    Did they say it was going to be released at both BW & PP locations? I didn’t read that part. I picked up 2 4pks at Windsor this morning. Saved a trip. And I’m liking this v2 better than v1. I almost made a detour to Torrance. I’m glad I didn’t.

    My guess is they won't have cans at PP since brewed at BW, although I suspect they will have draft, or at least I am hoping they do!

    Confirm that NO Beach Retreat was at PP Bressi. No draft, no cans, bartender did not know anything about the rebrew at BW.

    I may be old and dazed, but I ain’t confused. I thought the PP/BW v1 was very good. But hell, the BW/PP v2 is better. Let’s see how v2 holds up. :ok_hand::beers:

    Just picked up a four pack of Mocha Machine Picoso today. Very much looking forward to that Mocha Machine + cinnamon goodness. Also got a 4 pack of Beach Retreat since I only got the one can of it at Windsor and I know I'm going to want more.

    Damn, Beach Retreat is awesome.

    Picoso is just OK to me. I love Mocha Machine, but the chile in this one is a bit to prominent for my tastes (it's well integrated and not overwhelming, I just don't really like that flavor in beers).

    All the flavors are there and noticeable, but I feel like the chile kind of drowns everything out in the finish.

    Just cracked open my first can of Mocha Machine Picoso. Man oh man, beautiful cinnamon and coffee smell, nice roastiness and then a strong spice and heat from the cinnamon and chile combo. Can't wait to sit down to give it proper notes instead of a first impression as I am here.

    Didn’t see this one coming.
    New Beachwood/Karl Strauss collaboration Riders On The Storm IPA.
    And already noted on the Lagers thread the collaboration with Enegren, Reinheitsgebot Lager.
