Just the one that was in the beer camp 12'er. I hope you're bringing some of that with you for the golf cart!

Drinking a Dogfish Head 60 min IPA right now. Pretty delicious.
Crux Fermentation Project: Half Hitch Mosaic Imperial IPA.
Wowsa, so good. It's like $5 for a 275ml bottle ... Steep! But so damn good.
I know people were unimpressed with SN's Flipside last year, but I think it's pretty tasty. Maybe not outstanding, but a very solid beer.
Really enjoyed the Thai style white IPA from Upslope. Highly recommend Attachment 157474
Jesus Christ that is not IPA. Thai style? Fuck
bwah. Thai-style
You two agree on something?
IPA = India Pale Ale
but there aren't any Indian Inspired Spices in it - water malt hops yeast in an oak barrel topped with more hops shipped overseas for months from GB to colonial India - obviously things have evolved and we can't recreate that but FUCK!
I get it. Creativity. Marketing. And some people actually like that sorta shit.
Grumble grumble grumble....
Get off my lawn!

Laurelwood megafauna is really good, not a bitter imperial, but a good one nonetheless.
So I went to a concert with some friends Saturday and I went to empty the ice chest the next day and low and behold there was a bottle of Pliny in it! I'd never had this much hyped IPA. I must say, it was really, really good.
^ damn dude, Central Valley, never had Pliny??? You need to keep rolling past Carson Pass and over 89 to Roadrunner Liquor Store in Myers more often! I don't know whether they get Pliny or not, but they get a ton of stuff, and it's probably a better shot to get Pliny there than most Central Valley locations ... If you have a Whole Foods near you, you can call to ask them what days of the week they get their distributor shipments and ask them to hold a bottle for you ... they might be willing to do that for you. Metric ass-ton of trouble for a 16.9 oz. bottle of beer, but hey, that's life when you want a hot ticket.
These days I drink mostly Drakes and Knee Deep anyways, and only buy Pliny from the shop for friends :)
PS - Speaking of buying beer for friends, highanxiety I still owe you some west coast IPAs, I have not forgotten, thanks for the Heady's, just been so slammed with work all summer!
Roadrunner had no Pliney today. They weren't sure if they were going to get any this week. If I see some I'll get more for GiBo.
Not as good as last years anni beer, but still an interesting and good flavor:

^awesome! Just spent 3 glorious hours at Stone! The anniversary and the Enjoy By on draft were fantastic.
Speaking of Pliny, I swung by after an MTB ride today ... F that!!!

Was there anything special or is that now a "normal" Saturday? Jeebus, that's f'ing nuts either way.
That's a long line for elder. I'd get it if younger was available. Right now I'm loving deschutes fresh squeeze. Hard to beat. Was super stoked when it graduated from the seasonal 22 to year round sixer.
I think just a normal Saturday. I had dinner somewhere else, and an hour and a half later the line was still the same length!
It's good to be a brewer these days!
Seattle International Beer Fest is going on this weekend. I'm thinking about going today, but I'm not sure I'm ready for the hangover.
Here's the beer list: http://www.seattlebeerfest.com/beers.php
Where to start?
Not gonna stand in line for it, though. That's ridiculous. No beer is worth that. Pliney's good but not that good.
jeezus! Bar has a good vibe to go with the good brews. I can see why it's that busy.
Kelsen brewery in NH has a good IPA, Battle axe. http://kelsenbrewing.com/beers/
To be fair, you did not need to wait in line for To-Go orders, and I bought the last 6-bottles of Pliny the Elder they had left in the place (I'm sure they do a bottling run every week?). $31.50 for the 6er I think ...
