Tonight was a celebration, and there was only one beer that could support what needed to happen:

Actually drinking Boulevard's Love Child No. 3 tonight which is a wild ale aged in bourbon barrels. Absolutely spectacular. Also highly recommend Rye-on-Rye and The Sixth Glass.

Totally agree. I stumbled upon this at the Teeter and am hooked. Very good every day beers.

So, here we go. As far as this list is concerned here are my reactions to the ones I had or have had:

Saison Chateau: I liked it and agree it was what you think of when you think "hmm, how do I describe a Saison to someone"...that said there were better IMHO
St. Dekkera Sour Quadrupel: This was baws. Their stuff was baws. If you see anything from Destihl, do it.
Oud Bruin: I did not have this at the festival, but I have had this since I moved to CO. It is very well done. If you like the Flemish, this is a must find.
Assassin Imperial Stout: Aged in Pappy barrels. Enough said.
Big Bad Baptist: Again, another I had outside the festival. I really dig Epic's offerings. Another run of must tries, if you see their stuff anywhere.


Now, what did I taste that I can recollect (this is the key). I was hammered after an hour into the festival. I tried to mark as I went, but you can see the geographic location of where I was too drunk and excited to keep that nonsense up. Here are the beers I marked with reflections: ***RAN OUT TIME TO PUT REFLECTIONS THOSE ARE TO COME***

1. Hop Valley:
-Citrus Mistress
-IPA
-6.3%
-Good balance, nice citrus flavor (a lot of grapefruit on the back-end)
-Really nice IPA, I enjoyed the balance (I like IPAs with balance, to each his own)
2. Logsdon Organic Farm Brewery:
-Peche N' Brett
-Saison
-10%
-Oak aged; fantastic peach flavor on the front; great tart finish with the Brett coming in strong
-Absolutely fantastic and a must try
-Oak Aged Bretta
-Saison
-8%
-Oak aged; nice fruit front notes of pear, peach and strawberry; a nice smokiness from the barrel comes through on this one; really nice balance
-Another must try
-Seizoen Bretta
-Saison
-8%
-Very similar to the Oak aged but a little less boozy; this had a stronger sour note to it
-A must try
3. Black Raven Brewing:
- King Dandy
-Hochtoberfest
-Tamerlane Brown Porter
4. Bend Brewing
-Lovely
5. Breakside Brewery
-Passionfruit Sour

I know I need to try the Biscotti Break, but does anyone have any other must try beers from them?
