Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for me. Simple and grand.

Bottles or Cans? I picked up a six pack of the cans Tuesday. Great for sneaking into places you should not have beer.

I'm gonna pop open a Pennant Ale when I get home, even though there won't be any games on by time I get home.

Went to a Tap Takeover for Beers from Captain Lawrence Brewery tonight

Beer list:
Birra DeCicco – Italian Chestnut & Honey Ale St. Vincent’s Dubbel
5 Years Later
Saison
Golden Delicious
Birra DeCicco – Limone Lupollo
Espresso Stout
Imperial Smoked Porter
Drew's Brew
Family Meal
Imperial IPA
Nor’Easter

Lots of good stuff. Some not so good stuff. Golden Delicious probably my fave of the night - which is odd because I usually prefer the darker beers - stouts, brown ales, etc.

Posted my thoughts on each beer as I was drinking them on Twitter (@trombacco)

Captain Lawrence makes some fantastic brews, especially their sours.

In honor of the Full Moon tonight, I am drinking a Wychwood Brewery King Goblin Ale.

First time trying one. It was ok.

I picked up a Dieu Du Ciel Aphrodite for tomorrow night. My Wife picked up an Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer. The place I go to has over 500 Beers available, so I decided that every time I go there I will just grab something that looks interesting.

Drank the Dieu Du Ciel Aphrodite last night.

I had the Aphrodisiaque on tap last month and it was amazing. Very chocoloately & smooth. One of the best Beers I have ever tried. Went crazy looking for it afterward only to find out it is sold in bottles under the Name Aphrodite.

The bottle of Aphrodite was definitely not as tasty as the Aphrodisiaque. It was still very good but had less of the chocolate flavor and was not as smooth. Not really worth the $6 I paid for the 11.5 oz bottle.
