You're dirt poor in literacy.
I know someone in Belgium who ships to me.
Sierra Nevada - Ruthless Rye IPA
Purchased a variety pack of Samuel Adams IPA Hop-Ology. Very impressed!

Never seem to fail me gazercmh in impressing me with whatever your latest beer posts are.
Had one of these yesterday. Such a perfect beer!
Yeah, Pliny is always a treat. I sent six bottles to a friend in NY so she could surprise her fiance with them at their wedding last weekend. She said he thought it was the best wedding gift they received haha.
And getbetter, glad you like the posts. It's cool that there are some other beer geeks around here...

Presenting Westfield River Farmhouse Wheat.
Me gusta.
It takes a fast car, lady,
To lead a double life.
Blind Pig is my favorite Russian River beer, but it seems trendy now to call Pliny overrated. It's a good DIPA, maybe not worthy of as much praise as it gets, but certainly well above average.
i've had a 12er of Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA I've been been nursing for a bit and finished last night - i'm not sure that i had had it before, or if I had it was just a glass a a bar some time ago, but it's really good! it's extremely bold, not something i want to have pint after pint though.
I've been on a big rye IPA kick myself lately, and there's been a lot of them flowing through the L.A. bars recently. Among others I've had the Cismontane Coulter Rye IPA a couple times on draft over the past two weeks and it's delicious!

I'm not a big IPA fan, but a big can of Torpedo at the top of a mountain after a long morning on the trail was heavenly.
Went by a different spot yesterday and nothing looked good(the market I went to wasn't know for having good beers), went for Snake Dog IPA... I dig other Flying Dog brews so I thought what the hell...
Not bad at all...
Really. Of all the IPAs I've had (and I'm an IPA guy), that one would probably be right in the middle. Not a bad beer by any means, but at the end of the day, it's just an average IPA. People nut themselves every time my local beer store gets some in, and they have to impose a "2 bottles per person" rule for it, and I just don't get the hype.

Probably gonna mob up tomorrow afternoon...
This is true even here, most stores you can only get 2 bottles as each store gets a case a month... I can drive to the brewery and get a case but they also impose a case per person limit also. To each is there own and I love Pliny, I know what you mean about it being overrated but I wouldn't call it average...

I got three bottles of Postive Contact today plus a Ep from a nearby liquor store.Yet I found a place that is selling boxsets which is just six 750ml bottles plus the Ep.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
First timer here for Stone sour fest tomorrow. Anyone else going?
I'll probably take sour in the rye and filmishmish to share.
Went to Drake's on Sunday, it's always a blast...
Then afterwords hit up Beer Revolution in Oakland and go some supplication on tap...
