Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Woot the Smuttynose variety pack FINALLY ditched the Star Island Single. And wouldn't you know it replace it with a badass black IPA. It's seriously been years since they've changed up this 12 pack.

My biggest complaint with The Bruery is their damn pricing. $21 is just too much for one bottle of beer.
I grabbed a bottle of this to try when I got the 1809 yesterday .... dear God, what a glorious sour.

The lowest their beers go around me is $18. I'd say the majority of what I find from them is $21 with the odd $18 in there some times.

Have been on a big sour/wild kick lately.
My go-to sour is Monk's Cafe as it is light, not as tart as most, very easy drinkability. Rodenbach is probably my favorite of all the sours, it is one of the original modern sours afterall. You can also never go wrong with The Lost Abbey, but very hard to get outside of the west coast. I have 3 local (within 75miles) breweries that do sours/wilds. Against the Grain in downtown Louisville specializes in sours. Upland Brewery in Bloomington, Indiana makes an incredible sour, but is also brewed 2 months a year sadly. Crooked Stave Vienne is pretty decent, tastes like tart grape soda. Bell's Oarsman is so-so, I use it as a last resort...
Petrus to me is overrated and for the same cost, mind as well go Rodenbach.

Er... that's getting "old" as it were. I managed to get some of it a few weeks ago, and it's better than the others of the same series I've had.

Fuck that is awesome. I've only had two of the series, are they similar? They didn't seem to me, but I had one months ago (very herbal and dank) and then I've had a bunch of the 4/20 (resinous and very piney).
