Bi Weekly, Buy Beer, By God I do have a problem

During my six months of abstinence I decided that evey other week I would pick up four beers and stash them until the end of February. I have been going out to West Richland beer and wine to make my purchases. They have a good selection of beer as well as six taps. It is very easy to get sucked into buying, talking and drinking beer. Today I had a wee bit of a brake down. Instead of the usual four I wound up leaving with the eleven you see below.

Four Trappist ales; the Rochefort 10, Westmalle Dubbel and Tripel, and Orval. Along with those are Brother Thelonius, a Belgain style from North Coast Brewing. A four pack of Double Dog Double Pale Ale by Flying Dog Brewing. The last are two that I never had before. Both from Southern Tier Brewing Company out of Lakewood NY. One iscalled Hoppe, an Imperial Extra Pale Ale, and the other is a Barley Wine called Back Burner. I'm not usually too impressed by east coast breweries, but I hope they have learned something from their westerly brethren. I'll let you know in about six onths.
