^^i got a 6-pack of that today! I needed wine boxes for our move.

When I took the tour at Lagunitas in Petaluma they said they got shut down right after they made Kronic. Kronic was later renamed "Censored" which the FDA or whoever limits naming of beer made them change. Soon after, they were shut down for inspection for some kind of BS and so they made this ale. They had it on tap back in 2012 when I visited as a trial beer. Its good stuff - probably my overall favorite of theirs.

Not only has my chair been commandeered, but the beer as well

Two easy drinking beers. The Aviator can sneak up on you at 9.2%.

The other is the first beer I really like from those guys. It's good to see a local putting out a mild Pilsner.

A few from the last few weeks

I'm a big fan of this one

Two of NC's best right here. The green man is a great IPA but the Pilot Mountain is one of the best Pale's i've had

As with all of the Harvest beers from Sierra its a keeper

My first from Mystery Brewing and they are very tasty. Good to see another great NC beer.

the flavor of the month

2nd time on this one. wins my vote for best beer label

Nice black IPA

Had to have a good german yesterday so the Kristall fit the bill

Been wondering about the mystery brewing selections. Good to hear.

And agree the pilot Mtn pale is great

Tried a new to me dark horse option this weekend. Very good brew.

something is fermenting in my closet

Nice work, Al!

I had the Ballast Point Sculpin today at Sam's in Durham on tap - I see what all the fuss is about now Very smooth and yet that hint of grapefruit gets you to the hop finish nicely.

I picked up another Burial beer (Stout) and the Lagunitas Equinox and a few others today at Sam's.

I can't get my pic to come through - will post later

 

[lt1fire]

did you try the grapefruit sculpin or the regular sculpin. Both are good but the grapefruit has a pronounced grapefruit taste

 

[weejub]

Al - Grapefruit. I got it bassakwards - - had the grapefruit on tap and bought the IPA:

Also spent some time talking to the brewmaster for G2B. He had his coconut IPA as tasters - pretty good stuff!

Was running low, so restocked.

It was this kind of day.

Trying a new one here from Boone nc

Appalachian Mtn brewery -AMB
Long pine ipa. Not bad. Not bad at all

 

[lt1fire]

A few from camping this weekend

Make sure you read the label on this one....... it was damn good though and a good "oyster" stout

 

[shellb]

that's a good one.

I have to thank someone for this little taste of beer heaven. Thanks brother.

And Tori thanks you for this one. Man nothing but the best for us!

Cin still needs to drink hers. Can't believe I haven't stole it yet...

 

[lt1fire]

you have no idea how hard it was not to drink that while aging it 6 months
