Last night, I hosted a small beer tasting for the first time. It was a very enjoyable time! The highlights of the night were The Bruery Batch 300 Tripel, Great Lakes Barrel-Aged Blackout Stout, Cantillon Classic Gueuze, ’08 Goose Island Pere Jacques, and a homebrewed chocolate coconut stout from Jason Box – yum!

Here’s some beer porn.

Jason Box (DaytonBrewing) posted a video of some of the tasting, an anti-climactic opening of Gueuze, and me yelling at my loud dog. Check it out!
