    I’m sorry. But I’m tired of Hazy beer. Good, bad, average, whatever. I miss 2013 and I want a damn West Coast IPA! With PtY in season, it just made me want one more. So can we please have a West Coast IPA only thread? I know that I would love it. Cheers.

    I would like to add that I am sipping on my very first El Segundo Mayberry right now and it is cracking like a firework on the Fourth of July.

    I’m in! West Coast is the Best Coast!

    I’m looking at you Fieldwork, Humble Sea, Monkish, Green Cheek and Offshoot!

    Especially Green Cheek! Evan made his money at Noble brewing solid Westy’s, now GC is flooded with the same Hazy’s!

    Hey now....I’ve got 3 different cans inside my fridge from Green Cheek that’s west coast. All great.

    Picked up a fresh 4pk of Mayberry cans from Windsor the other day. Clear AF coming out in cans this week. Another great west coast offering from ESBC. Also picked up a couple of 4pks of Yaba Dab’ll Do Ya cans from my recent SFO/STS trip. YDDY was a collab with RiiP’s Ian McCall and Cooperage Brewing’s Tyler Smith. Nothing wrong with the hazy’s. Just west is still the best.

    Green Cheek consistently puts out solid West Coast IPAs. Many of them canned. In fact, they had 3 different WCIPAs on tap just last night.

    In my fridge right now: fresh cans of Pupil, a 4pack of Mayberry cans (great batch), another 4pack of Simcoast and the latest release from PP Sidewalk Surfin - think the Swami's on steroids. Don't think I will need any hazy anytime soon.

    Want to show a little love to LBC IPA from Beachwood. Doesn't get the same attention as Amalgamator but it's damn good and love the six pack format.

    Gotta love Pizza Port, walked into Norcal Trader Joe's yesterday...found 8 day old cans of Swami's...made my day. I wish some other West Coast folks could mirror Pizza Port's production/distro patterns as I seem FAR more reliably to find their stuff on shelves fresh, at least Swami's that is.

    Exactly the same mix in my fridge, add in Surfari (excellent) from Pizzaport and Treevana from Burgeon.

    LBC IPA is one damn fine beer. A great value as well.

    Cheers,

    Funny, I just ran out of both! Surfari is one of the best PP releases imo.

    El Segundo puts a premium on freshness and it really shows in the trade...nice to see it is publicly appreciated.

    Broken Skull is my SHIT. I stopped drinking hazy ipas about 9 months ago and only order west coast hops around town (unless its cellarmakers hybrids). El Segundo used to distro to the South Bay a couple years ago but I believe they pulled out as I cant find their stuff anywhere anymore. Only SouthGate liquors gets in cans every once in a while. El Segundo is a top 5 brewery for me in Ca.

    Wish they'd send some Pupil up to the East Bay.

    I don't understand why Green Cheek's WC fare is not as good as old Noble stuff.
