Blueberry Coffee Three Philosophers-Ommegang Brewery
Even a full pint last PM after sampling/sharing a few days ago with family didn't change my mind whether is was started at about 55 degrees or finished about 65 degrees, this beer was very good but I still like the original better. Perhaps I should look for a barrel-aged variant or two.

So the wine drinker will be hosting the next virtual pub.
Beer Style: Wine Barrel-Aged beers
Date: Saturday, January 30th
Time: 4pm CST/5pm EST
I'll get the Zoom set up in the next few days to provide the meeting ID and PW.
Thoughts/comments?
Many thanks for agreeing to host the January VP!!
This. Is. Awesome.
Already have my first (of several, I hope) selection/s, via a trade/transfer portal entry from accfan (there was a small amount of $$ involved in the exchange and consideration given to future "draft" choices from both *parties*).
Wait, you're even gonna set up the Zoom? Is fuse out of a job?

Went to a local hangout called "Charred" where we can still sit outside by a nice big fire pit. Had a couple of beverages. I had an O'Connor El Guapo Agave IPA - Meh!? Not bad. Then had an old standby - Victory Sour Monkey. Still good. That's about it for the updates. Fire pit warmed us nicely on a chilly evening.
