Long time Blogging....or Since it has happened

This summer was busy with a lot of sun and fun and beer. A couple notes on what has been drunk this season. First off my new favorite seasonal stout, Indra Kunindra from Ballast Point. It is a stout with curry, coconut, cumin, and kafir lime. It is delicious with spicy sweetness. 
We also went to Missoula and checked out Big Sky and Bayern. Big Sky had on tap a Orange Mocha Stout which was amazing. 
Thirdly we went to Bellingham and went to Chuckanut Brewing. Came back with bottle because they are not distributed statewide. I recommend the Dunkel Lager.
For the Fourth of July we were up in LaConner and we decided to go Anacortes Brewing. I highly recommend the food and beer.
We did a couple of "Beer Tastings" Highlighted beers from the tastings
Fremont Old Bridgerider-a bourbon barrel aged barleywine
Breakside Elder Statesman-a bourbom barrel aged red ale 
Cascade Vlad the Imp Aler-a sour aged in bourbon barrels . 
Evil Twin Lil B- Imperial Porter
Rodenbach Grand Cru-a grand cru
Robinson's Brewing Trooper-a bitter from England
On our anniversary we enjoyed three tasty beers from breweries that we have visited together our favorite was the Mogli from Caldera. A chocolate porter aged in oak barrels, best chocolate beer I have ever had. 
Final Odin opened a new location in South Center. The tap room is really nice and spaceous. They also have Odin's Gift on Nitro! All in all it has been a good flavorful summer. I and my taste buds are excited for fall flavors , Elysian's Dark of Moon......oh yeah! Cheers!
