Excited to hear your thoughts @spiffa0 and @sean_rugy !! @spiffa0 ’s package was about $55 worth of beer and @sean_rugy ’s was $100. I was surprised how far $100 can go. But yes I should probably slow down on the trading for a bit, not to mention buying beer for myself.
Two beers today. First up, Allagash White w/ BBQ oysters at The Marshall Store on Tomales Bay. Secondly, another beer from @sean_rugy . Hudson Valley - Incandenza w/ Galaxy. It’s excellent, on a different level from the other sour IPAs I’ve tried. Hop character is perfect here. Really dialed in.
Beautiful! I don't know exactly the places I've been, but one of my best friends is in Oakland so we have gone up for oysters, cheese, and picnics a few times. So fun.
My first @djwildefire beer. Sante Adairus Signal Cues. It's very good. Different then most IPAs. There's some taste at the backend of the sip that is very interesting and I can't pinpoint it.
First beer from @BlueEyesBrewing and it's great! I looked up where this brewery is and it feels very middle-of-nowhere for someone from California haha.
woo! Glad you liked it. I found it really interesting as well, I don’t know that I’d ever had Riwaka hops before and certainly not anything with only Riwaka. All of Sante’s IPAs are unfiltered and sort of straddle the line between WC and NE IPA. Tonight, I tried my 4th beer from @sean_rugy ! Moving through these pretty quickly so far. Arrowood Farm Brewery’s Porch Beer, a wild ale. It’s really refreshing, low in abv at 4.8%, but still packing a lot of flavor and even some nice nutty funk. I really dug it, especially the more I drank of it. Perfect for today’s hot weather. And I’d never heard of Arrowood before so it was a nice surprise!
Also, anyone seen Rodenbach Alexander 4pks popping up near them? Snagged one at my local Total Wine today!
It’s kind of hard to tell tbh. Not sure what that date code means. I do know that these 4pks have been popping up around the area the last few months or so tho.
Ending my night with a relaxed 19.2% nightcap. But hey, it's Tuesday, and it's Black Tuesday release month sooooo, fuck it.
