It's taking a lot of effort not to just straight up chug those Cantillons already.



I opened this instead.

I wasn't gonna drink tonight, but work was frustrating as hell and I bought a new mason jar, so I'm not gonna just not drink out of the mason jar.

I'm of the opinion that Blind Pig is better than Pliny. Bottled on 6/20.

211 Steel Reserve...

211 Steel Reserve...
that is all

My friends and I drank Steel Reserve almost constantly when we were young (we even celebrated "Steel Reserve Day" on February 11th).  I visited one of these dudes about two years ago and we tried to share a forty for old times' sake and we couldn't make it past a few sips.

Brett, have you had The Bruery's Sour? I don't remember if it had a fancy name or not, but it was the first sour I ever tried and it was damn delicious.

This one has been my go-to as of late:


But I tried this one the other day and fell in love:

Drinking a black IPA from a new local place, and it's highly enjoyable.

For my friend's birthday last week we got a sampler plate of every beer the place has (it's a small place, maybe 14 craft beers on tap tops), and I at least somewhat liked almost every single one. This place is right down the street from me, but because of it's complete and total lack of "hipness"  (it is populated by 100 percent mid 30s white urban professionals, and the menu is in both papyrus and comic sans) I get to avoid running into absolutely anyone I know by going there. It's perfect.

This completely kicked my friend and my's ass last night.





Liked it a lot more than the first time I tried it. I prefer Sucre but yeah, this was a great ending to a night that started out by seeing this beautiful monstrosity:

Best beer I've tried this year so far. Oh goodness.

[Anna Karina]

Favorite beer.

This porter, this porter is my kind of porter.

had an Ace Joker earlier today with some trainwreck

I prefer Saisons to IPAs is what is my general personal statement about craft beer.

On another note, did anyone do Beer Camp???

[jer]

oh cool, enjoy your inferior beer.

There were no IPAs in beer camp...lol

[Anna Karina]

There were hoppy beers in it, but they were like four months old, so it's a good thing they didn't go the IPA route really. Not sure what that's supposed to mean in regards to the fact that IPAs are better though.

[Anna Karina]

Sours are where it's actually at though.

I mean, there's no IPAs on the fucking moon but that doesn't really detract from how much better IPAs are.

I'm a fan of sours.

just sayin i enjoyed the variety and that they didn't try to reinvent the wheel, there were alot of good beers in there. My faves were the hopped pils, the tropical maibock, and maillard's odyssey. was really only disappointed with the allagash collab, and just cause i wished the coriander was more prominent.

Goin to the PIZZA PUNX, CA eviction party today...hmm, what should I bring??? Gonna have some fun deciding! I'll let ya guys know what I end up choosing.

on a separate note, anybody had Unity Vibration Kombucha Beer or Mateveza? A KPA and a caffeinated IPA brewed with Yerba Mate, both are hella good, Kombucha beer comes in a few different flavours of which i have had the original KPA with juniper and the raspberry...THE RASPBERRY BULBS HAVE FINALLY BURST WITH FLUID, lol, yeah, that one was good! Good luck finding them though, only ever seen them both in one place. Unity Vibration is outta Michigan, so it must be distributed other places and Mateveza is just too god to go unnoticed!

[IMAWRAETHTHU]

Didn't end up going to the party, but I do have a Unity Vibration Raspberry Kombucha Beer in the fridge for later today!!!

8% AMERICAN WILD ALE!!!

OH YEAH, THE RASPBERRY BULBS GON' BURST WITH FLUID TONIGHT!!!

might even mix it with a raspberry Guayaki Yerba Mate!

My roommate drank that last of my Beckenridge Vanilla Porters and I'm super sad. Mostly because he was already way drunk off nasty Bud Light so he didn't get to truly appreciate the amazingness of that beer. What a waste.

[amanda]

I love Breckinridge's Vanilla Porter!

I also still don't like IPAs.  I keep tasting new ones and they all still taste like carbonated potpourri oil to me.

Swung by my old stompin' grounds while out for a haircut. Picked up bottles of:

- The Bruery/Smog City Atomic Kangarue
- Prairie Cherry Funk
- El Segundo Two 5 Left DIPA


The Two 5 Left was bottled two days ago so I guess I should probably crack that open first.

I didn't get to go to any breweries during my brief trip to San Diego, which was pretty much the only reason I went down, because the people we were with were lame as fucking hell (and passed out by fucking 9:30pm).

Tonight Highland Park Brewery is having a Sour Beer Night for LA Craft Beer Week, so I'm getting a few people together to check it out.
