-ly buttery, unfortunately. First miss since Boysen

Not the two cans I had over the weekend. I'm overly-sensitive to diacetyl so not sure what was up with yours.

It was stronger in the first can I had a day after release, so it's possible it was can shock that's working its way out. Even the second one I had on Saturday had issues relative to the first batch, which I thought was amazing.

I'm def diggin this stuff, super crisp and clean. way too easy to drink for 8%

I didn't get any diacetyl but did find this batch to not be as good as b1 which was one of my favorite beers they've done

 

[jtmartino1]

Wrong.

Had another today, no diacetyl but damn good.

This batch tasted prettt much on par with b1. Big fan.

I'm excited for the day not to far off where we won't be referring to this as b1, b2, etc, but as this month's batch.

Curious to see how that wet hopped lager turns out. I don't think I have ever had one of those.

Hope you enjoy Precious Oils. Here's 400 of the 1000 lbs of wet hops that were involved.

Yeah, that stuff was awesome.

Not usually a fan of wet hop beers, but I'll still give Precious Oils a shot.

 

[bobsacamano1]

Precious Oils really coats your mouth. It's kinda intense.

Citraveza is wayyyy nicer than I remember it being on draft. Excellent. I wish I could always have this in my fridge.

Let me know if you come by the production site in Salinas. It's right by the 101 so you would probably be passing it on the way back to the city.

Plenty of draft at both the tasting room and pub. Fingers crossed we will be able to can on Tuesday so accounts would get it on their normal day next week. And to think coming into this week, it was 38 miles we were stressing about being ready.

I left at 4 so I'm not 100 percent sure. I would believe so as we still had a decent amount left and we had moved all of the sales to the bar as opposed to the extra table we had set up.

 

[KevSal]

for anyone interested i was there today at 530 and they still had everything, but dammit i forgot to pick up glasses!

fridges had 38, wyld stylin, spooky juice, buzz light, mai tai and first city ipa.

61k still 3pp $23 each

 

[brentsdodgers]

Checking in on the first beer I packaged with when I started back in May. Damn tasty.
