Don't sit so close to the TV you'll ruin your eyesight!!!

Beers have vintages now?

Well, those that age well do. Those that age badly shouldn't!

Of course they do!

Batch 300 Trippel from The Bruery: I haven't had this beer from them yet, and I'm excited. Super nice guys, great beer. I've never been disappointed.

Oude Geuze from Fonteínen: Like a lambic without the fruit, geuze makes the corners of my mouth tingle just thinking about it.

Conflux Series No. 2 from Deschuttes: Another exciting pick. This is from a series of collaborations they are doing. This is a "white IPA" they made with Boulevard Brewing. Only 50 cases are available in California. One of our shops in town got four.

La Folie from New Belgium: Ok, New Belgium is most known for Fat Tire, a perfectly serviceable amber ale that is (I think) pretty overrated and inconsistent. Their other beers are the same. Decent, but not wonderful. EXCEPT! Their sours. This is the only one we've had from their sour series, but folks say they are all this good. An amazing beer. Just spectacular. If you fancy yourself a beer nerd and like sours, go find this bottle.

A gift of thanks from my local barista.
