Let's talk good beer

Beer lovers torpedo Lagunitas lawsuit against Sierra Nevada - SFGate (http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Beer-lovers-torpedo-Lagunitas-IPA-lawsuit-6015913.php)

When craft beer makers start worrying about labels...time to sell to the big boys. Shame on Laganitas.

Dude that runs that company is a little out there.

Yeah, how serious was his complaint if he got internet shamed over it and dropped it within 24 hours? Oh god if this would only work with Dan Snyder...

This type of thing isnt the spirit of the micro/craft beer movement...

^^^ this craft beer store in Elkton looks to be very promising. i feel like ive been there before. ive def gotten off I 95 to look for a bar around Elkton a few times before.

their website lists a ton of beers ive never seen in MD. fair prices as well, equal to what i pay at my store in the city.

I just got a lagnitas hop stoopid bomber. Shame on you laganitas (but I love u too)

perfect pour in ellicott city/columbia area has the best variety and selection i have seen in any MD craft beer store. everything seems overpriced by a dollar. titan ipa is 12.99 instead of 11.99, etc. (MD dist still completely out of great divides brewers pick)

tried the smuttynose, pretty good.

w sculpin, my brain is really zeroing in on the grapefruit aspect and it is starting to become a distraction.

some new beer developments ive noticed:

1. beer camp is back!!! - sorta. ballast point's indian pale lager won the contest so they are doing a six pack release of ballast points contribution for only $8.99 a sixer. that is a good discount from the 11 to 15 bucks ballast point beers usually cost.

im def picking up a few 6ers tonight.

2. sierra nevada has a new 12 pack out called "4 way ipa". at 18.99 its a fair price. Ive never seen a "black ipa" but there is one in the SN variety pack as well as ive noticed other brewers coming out with black ipas. im hesitant to buy a variety pack without knowing i will like each beer. i still have 2 SN porters and coffee stouts from a winter pack months ago.

ill be getting a 12er of this as well.

I also have a 12er of the hoppy lager in the fridge. I tried the 4 way last year and enjoyed it. I believe the black ipa was my favorite.

tried a sixer of Goose island IPA. it is an english style IPA so its like an english bitter meets american IPA, with the english bitter being the dominant party.

it grew on me as i drank it. a cleaner crisp finish which is kinda the opposite of hop heavy american IPAs that leave your breath killer.

i will probably just buy great divide's english bitter over this, but i liked it.

SN's 4 way IPA 12 pack is next.

i dont like to drink during the work week but sometimes when the terps play on a weeknight it has a football sunday feel and i like to drink a couple.

problem is most beers are 7% and up, you drink 4 or 5 and your groggy the next day.

tried new belgium's session ipa. at 4.5% it was tasty and after drinking 4 last night, im good to go today.
