    I love Union Jack. It's my favorite IPA. But I think Sucaba is the best I've had by them. Yet to have tried Parabola. One of these days!

    That barrel aged Velvet Merkin was awesome. The regular version is also very good. I wish it weren't a seasonal.

    Yes. All.

    Well, I tried 805 and was very, very not impressed. Pivo Pils was okay, but I'm not into the style. Don't know if I ever had Solace or not. But all their other beers need to get into my mouth as often as possible.

    Specials shout outs to Union Jack, Parabola, Abacus (calling it by the proper old school name), Velvet Merkin, Opal, Li'l Opal, Stickee Monkee, Helldorado, all the Anniversary series but especially XII, Bravo, DBA, DDBA, Good Foot, Reginald Brett, Rufus, Sour Opal, Saucerful of Merkin and Walker's Reserve Porter.

    Their anniversary beers are phenomenal. Sucaba second. Sour Opal is killer. Wookey Jack and Pale 31 for the hop centric. Firestone Walker is one of the top 3 breweries in the US hands down.

    11th Anniversary (fresh of course) closely followed by Parabola and then Abacus.

    Parabola is awesome - I put it near BCBCS (which is kind of funny since it isn't a coffee barrel-aged, but the roasty notes are something else). Double Jack is also top notch for a DIPA if you like yours more citrusy. Got a bottle of Sucaba in the cellar, looking forward to it. Wookey Jack didn't do it for me - my go-to for Black IPA is Uinta's Dubhe...

    So far? Wookey Jack, Double Jack a close second and DDBA a close third.
    Never been able to find Parabola or Sucaba, hopefully this year...

    Fresh Union Jack? Or Parabola.

    I wish I could give an accurate answer but a month old (at best) Union or Double Jack isn't accurate. Also haven't cracked my Sucaba and never even seen Parabola.

    So, no comment.
