No problem, was genuinely wondering if that was a small batch or something. It's still a fucking great beer.

So a bunch of Green Flash has been showing up at my local store. Got the discovery pack which included West Coast IPA, Double Stout, and Hop Head Red (all imperials). All excellent. Also it was only $16 which works out to be the equivalent of just under $4 for a bomber. Considering their bombers usually start at $8 ea I thought that was a great deal. Also picked up a 6 pack of the Soul Style IPA which I guess is supposed to be like a 'normal' IPA but I thought it fell flat on the hop flavor which is unusual for Green Flash. Also had a 12/26/14 Enjoy By, still think that is the best IPA/DIPA available currently. Too bad WA only gets like every third run of it.
Green Bullet es tres bien
I can't resist Lagunitas beers. I dont know why I ever buy anything else.

The thing about the Lagunitas for me is the price point. It's pretty damn good beer and it's fucking cheap compared to everything else.

I brokered a deal with the Bengals bar here in SF that allows us to buy all Lagunitas beers on tap for $3. Leads to excellent drunken Sunday mornings.
Heading back to Cincinnati for the holidays and a shitload of breweries have opened up since I left. I plan on touring or visiting all of them. Rhinegeist, MadTree, Fifty West, Blank Slate. Gonna be good.

For my fellow midwesterners, here is Boulevard Brewing's 2015 release schedule:
A few interesting new products coming out next year, their first pumpkin beer, a rum-based Imperial Stout, a couple new IPAs, etc. I'm also glad to see the Ginger Lemon Radler becoming their summer beer, it was apparenty received well in it's first year of production this year. It's infinitely better than their traditional Zon summer offering.
Managed to snag myself a couple bottles of the limited release Boulevard Crown Town Ale, celebrating the KC Royals run to the World Series this year

I do like stouts quite a bit, but I'm always a little leery of chocolate stouts or coffee stouts. There's a lot of really mediocre ones out there. I rarely think to myself that a chocolate/coffee stout is better than if it just would have been a plain stout.

Went to Shebeen Brewery here in CT yesterday. Smaller operation where the head brewmaster actually gives the tour and drinks with people while you're there. It was fucking awesome. Picked up a four pack of bombers (Cannoli Beer, Irish Pale, Pumpkin Scotch, and Triple IPA) then a 6 pack of their black IPA, as well as a growler of their plum something something (12% abv) as well as two flights for me and my girl - $35.00.
It was a good day.

Love stouts (and porters). Sam Smith's is good, drank a lot of that the last time I was in London. My personal 'go to' dark stuff is usually Mission Brewery's Dark Seas, Green Flash's Double Stout and Victory at Sea, Great Divide's Yeti variants, Sierra Nevada's Narwhal and Oskar Blues' Ten Fiddy. I'm also a sucker for the big barrel-aged imperial stouts and barleywines - mostly because I hate picking up a beer that advertises 'hints' or 'notes' of something that I can't taste, but the higher abv's don't hurt either.
