  1. Pipeworks reliquary (until about an hour ago), Brooklyn local 1 (100 rating from the bros on beer advocate), Pipeworks close encounter (a staple and must try in the Pipeworks lineup of brews), and one final bottle of bell's hopslam. And that is without a decent liquor store for 50 miles.

    1. I'm actually pretty excited about the Chipotle Smoked Porter because its something so vastly different than what I've been drinking for the past 2 months and I think it'll be pretty complex and flavorful. I do want to try some of Pipeworks' stouts (and just more stouts & porters in general). I've heard good things about Close Encounter and Abduction. I guess they're releasing a raspberry chocolate version of Abduction sometime soon.

      With that said, I can't wait to try the Revenge, Alchemy Hour and the Odell IPA (got 6 bottles through letspour.com). It'll also be interesting to see how the Sinister holds up upon a second tasting.

    2. I must say Coffee Break Abduction was probably the best stout I've had in a long time. The last two stouts I've had (Lagunita's Cappuccino stout and Rouge Chocolate Stout) were much less rich and creamy than I've come expect in dark beer. I'm assuming this is because the Pipeworks brew was an imperial, but it still made the other two look quite flimsy in comparison. I am definitely excited to try Close Encounter, and I think the Chipotle sounds pretty great too. I was hoping someone around here, maybe even Berkot's would get Alchemy Hour. Unfortunately, no such luck.

      I signed up for Letspour.com but I wish they had a wishlist type feature. I'm assuming they probably don't due to the fact that they don't keep beers in for very long.

    3. Just had my first bottle of Alchemy Hour. It was really, really good. I'll be posting a review in a couple days.
