And if I'm not careful, these friends may be breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next few days. As you can see from the photo, I didn't go along with my original idea of only bringing back pumpkin beers, though five isn't too bad, I guess. I couldn't pass up a couple of Ballast Point Sculpins, even with the $12.75 price tag. And I had to buy the 18.2% ABV BrewDog Tokio Imperial and Weyerbacher Fifteen smoked stouts for my eventual stout challenge. Not to mention the beers I had to drink while away because I didn't have room to bring them all home: Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Wild Belgian IPA, Smuttynose Big A DIPA, Harpoon Leviathan DIPA, and Weyerbacher Double Simcoe DIPA. Even though I lessened the bottle count by drinking those, I was worried my bag would go over the airline's 50 pound weight limit. I was even willing to pay the fee for overweight baggage, but it came in at 42 pounds. Should have packed a few more beers in there! I will try to pick back up on Albuquerque beer news tomorrow.

Having Some Friends From Back East for Dinner

You dog! Mindy and I should have you over for dinner, and you can bring your friends.
Sigh. That's all anyone wants me for.
Nice haul there! I actually cracked one of the 18% Tokyo brews last week. It was mega hot, but still delicious. Give it four or five years and you'll sitting pretty!
I was going to open it at my stout tasting, but may hold off.
The Arcadia Jaw Jacker sucked. I should have bought more Schlafly.
