    I'm really loving the BREWS this Brewery is putting out in their CANS. Good Solid Brew

    Picked up a pack of Dig My Earth yesterday ($22.xx out the door), very good stuff. I'll have to be on the lookout for their next release.

    Dig My Earth is one of the best hazy double IPAs available on the shelf that I've tried. Definitely looking out for future releases.

    Love the space, love the beer and I'm always confused as to where to park when I drink there.

    Hung out there for an hour this weekend and it's a dope spot. Really into their pilsner as well as Pale Ale. Went in hoping they'd have an IPA because a coworker brought growlers in many times and they were fantastic. Really didn't care for that dIPA, too malty. Blackberry saison was also lovely.

    All the beer we had seemed to be using the same belgian yeast which was making the pilsner a bit too bready for me

    Picked up a four pack of this. Murky as hell, lots of really ripe peach notes. Really good stuff.

    Cheers,

    I'm still surprised by how easily attainable this beer is. Every liquor store in my area still has cases of it. I hope no one ever catches on!

    Didn't know they were going to do IPA's or anything hoppy. Thought they were the lambic, sour, saison, Belgian guys

    Ouch.

    Can't recall which BW haze I had - it was decent but nothing I'd be picking up at $20/4-pack.

    ^ this.

    Tried Dig My Earth at the LABW kick off and they had virtually no line.

    Agree with everyone here. Its quite good.

    Nice to see beers like this fly under everyone's radar, making them easy to get.

    Are all of these cans available at the brewery? Special release only? Seems like a lot of can releases from these guys. I've only had Picnic Lightning. Thought it was good. The price point on these seems like Nobles $$.

    I recall picking up a 4-pack of picnic lightning direct from the brewery for $16 - which imo is their best beer.

    Have to second this. Picked up a four pack. Would say it's definitely very good. Not great like Foggy Window (in my polite opinion) but I'd definitely buy another 4 pack.

    they are available at the brewery after they are canned then distro'd shortly after. Usually 16-18 bucks/4pack at the brewery.

    I love how easy this stuff has been to find at both Sunset Beer on release days and Cap'N'Cork in Los Feliz up to a week after distro. Dig My Earth, Picnic Lightning, and Starfish have all been really, really good so far!

    Agreed. In terms of ratio to taste to availability - nothing beats this IMHO.

    I've seen them show up at my favorite bottle shops down in San Diego. Haven't taken the plunge on any of them though yet. Good to know it is worth it.

    I thought Dig my Earth was pretty darn good. Maybe along the same line as Picnic Lightning.
