Good to briefly run into you. We were wrapping up a long session when we saw you so my apologies if I seemed abrupt...had to move on to grab some ramen and more ales.

Anvil and Stave should be off limits to children and party buses.

I am pretty sure it is off limits to children. Party busses in general should be banned. Does anyone like them? Why don't they just go on bar crawls and leave breweries for people that can handle their alcohol.

Never been too intoxicated at BL if that's what you're getting at. In fact I have never been kicked out of anywhere for being too drunk, just banned from a couple breweries for having a strong opinion. *shrug*

Anyone have any reports on Devil's Triangle?

I really liked it. Only cracked one can of it so far but it was similar to batch one. I got a much more pronounced rye spice/bite to it than the last go 'round. Not sure if that's because I had it the day it was canned and it'll settle a bit or if that's just going to be the way this current batch drinks. Not a bad thing at all, IMO, just a 'difference'.

I really liked a few other things Mikkeller had on at their anniversary from the inside tap list. Roy vs the Volcano, Tree Blood...mmmmmmm...

I sorta unintentionally started an archive from select past hazy ipa releases around town for science to see what they taste like a with a little time on them because New England Barleywine Is Life.

There is no way those Lazy IPAs will become Barleywines.

Probably more like:

Milk stout was on the roasty side and my least favorite.

I wanna try it just cause Mario Kart feels.

Just came back from my MSP > Chicago trip, and the thought of drinking any alcohol at all is making my queasy.

Just to tack on to the general sentiment. Made the rounds while picking up RBAVSS. Of newer breweries, I visited Burgeon, Burning Beard (Do people really live in El Cajon?), and Resident. Friend and I thought Burgeon was the best. Stone collab (Universal something) was probably the best hops. Mouthfeel so smooth. Also enjoyed the grisette. Wasn't crazy about the saison, but can't win em all.

Pretty enormous city. Depending on which of its 3 zip codes, from ghetto to 4 million dollar mansions.

Anything anywhere near SDSU or south of the 8 sucks!

Just read that. Another NP brewery.

Hope it works out for Bill, he's got the literal chops for it.

Indeed. But more brewpubs are a good thing in my opinion.

You just shitcanned 30th street and Alpine.

Doh, memory is already fading.

I think it's a great spot to open. You basically have a massive spanse of residential west of Texas, South of Adams, and East of Park. All they really have within walking distance is Small and Livewire, which are fantastic but there are zero brewpubs.

Equally smart move to not try to open anything in PB. I'm sure they can feed their bar down there a la Amplified. They almost already have a satellite in place and now they're opening a brewery. Semi related....has anyone ever actually visited Barn Brewery?
