    Anything exciting going on in Jax? I will be visiting my parents for a week if anyone wants to meet up, I will be at Kickbacks a couple of times for sure.

    cheers

    No, there's absolutely nothing I can think of going on special. Green Room does a one-and-done experimental keg on Tuesdays, Engine 15 is doing a new one-and-done for each of the 12 Days of Christmas, but that's all that pops to mind.

    I'll also make it out to engine 15 most likely, especially if Jamie's amazing jasmine Saison is on still

    Pay attention to FB for updates. Green Room releases a few small batches during the week usually.

    I refuse to succumb to facebook.:slight_smile:

    I have liked many things from Green Room, but was highly disappointed by secret spot:slight_frown:

    Hey for their first attempt at a BA stout I thought it was pretty good. IPAs and Saisons are where they shine though. They just released another bottle named Sang De La Mer which is a blood orange saison collaboration with Bob from St. Somewhere. Oh my.

    I really liked their one-off Lavender Saison, I wouldn't mind seeing that sneak into a more permanent rotation.

    Any of the blood orange saison still around?
    Again, I am not disparaging Green Room, I have really liked their beers and the people there.
    But Secret Spot was average at best, just super thin mouthfeel, almost watered down, weak flavor, simply not good, everyone makes a bad beer from time to time.

    It hit distro too. I'm not sure who has it at the beach, but Grassroots and Beer:30 both have it.

    I usually make a stop at Grassroots when I am in riverside and stopping by Kickbacks and Intuition.
