awesome. enjoy!
im such a huge fan of furious. i feel like everyone needs to get it. it's hands down my favorite ipa, and ive tried pretty much everything with a great reputation except for sculpin.
i only wish abrasive had the same hops in a double dose as furious.

I picked up an Avery variety pack, I rea din here once or twice it was a solid brewery so figured a variety pack was the way to go.
I tried the IPA last night, it was decent, very smooth but not as hoppy as most IPAs. B-
I also had the Redpoint Ale last night, I enjoyed it quite a bit, so far was my favorite of the 2. More brown then Red, more of a copperish color, could taste some caramel in there, gave it a nice flavor. B+
2 down and I am quite pleased.

Do you want to trade a bottle or two of your '10 darklord for '08 darklord by chance?
I'm headed up to the taste of midwest ticket thing tonight. A friend who isn't even into beer all that much called me very excited about going to this and I couldn't refuse the crazy way you have to get tickets. At least that's what I'm telling myself...

incidentally I purchased a sixer of Stone brewery Ruination IPA. Intense hops.
some people came into the apartment and asked where the weed was at.

I'm also very fond of Ruination, and I recently had a session of mixing it with both the Pale Ale and IPA. I didn't find any combination to be much better or worse than any other. They were all mighty tasty. I suggest giving it a shot yourself.

The White Rascal was kind of a dissapointment to me actually. It seemed be almost overly carbonated and lacking taste. It has a decent citrisy nose but the flavor kind of dissipates and has virtually not after taste. C-
The Out Of Bounds Stout was very good imo, had a creamy, coffee, slightly chocolaty. Quite enjoyable.... B+
Oh, and Id like to change my Avery Redpoint Ale grade to an A- that **** is goooood.

This one guy at FFF one time kept calling the Dreadnaught "that weed beer."
I'm up on the north side of Chicago, near Lincoln Square/Ravenswood/Albany Park border.
About halfway between Kedzie and California on Lawrence.
If you plan on going to any of the city breweries or brewpubs, we can meet there, or if you're in the area.
Worst case (for me), I can go up north to you. PM me if you have something in mind, I'll be in town all month I believe.
