I actually liked the 3 Lick Spiker, but like you said, it might be because I had it early in the night (one of my first five beers I think). Of course, I liked the Lift Bridge float too so we might just be on different wavelengths…

Sadly, the blueberry porter was all out by the time I got to it but luckily I did get some Grand Design.

Good! I really want to try Darkness and company.

Michael – the Surly anniversary beers have only been on draught very occasionally. But I believe they’re planning to bottle Four for broader distribution in the near future.

Drank some of the Spiker the other night and was surprised that it was pretty decent. I’d love to try some of those Surly beers but I don’t know that I’ve even seen them. The baby with the t-shirt…awesome.

I like their tap handles too. I’d love to have one for my kegerator. It’d go well with the DFH pimp cane!

Cute kid! And I love the Schells tap handles. I have always hated those antler ones… but, as my mom always said, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Sounds like a nice event, wish I could have made it. Cheers.

Kris – I’ll give Lick Spiker another shot on its own, instead of following other massive beers.

Michael – agree on Four’s chalky flavors. I’m also gonna wait to get a bottle before I form a fuller opinion.

I must say that I really haven’t cared for any of the four Surly anniversary beers. Four was the best of the lot, but had some odd chalky/char flavors that became annoying. I will withhold final judgment until I can actually drink a full serving.
Sadly the Fitgers blueberry porter was out by the time I made it to their table.
Didn’t try the Biscotti float. It sounded good, but I didn’t want to muck up my glass with a bunch of cream.
