    4hands cans in CBC Belmont, which excites me tremendously. Super Flare, Passion Fruit Prussia and Incarnation. As a St. Louis native, I applaud this new development.

    I chose not to buy any Bomb! or Birthday Bomb! because I don't think either is worth thirteen bucks for a 12-oz.

    Rapid liquors Stoneham was about $8.50.

    250yards up the street at Red Stone....$12.

    fair play to Red Stone. They manage to take the market for any beer and drive the price up based on some social media fueled conception that they are either stupidly rare or unavailable elsewhere.

    People will come from miles around to queue for one over priced bottle while the rest of us are walking into other stores and buying market value multiples.

    Swung into Fort Point Market Tuesday. Incredible selection of Crooked Stave. I've never seen that many different bottles in one shop. Hit them up if you're a fan.

    Rapid liquors, Down the Riad Deeamtime NEIPA.

    Grabbed it as I picked up some singlecut tell shaky.

    First of all, so much crap floating in it. Tempted to run it through a sieve or something.

    That being said, it's a lovely tasting beer. Juicy, or course, fruity, but with a solid hoppy bitterness.

    I'm no good at describing flavours and what not, just that this is as good a readily available NEIPA as I'm likely to find. Really quite impressed.

    I'm sorry but this beer is like drinking a bottle of suntan lotion.

    Yeah I'm no coconut fan. Had a Prairie Paradise recently. Not that good

    I'm not a big coconut fan (I can't stand eating coconut but I'm OK with coconut flavor) but I love Last Snow.

    I picked up a four pack of Devil's Purse Surfman's Check ESB on the Cape this weekend. (Billed as both "ESB" and "English-Style Pale Ale" on the can) Really enjoying this beer. A little caramel, a little nutty, with a good amount of earthy bitterness on the backend. Very drinkable. Nice to have a solid local ESB in a can. Hoping to see it on cask around town or at NERAX North.

    Any one know if Funky Buddha Last Snow is still around? It seemed to sell out much faster this time around, and not as many stores got it.

    Big Pipeworks drop at CBC Belmont. Picked up some Ninja vs. Unicorn, which I always enjoy. Also had Blood of the Unicorn and a couple of their fruity "guppy" beers (hard pass).

    JA Post Shift Pilsner just hit my shop. Excited for it. I believe this is what came of the pilot pilsners which I enjoyed very much. Looks like 6 pack 16oz cans and 12 packs. The rotating 6pk/16oz are the best deal in town for me.
