    OK, this is really the last one. Little Baby Wyatt from Tombstone. This is easily the best tasting low abv IPA I've ever had. @honkey, do you ever miss? Cheers, brothers and sisters.

    I'm working my way through this thread from the beginning so forgive me if this has already been discussed to death in the last couple hours. Your impeccable taste in brews aside, I love the fact that you gave Bruce some love here. He's one of my favorite musicians for a multitude of reasons, some I can't even articulate. One story though always sticks in my head, have you read the story about Bruce and Allen Iverson? If not, I'll try to track down the story/article, but it's such a great story. An extra cheers to you tonight!

    Yes, it's actually very inspiring. Haha. That's cool that you know it.

    I've had many Firestone Walker pours over the years, somehow I never came across a Union Jack. Our local mega box retailer has a Firestone Walker sale each Summer, so grabbed Union Jack and also three 4/6 packs from AleSmith, my favorite CA brewery (Beachwood 2nd, many other great ones as well). Looking forward to trying my initial Union Jack pour this Sunday!

    The Beer Temple, a Chicago craft bottle shop (taproom closed due to Rona), had a discussion about beer reps / and what outside brewers not here at this point would regularly do well. They felt Tree House, Trillium, Hill Farmstead, Alchemist and New Glarus would work, but would be hard for others either due to logistics (getting fresh PtE here regularly) or other reasons. New Glarus was here a decade ago, pulled out because of our corrupt distribution laws. Bell's pulled out as well for a time before returning via a different distributor.

    When everything reopens, I'll head out East (NY, NH, VT, ME and Quebec) and visit a bunch of breweries I can only see from afar when scrolling through WBAYDN.

    Greater Good Citra. Again, good but nothing to really clamor about. You definitely get the citrus meets funk vibe, which is interesting, but maybe too disparate for more than one at a time.

    Wife has a Minky Doodle opened. Very tart raspberry sour. It has a lot of flavor, though a bit too tart for my tastes. Some time might do good things to it. I think I enjoyed the Froth Sourbet more, but that’s been MIA in the shelves since “pause” insanity started.

    That sucks. Do you have to put her down or is she cart-cat viable?

    Yeah, had one yesterday while golfing. Very unique...seemed more floral than anything I’ve had before.

    I've been gone for a couple days from this thread, but I've still been holding it down and continue to do so tonight. Four Points Bodega 01 is a new series that tries to blend hops in less common blends. This combination has been enjoyable from the canning. :beers:

    Also curious about this but didn't want to ask myself. Hoping for the best.

    I think the taper of the glass plus the height of its base makes it appear to hold more than it actually does

    Citra and mosaic are a pretty common combo. A fantastic one at that.
