Yes, I know this is still a pup. Couldn't wait. Sue me.

@fieldworkbrewingco Sabbath Year Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. Just a straight-up stout, nothing added. And who needs anything else, anyway?

Silky smooth, with vanilla, milk chocolate, and a touch of maple. Those with more patience than I should be well rewarded as the years pass. Can says 12.5%, but quite frankly I don't know where they put it. Yikes.

BTW, to the good folks at Fieldwork -- this post should in no way be construed as any attempt to curry favor regarding my recent, um, inquiry.

But if it was, is it working?? 🤪

Cheers, y'all! 🍻🍻🍻

Well, it took them moving all the way down to Marin County for me to do it, but I FINALLY made it to @henhousebrewing.

Their newest location, in the former @ironspringsbrewery in Fairfax, manages to be hip and comfortable at the same time. The rustic coziness has given way to an airy, modern, minimalist space, with a nifty little alcove tucked in back if you just want to chill with friends over some drinks (wine is also available).

And the beer? C'mon, this is HenHouse, everything's gonna be amazing. I enjoyed the Big Science DIPA (on National IPA Day, no less), which was musky and dank, and wore it's 8% a little too well.

Took home a real treat, as well. The Beer 2000, an Imperial Stout celebrating their 2000th batch, won a Gold Medal at the CA State Fair, and for very good reason. It's quite simply amazing. Roasty, bitter, chocolatey and rich, it's impeccably smooth and balanced. One of the best stouts I've ever had. It's a sipper at 9.9%, but oh, it's so easy to drink.

Tons of great beer out there, people. Go grab some. Cheers, y'all! 🍻

Well, @armisticebeer, rye not??

Been waiting for a suitable day to crack open this 13.5% stout, aged 22 months in Templeton Rye barrels, and the overcast and wind told me today’s the day! ☁️🌬

Inky dark and glass-staining, viscousy and maple-syrupy, with a slight peppery edge from the rye, lifting the finish and prepping the palate for the next sip.  Perfect for warding off the, dare I say, chill???

Oh, I’m told this is a reference to some sort of internet meme?? Dunno, something the kids are into, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Cheers, y’all! 🍻🍻🍻
