B-Day Extravaganza, Part 2 - With Prototype

After Sin & Redemption, we went to our hotel and waited for Prototype. We decided to go have dinner at the Mill Street Brewpub, located in the very cool Distillery District. This is where the night started to get sloppy, John, Prototype and I all tried out Mill Street Tankenstein (All I could find on this one was a forum post no reviews)on cask which is a hoppier version of their Tankhouse Ale on cask, and Doug tried the Octoberfest. With Doug still working on the Octoberfest.....sigh, the 3 of us shared a pitcher of Mill Street IPA, and then each had a pint of their pumpkin ale, Nightmare on Mill Street, after Dougie finished his beer he tried the Mill Street Frambozen, which was a raspberry ale.

Our original plan was to go to Bar Volo after dinner, but with C'est What being closer, and us in no mood for a long walk, we decided C'est What was the best option. C'est What was fairly busy when we arrived and they didn't have a table ready, this gave us an opportunity to lounge at the bar and have a drink. John and Prototype started with Flying Monkey's Hoptical Illusion on cask, and I tried Granite's Hopping Mad, also on cask, Doug went with the King Pilsener. This is where shit hit the fan so I'll just list the drinks that we tried as the order is just fucked. This was also the time Doug quietly stopped drinking. Lightweight.
Duggan's #9 IPA - Prototype
C'est What Steve's Dreaded Chocolate - John & Kish
C'est What Caraway Rye Beer - John
Great Lakes 666 Devil's Pale Ale - Prototype & Kish
C'est What Big Butt - John & Kish
Durham Blak Katt - John & Kish
At some point Prototype also had Hopping Mad by Granite.
...... In between this mess John drank his arch-nemesis/favorite beer for the first time on tap Unibroue's Trois Pistoles

We walked back to the hotel, and while Doug and Prototype looked for some fast food, John and I kept drinking. First we had Great Lakes Bottle Conditioned Pumpkin Ale, which is a lot better then their normal offering, and then we had a Sam Adam's Octoberfest and called it a night.
