Blind Beer BIF #6

A little behind in updating this site.  Had a few boxes come in over the past 2 months, including one for the Blind Beer BIF #6.  Everyone sends 12 beers who's identity has been hidden and the recipient tries to guess style (or actual beer, if they're bold enough)

Ghoulschip Release

Allagash released it's 2nd coolship beer today, Ghoulschip.  This was brewed with pumpkin, pumpkin seeds and molasses, then aged three years in a barrel.  I was able to try this beer this year and last at a local bar, so was really happy there was a 10 bottle limit

Vermont trip

Went to Vermont a few weekends ago.  Visited Burlington and Waterbury.  Didn't take too many pictures but here they are:

Beer sampler at Vermont Pub & Brewery in Burlington

Tower at Magic Hat

Inside Magic Hat in the Tasting Room

Couple of Hill Farmstead single hop IPAs (Rakau and Amarillo) at Blackback Pub in Waterbury

And that's what 2 1/2 cases of Heady Topper looks like!  Unfortunately, not all for me.  Also bought a sweet t-shirt and glass
