And in the spirit of a little FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK so we can all get that off our chests and feel like kids again:

I fucking love all of you sick, sick people.

You don't love me enough, Gene. Show me yours, and I'll love you long time.

By the way, Gene, I'd rather drink PBR from a can than that skunky Heineken shit any day of the week.

Solidarity, brother.

Well, I really like beer in a glass. And with friends. Yeah, those are my only prerequisites so consider it shown! You guys have rattled a lot of really great beers, but I also like light Mexican beers, which Adelson gave me a hard time about, hehe. You kinda grow up with that around here, so Corona, Tecate (in a can fknA) and Negra Modelo are all okay with me.

I used to play quite frequently at the tasting room down in San Diego at Ballast Point (we just showed up with our gear). Things changed at Ballast Point, just like the did with Lagunitas. Both were purchased. Which doesn't really change anything for me, cause I like beer and I really like those two in particular.

I guess Constellation and Heineken saw a lot of their revenue slipping because of these smaller, successfully run craft breweries. I am pretty certain the same happened to Blue Moon with Miller Coors. Little companies have the time and love to invest in something they know other people will enjoy.

If anything it opens my eyes to new opportunities to try new beers with new friends. There are going to be a lot of beers in this thread, and I expect I am going to have to try them all!

One of my best friend's girlfriend works at Stone. I help her get rid of the beer that she has to collect from local stores out here that have expired. Someone's got to do it...

I like Stone's "Enjoy By" beers. Great idea. Fresh beer, imagine that.

Both Stone and Green Flash relocated/expanded to VA. The Norfolk/VA Beach area is booming for breweries right now. Norfolk either turned down Stone or vice versa. They are headed for Richmond. Green Flash from San Diego has expanded into VB. Probably a good fit. Lots of hipster goobs ready to stand in line to buy expensive IPAs there.

Thanks for the beer, Greg. Right on time.

Racer 5 IPA is a great one... also partial to English and Irish style ales as well. Me also likes Hops!

Sage I will check out your recommendation... Randy, I'm sad to say I can't drink IPAs without getting a headache (hophead?)

Gene, Hops for Hopper! I love that scene...

My fav.




Did you know that the title of this beer means.....

"a psychotic condition typical of withdrawal in chronic alcoholics, involving tremors, hallucinations, anxiety, and disorientation."

Luv hoppey beers as well. Sierra Nevada is doing well over here, amongst others...

Greetings from Scotland!

This new local discovery is working for me...
