Enlightened Despot

This event was held at the wonderful dover estate which is like a modern day castle. Lickinghole was time releasing 3 different casks of the new Russian imperial stout named enlightened despot. Vanilla, Chocolate, and Coffee. It was from 1 to 8 and we showed up at 6 just in time for them to break open the coffee cask. We got 2 cups of that which was fantastic as we just walked and toured this awesome place. We ended up at a really fancy bar where they were pouring magic beaver and three chopt triple. I saw a bottle on display and it was full of the coveted Enlightened Despot. Then I saw it disappear and I alerted the bar tender and she got on the radio stating that someone ran off with a bottle. The bottle was quickly retrieved and for my reward we opened that bad boy and I really really felt Enlightened...

A perfect pairing

Evil Twin donut break garnished with Krispy Kreme glazed donut. A perfect dessert after a delicious mekong meal.

Three Notch'd

In c ville is a very cool new beer place. Great beer and ambiance

Namaste

Namaste in six packs, that's pretty neat

1st day of brewing

A pilsner

Gingerbread Stout

So this stuff is hard to get. But can be found at local rva drinking holes. When it comes to the Bourbon Barrel aged goodness, now that is another story. There's that incident of the faulty clamp that dumped half of their batch on the floor (I would have lapped it up like a cat). So they stayed true to the game and charged regular price and 2 bottle minimum. I saw it on the news and knew it would be a mad house and steered clear. Miraculously someone showed up to a Christmas party with a fresh bottle, bam got sum. Then went to mekong for lunch after the gym and bam they still had both on tap so good so fresh. And the food and staff are the best!!!

Gobble Gobble

This stuff is so Damn good! Glad I got some. Last year I missed out.

Amps, wings n ales

So we went to hardywood for Amps Ales n Wings where 20 cyclists at a time peddled in motion capturing watts which created the power to cook the wings. Oh and beer there was beer. Which is why I was there. And for the heckling. And while I was there I 

Snagged the last of the Gingerbread Stout half of which is going to friends. 

Cyclists have longtime had a love affair with beer so I knew this was a no brainer. Hopefully hardywood and other breweries see the correlation between beer and cycling and conjure up such events. We really enjoyed ourselves and didn't even cycle but certainly got our heckle on. 

Had the coveted Gingerbread Stout, hoperation collaboration, and the great return pale ale West Coast style. 

Can't wait for the next excuse to goto hardywood

Balance

Got the last of that

Yea we got dat
