And one more time for anyone who lives near or ever travels to Santa Cruz California. Stop by the Front Street Pub and try the smoked porter. Been almost 20 years since I had one and I still dream about it. Lol.

Re: Let's talk good beer

Hopslam was pretty damn good this year. Only got a sixer, which I had gotten more.

Picked up 2 cans from Singlecut in Asotoria NYC, both dipas - harry doesnt mind and softly spoken. expensive at 8.99 a pint/can but ive never had anything from them before.

I've been hearing Singlecut is the new must have around here.

It was really good but not $8.99 for 16 oz good. I liked Harry more than Spoken Softly. I would love this stuff at 12.99 a 4 pack. I recommend trying it but its just too expensive to put in the regular rotation.

Beer prices for these single pint cans/bottless are getting ridiculous. No way Maines Mo or Peeper or Amber should be $7-10 per bottle. Why does a simple balanced pale ale cost $8 per 16 oz? Maine needs to do 4 or 6 packs of Mo.

Tried 21st Amend blah blah blah and its a tasty crushable dipa. A slightly better more loaded Faceplant from rhino. (song blah blah blah by brother ali and slug is good song as well).

Ballast Point Manta Bay (dipa) is out and fresh. Seems to be a new offering from BP. I didnt get it the other day when I first saw it bc i didnt want beer in the house on a weekday bc id just drink it but read some reviews and they look really good. Excited to drink a sixer this Friday.

Champions (VA) fruit basket was good. I will def get it every now and then when fresh. Im going to try their other offerings from time to time.

I liked Fruit Basket as well. Malibu Nights, however, was just ok. Worth trying.

Got to try some Monkish the other day. Juice Lee was very good.

Went to a Rar Tap Takeover last Friday and got to try a few of the beers I missed from the last few can releases. Blacker The Berry was better this time around. Lumber Sexual was a nice beer.

Had a crowler of the Berry Cherry JREAM from Burley Oak. That was amazeballs. They are doing a can release next weekend with 2 new flavors. I highly recommend them.

Did a flight at Downtown Crown. Highlight was Hop Brothel by Diamondback. Want to get my hands on Green Machine.

Aslin is the DC area's answer to NE Style IPAs. Their stuff is amazing. Can releases on Thursdays, growler fills Friday until they run out. They've closed up shop the last 2 weekends because they've run out.

Heading down to RAR tomorrow for the release. I have not been able to get my hands on some of Diamondbacks Hop brothel or green machine yet but have heard good things. I had some of their regulars about a year ago and thought they were horrible so I had written them off. Was told they got some new investors and have stepped up their game.

Re: Let's talk good beer

LOOOOVE me some mexican lagers. Tecate/Modelo/Carta Blanca. For some reason they're so much better in cans too (and obviously with a lime wedge).

Fresh Pernicious, ive been lucky to keep finding it so I keep buying it and at 10.99 a 4 pack, its not overly priced. Was looking forward to some fresh double duckpin but they sold out before I could get, I assume Union did a smaller batch than usual.

KBS should be released in MI only for March and then it should be around here in April, seems later than usual.

Any good beer releases coming?
