Happy hour starts a little early on Friday for me. Hopefully you too. Drinking (albeit a little early):

Intiharing a Black Ops (or I would be if it weren't so carbed -- have to top off in a moment). Figure I keep getting offered this in trade so I may as well tick it to see if it's worth the ridiculous price people keep telling me it goes for. It's a pretty interesting beer actually.

Bummer. The one I had was tasty.

Yeah I had it on draft at Local Option in May and thought it was fantastic. Can almost taste the awesome on the back end once the tart goes away.

When I poured it and the head flashed away like a Coke I knew I was in trouble. For $15 you better believe I'm trying to soldier through.

Disappointed Dad sigh.

Agree that it's an interesting beer but pricey for sure. Even when I was up in NYC visiting my cousin, it still went for 21 dollars per bottle. I've seen worse in other areas. I was planning to bring back home two Black Ops but my cousin and I had bit too much fun. Killed both bottles in one setting.

Dat champagne yeast. I really dug that one myself.

Very nice. I've been quoted as high as $28 for it. Very drinkable for >10%. Not sure I would do it again. We'll see.
 
Decided to skip the BCBCS party (there'll always be more of those, right?) and just start with some liquid brownie mix
