Do you guys know the Greenbush Brewing company and their stuff? I had Dunegräs IPA from them recently, and it was just delicious. I get it now whenever I see it in the store.

Got a mix-6 at the beer store among other things. While I was filling it out, it occurred to me that I've never actually had a regular Budweiser. I've drank a lot of BL and other BMC beers especially when I was younger, but this one I seemed to miss. So among a bounty of Stone, Franconia, and Founders was a single, shameful bottle of "America."
Now to decide on proper glassware.

I went to a street festival tonight sponsored by a local brewing co. - Main and Mill - tried their blood orange berliner weisse; they are so close to getting it really right but there was just something a bit off about it. So , I went down the street to a different food/bev tent and they had Urban Chestnut zwickel. It is a really well balanced lager and good for street drinking!
Yay for live music and good beer!

What else have you tried of theirs? I opened up their Apricot Frucht the other night and really enjoyed it, quite a bit more than the Rueuze.
Yeah, they do some weird stuff. It's mostly the smaller batch non-distro stuff though. I haven't had anything that I thought was awful, a good number that weren't in my "range" so to speak, but I can usually at least appreciate what's going on. Usually it's the higher ABV's I have trouble with, they can be pretty boozy and I'm a light-weight.
Currently have 3 bottles that are over 16% and I think 2 more to pick up. Definitely plan on sharing those.

I've only had the Or Xata, and it's pretty awesome. Had it on tap at their tasting room and also had a bottle iirc. Fantastic reproduction of horchata, I need to get some more before it's out actually.
I have a bottle of Mocha Wednesday in the fridge and one of Black Tuesday that I need to go pick up. Current stash is:
8 Maids-a-milking

Yeah, 8 maids is fantastic. I didn't get much chocolatiness, and while not a stout officionado definitely the best milk, if not stout, I've had. Period. Wish I had more than just the one bottle.
Also smooth as hell for the abv

I will have to travel out of state to get any Bruery stuff... that tart cherry reads delicious.
In other beer news, I did pick up a Breckenridge sampler pack (yay, vanilla porter) and the Boulevard Fall sample pack. It has a rosemary IPA that was tasty with my lasagna ( with ricotta of course) and their new tasting room milk stout that was really good for dessert tonight.

In local beer-nerd news...
Head of Brewing Operations Todd Haug Steps Down At Surly Brewing - Surly Brewing Co.
Head Brewer at Surly Brewing has left... which was sort of foretold when his wife was "asked to leave" after helping start the restaurant side of their new mega-brewery complex.
edit: it also helps explain the 45 minute guitar set that Todd did at their Darkness Day event (rare RIS release event).
Surly also produced a shit-ton more of it this year. Not that hard to find in the local market, so I'm guessing Chicago will see it's fair share soon as well. BA version should come out in January and I'm hoping to get 2-6 bottles of that as well.

My guess is they rename it to something else, but I have no idea. Makes me wonder what they'll do for the anniversary release this year, as it's usually been super focused on Todd and Omar.
