HOLY CRAP!! I’m like 40 min away from losing the “post 2 blogs in a week” bet! ..good thing I remembered! 
So its about that time of the year that the “Irish style” beers start coming out.. why not review one!
This one from Lakefront pours out nice and dark with a light brown head. Its got some good head retention and a lot of lacing. Its a great stout with a hint of smokiness to it. I’d talk about it more but then it would be after 9 when I post this..
SCORE!! I win!

In the past weeks Joe (@ajbombers) and I (@blatzliquor) couldn’t help but notice how many customers we shared but not always on the same day. Seeing as how we are located so close to each other (I throw my empties at his front door) we decided maybe we just need to motivate you folks a little! soo… we hatched a little plan..
Blatz Liquor & AJ Bombers would like to present to you our “Burgers & Beers” program.
Now when you get your beer (wine/liquor) from Blatz Liquor and bring the receipt from that day to AJ Bombers you get a free side of sweet potato chips. If you go to AJ Bombers first and bring your receipt from that day into Blatz Liquor you get 2 free beers from our “build your own 6 pack cooler.”
Its pretty sweet we know.. but we’re pretty cool guys and figured there had to be a way to thank everyone out there for their continued support. What better way than free beer and free chips?!

This time we grabbed a beer from the 5th oldest continuously operating brewery remaining in the United States, Point Brewery. You only have a few more weeks left to grab this guy, the brewery stops putting it out July 31st!
This is an unfiltered wheat ale that is well balanced using “au naturel” raw and red wheat, then finished with Yakima hops. Its got a pretty weak head but a nice golden color. Its a little light on the wheat beer side, you could definitely put several of them back in one sitting.
For the price its a good deal, plus you get a sweet label with a bunch of implied nudity!

..this is attempt number 3 to post this blog and I have yet to figure out to copy it before I hit “publish” so its also going to be time number 3 writing it! *shakes fist at computer*
For anyone familiar with Dogfish Head brewery you know they don’t mess around when it comes to their beer. The Palo Santo (holy tree) Marron Brown Ale is no exception. It is aged in Paraguayan Palo Santo barrels that are typically used by wine makers. This Friggin’ beer is 12% ABV but you would never know it! You definitely get some caramel and vanilla flavors but the most interesting flavor comes from the wood its aged in. There are also some familiar flavors that you would recognize from a traditional brown ale. The $13.99 a four pack these guys cost is totally worth it, I don’t know how long I’ll be carrying it though so if you want it hurry down!

I typically order a good variety of seasonal beers but this one definitely peaked my curiosity being brewed with beet extract and all. I actually sold through the first case in less then a week and didn’t even get to try one making it even more intriguing to me. So since I haven’t written a blog in a while I figured this would be a good pick!
The first thing you notice is the slight pinkish color, not quite as deep as a berry weis, but certainly noticeable. Nothing too crazy on the nose, but I’m also just getting over a cold so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I gave it a good swig, thankfully the beet isn’t over powering. In fact, the beet barley comes through except for a little bit on the finish. I was a little surprised considering Magic Hat’s #9 and H.IPA and others I have had, it makes sense though. Most summer seasonal are light easy drinking beers that you can put quite a few back in one sitting. I would say that is a pretty accurate description of the Wacko, but If you want to try it, stop in!
