Oh man, before I forget: Craft Beer Week was, two weeks ago I think? My Facebook status all week was "Craft Beer Week is the new Shark Week."

I didn't go to the bars every day, but I went to the Muddy Pig two or three times: once with Barry for some tasty New Belgium's Ranger IPA and a very cool free glass, once with Jess and Rae for a middling Bells glass, and I thought I went for the Fulton Sweet Child of Vine with Markie, Matt, Jess, and Rae — but if so I've no idea where I put that particular piece of swag. Somewhere.

(Very nice to get enough glasses to replace the blue plastic drinkware I had left over from college.)

On Wednesday of Craft Beer week I met up with Markie, Matt, and Cari at Stub and Herb's for a Flat Earth night (there was a wide selection of stuff they'd made in the past available in various sizes) and while they didn't have Curly Tail (which I've been missing this baseball season), they did have two new-to-me beers that I liked even more: Hemispheres double-chocolate and another one called Black Forest that tasted just like Black Forest Chocolate Cherry cake. Fantastic.
