    Tried Hope by Fire at The Glendale Tap last week. Not bad, murky orange, very juicy and full bodied for a single hazy, though too sweet for my taste. Also a bit too resiny, which doesn't go well with the sweetness. I know the haze market verges toward tropical fruit juice, but that's not what I personally look for (I like green/dank/clean).

    I'm curious about their Westies though.

    I can’t keep up. They’ve put out a lot of beers already and singles are $4.99/5.99 a pop at my craft brew joint. Too expensive for a new brewery to me.

    Mr. K's have any cans of Radiant beers left?

    Seems like they get them pretty regularly? I haven't been since that day which was probably 10 days ago now, but radiant has since released a few more cans. I had one of the DIPA's which I found at First Class Pizza in Irvine 2 days ago (This is Happening) and that too was pretty tasty. The more I try them the more I like them.

    @AlmostDeadly777 , glad to hear you're enjoying them!

    Mike is generally ordering every two weeks, so they do tend to have the new releases. Same with Bradley's and Mr. Kegs, in OC.

    @Sabzi , you can also try calling us; if we're around (which we usually are), I'm generally happy to sell some 4-packs to-go whether it's normal hours or not.

    Got a few of their hazys at Valley Bev Co and I am definitely impressed. I’ll be on the look out for more of their stuff.

    Man some of these CA/HI threads are getting lost with all the extra threads added. Radiant’s two newest ipa’s (including first dipa) are very good. I’m looking forward to trying their newest hazy Sounds Phantastic! I’m digging the new can art work. Black light cans?

    Yeah the regional change was horrible. Hopefully it gets fixed before it completely kills the regional forums. Radiant is just crushing it right now. I've yet to have a dud from them.

    Was it explained why they switched to this? It took me a bit to realize the WA threads weren’t new and by mistake.

    Agreed. I feel worse for the PNW people trying to sift through all the CA threads now.

    Most likely driven by $$$. Probably cheaper to run the boards.

    Get ready for Colorado to get added to the Pacific shortly...... Then try and find the small regional brewery threads...

    Going to drive the rest of us to more local Instagram/Facebook, ect.....

    Visited Radiant for the first time today - 9 beers on tap, all very solid with a good range of styles. The hazy pale (Secondary Motion), Irish stout (Luck to the Finder), west coast DIPA (Keep Moving On), and coffee cake stout (Neither Coffee, Nor Cake) stood out to me.

    I’ve tried 9 beers from Radiant and liked them all except Inherent Good (Lager). They make a lot of beer though! (Too much to try them all). And single cans at my local place are usually 4.99 :rolling_eyes: (Raul is not a millionaire). Kind of wish they just had a solid core instead of having new beers every week (and I wish they were a bit cheaper of course). Oh well, congratulations guys!
