sumpin wild is gooooood. Any of you guys try 21st amenment hop crisis? It's a double IPA aged on oak chips.  we are about to tap some kegs of bells oarsman.

21st Amendments Back in Black is my current favorite beer!  I'll have to keep an eye out for the hop crises.

I like their Hell or High Watermelon, it's refreshing on a warm day before or after a ball game (21st A is a couple blocks from the Giants' stadium), chillin at the outdoor tables, & they serve it with a slice of watermelon...

I also came around to this beer ( hell or high watermelon) after proclaiming it was terrible last year. Its great after sweating your ass off mowing the lawn.   It also got me more into fruit beers.
In the meantime, im off to work to tap our keg of Ommegang Aphrodite!

THE BEAST!!! I'm having a ressurection from brewers art.  We cannot get this beer in richmond and a customer of mine bought me a case today!

Ooh... 

Avery makes some gooooooood stuff.

A friend of mine introduced me to The Reverend (a Belgian quad) last weekend.

So... good...

No idea how I missed this thread.

Liquor store opened down the street that has microbrews, which is nice cause I don't have to drive accross town now.

Bought a bottle of 15th anniversary Stone IIBA. holy shit. I need to clone it. It was fantastic.

And I really don't like 21st amendment beers. I've only had their black ipa and their live free or die ipa. I don't remember what I didn't like about it, I had one of each then passed them out to friends....

Thinking of getting with my buddy this weekend and whipping up 10 gallons of Drakes IPA.....mmmmmm sooo good.

[PhoenixS4R]

Oh, since I noticed some of you were from the bay area..... if you wanna get just wasted go to Buddys bites and brews in hayward. Order a Drakes Denogginzer... Perfectly balance IIPA with a wonderful aroma. Not better at all, not sweet at all. Goes down like water, and at 9-10% abv, will drop you QUICK.

Food is fantastic too, avoid thursdays though, drunk karyokee. I have no idea how to spell that word, sorry for the butchering, lol.

Had my fall party this past weekend, where everyone dumps a six or two into a giant cooler and randomly selects. Too many good ones to count. I still have a headache.....

One that I recall (somewhat) clearly was Lucky Bucket Certified Evil.....

[PhoenixS4R]

Tried some Pliny the elder last night. It was god, overhyped a bit but a great beer. Got a Life and Limb sitting in the fridge for tonight.
