That's a beautiful spread, Welleran. 
In Omaha, you say? There's only fuck all in the western half of Nebraska. 
Bought 2 six-packs last week, Empyrean Brewing Company (Lincoln Nebraska) Dark Side Vanilla Porter (5.7%) and Boulevard Brewing Co. (Kansas City) Nut Cracker Winter Warmer Ale (7.8%).
I had one of each the other night, and cannot recall which tasted like which now. Woke up with a slight hangover.

Boulevard beer does that, or at least that's always been my experience with the Bully Porter.bobjester wrote:Bought 2 six-packs last week, Empyrean Brewing Company (Lincoln Nebraska) Dark Side Vanilla Porter (5.7%) and Boulevard Brewing Co. (Kansas City) Nut Cracker Winter Warmer Ale (7.8%).

I've been working my way through a six of Zip Line Oatmeal Porter, from Lincoln, NE, and a six of Leinenkugel Creamy Dark. I'd never heard of Zip Line before. Learned about Leinenkugel from a little Czech/Bohemian place in Omaha about 10-12 years ago. It was much better ice cold on tap there than from the bottles I buy here.

I went to a Zip Line by my hotel in Omaha last week. I liked their stuff even better than Brickway and Upstream’s. Good stuff!!

Had a Bell's Hopslam with my lunch today.
Damn, 10% ABV beers really do hit you once you stand up.
Gonna be an interesting afternoon for a bit.

Death of Cthulhu. An appropriate beer, given that one of my PCs was killed in the first round of the first battle of the evening.

Alewerks Tavern Brown Ale. Most excellent beverage while one of my PCs is swallowed whole and incinerated by a Remorhaz!

Re: Brew 2018
I tried some Batch 1000 by Granite City on my last trip to Chicago. It’s a double IPA with a 9% ABV. The locals were pretty enthusiastic about it, but it seemed pretty generic to me. Good, but not something I’d go out of my way to recommend.

I saw this guy with a wizard hat on assembling a Dwarven Forge dungeon. I walked up and asked if I could play. Without looking up he answered, “Table’s full.”
