beer.
2.) Cinnamon Roll Big Bad Baptist: I loves me some BBB, but this was two for two letdowns. This one surpassed "meh" and was at the point that I felt like I was working to finish it.
3.) Biscotti Bourbon County: This was the biggest surprise, as Goose Island tends to not fuck around. And I loves me some biscotti stout usually. This beer was downright fucking disgusting. Poured the last of it out.
The beers that I passed on for these three disasters were a 2023 Bourbon County Backyard Stout (mulberries, boysenberries, marionberries) that's fucking amazing and a Ladybird Stout from Kings and Daughters (vanilla, cocoa nibs, coconut) that's also fucking amazing. Some other day, I guess.
The Puppy Love was actually pretty damn tasty. Be sure to roll the can before pouring as I missed out on a little sludge at the bottom. Really good, though, and at 6% you don't get sick of it.
I saw that 23 berried Bourbon County in a cooler recently and thought hard but didn't pull the trigger. Maybe I'll go back and get it.
Knocking back a Fast Fashion while making chili. One of the breweries I regrettably couldn't get to while in Bend a couple summers back. Highly recommend.

One benefit of AI is that video game movies will no longer suck.
Too many stories can't be done with live action.
Saw this and obviously had to buy it in honor of the great one @puppylove_sugarsteel.
I love my tile backsplash beer pic rivalry with the plebe anus Doog.
@BleachedAnusDawg, was that any good?
