Oskar Blues' new IPA is pretty darn delicious. Look for it in a blue can, it's called simply Oskar Blues IPA.

Oddly, though, it's slightly lower alcohol than Dale's Pale Ale.

I have a tallboy can of Heady Topper and Focal Banger in my fridge, pretty psyched.

Yards Love Stout

All of it

Yards has some sour beer they pushed everywhere around Philly called Pynk, its terrible, don't try it.

Tried the Ballast Point "Calm before the Storm" last week. It was pretty good; really messed with my mind to be drinking a blond cream ale with such a strong coffee flavor though. I had a small pour which was enough; not sure I'd want more than about 10 ounces in a sitting.

Had this little gem last week. Recommend.

Upslope is tasty (nothing fancy but I love their business model). Definitely hit up Avery's new spot. Mountain Sun is good. Wild Woods is tasty.

 

[deacphan]

Drinking an upslope as we speak.

nooooooo

that's too bad. i mean, i guess it's good for them or something... i just wish there was a way for some of these larger craft brewers to grow without seemingly selling out.

It's so hard to scale up and retain quality. I get wanting to expand from a domestic to an international brand, but you just hope it means the quality of their products doesn't suffer.

exactly. we've seen the same thing happening with 10 Barrel (bend) and Elysian (seattle); so far the quality seems to be ok, but it dilutes the brand if nothing else. I'm sure their sales have picked up drastically over multiple markets, but I've talked to the beer stewards in a few of the smaller grocers around here and they've all said that sales for both of those have dropped a lot.

 

[DeaconBrews]

I'm obviously thrilled with the news... If we can get it.

There's a price to pay when you want to sit at the big boy table.
