I have seen some awesome beers at various tasting events, lets see some pics from local BA tastings! -Cheers Here's mine from a recent "Belgian beer night"..I know its not all Belgian, we got sidetracked
Did a Barrel Aged event back in January with a couple of buddies. Those a re 2 vintages of KBS, and a homebrew. The Pearl Jam was just something that someone brought over to feel like they contributed. Sorry, I can figure out how to post a picture from Shutterfly on here.....
Nope that's just 3 Guys having pliny for the first time! Add a 75 minute to that pic and a six of freedom of 78...still doesn't touch IPx tasting though...Damn.
That's an awesome lineup! I'm hoping to do a "moby Dick" night where everyone brings their shelf queens, hopefully it looks half as good as this. (I was going to say a "moby dick tasting" but that didn't sound right)
13 bombers and 15 twelve oz bottles were killed by 12 people that night that bled into the early AM and from what i could remember (details became quite hazy at the end)...it was pretty epic
What are the beers next to the Rare and PvW DL? Are they both Dark Horse? I am curious how the Rare and DL compared.
A couple other BAs and I had a small get together last night. Props to Kgristoff and syu3003 for bringing the GIs --- they were ridiculously tasty.
a couple buddies and i do tastings every week or so at my apartment... here's probably the best two nights we did. dark lord vertical blind tasting probably the best lineup we had:
Speaking of Gilgamesh, here's a pic from an Upland tasting we did a little while back. Thanks to everyone who brought bottles and invited me! The Sour Reserve was the highlight of the night. Also, a pic from another tasting last week.

Man I have to make it out to one of these! Your avatar is definitely one I would love to be a part of. Actually there is someone out there that has about 3 cases each left of batch 3000-8000. Saw them last week, about had a heart attack until the store owner told me they belong to someone.
Reviving this one. Had a really nice mid-week tasting with some BAs and friends last night: Short's Aww Jeah, Biere de Mars GR (16m), Cantillon & Hanssens geuze, 2008 Scharbeekse, D. Carnegie 175th Anniversary Bourbon Barrel Porter, Three Floyds Rye'd da Lightning, Kabert, Struise Amatus 12, JW Lees 1988 Harvest Ale, Harvey's Elizabthen Ale '98, Sam Adams Triple Bock '94, growlers of Shorts Mmm Kay, Bourbon Barrel Aphasia old ale, Wolverine Gulo Noir, & bourbon oak soaked vanilla coffee porter homebrew
I'll post my Bachelor Party tasting if I remember to get pictures. List so far (and these are only the beers I'm providing, other BA's and friends will be bringing more): 2011 Lolita 750ml Petrus Aged Pale 2010 Ola Dubh 12 Old Rasputin XIV Cuvee Rene Kentucky Monk Angry Goat Weasel Boy growler Homebrew Amarillo/Simcoe/Centennial IPA 16oz swingtop + 22oz bomber
I bought a case and thought it came out fantastic. I was also lucky enough to drink some cask Aww Jeah from the anniversary party.
Amateurs! (just kidding) This was our night a couple of months ago: Including this baby. The 07 Pappy BCS!
I've yet to like a single short's beer. 2 have been drain pours of the 6 i have had (uber goober and black cherry stout). Didnt like the humalumapulahaadmalicous IPA either. Is Aww Jeah any better
