    Just curious, what did you have at Smog City, and how long ago was it?

    I went with two of my friends over Labor Day this year. We sampled Cuddle Bug, Little Bo Pils, Nitro Little Bo Pils, Sabre Toothed Squirrel, Chip Shot (the only one I enjoyed) and Bloody Knuckle Robust Porter.

    I'd say El Segundo over Three Weavers if he's going to be up in that area.

    Cuddle Bug is great. I personally am not a Pils fan, so I am not a fan of that. And Squirrel is just the standard Pale Ale, but I find it good, can see how people could be bored by it.

    Other than Cuddle Bug, it looks like you didn't get the best beers they offer. At least in my opinion.

    What are your favorites of what they have on draft right now? Maybe a few IPA and a few non-IPAs. My brother enjoys IPAs and I do not.

    If the list is still correct online, Kumquat Saison is good, I would assume Mulberry saison is just as good (I miss the Mulberry tree in the back yard from growing up), I like Grape Ape IPA, but if you don't like IPA, then probably not for you. California Love was good last year, have not had this years batch. Coffee Porter and Chip Shot are basically the same things.

    Awesome! Thanks for the tips.

    Love your avatar, by the way. Mega Man is one of my all-time favorite video games!

    Coffee Porter is the base beer for Chip Shot.
    Chip Shot has vanilla, orange and cinnamon added.
    I'll respectfully disagree that they are the same beer.

    Kumquat Saison is very good right now.

    I don't think I've ever had a bad beer from smog city but infinite wishes is the only one I'm looking forward to having again.
