Speaking of old beers, found one of these in the back of the fridge.

Was pretty damned great, but curious as to how long it's been forgotten in the fridge. Been a while since I actually bought Pick Six.

Welp.

They don’t can it anymore. Since early summer I think. Golden Veiw took its place and is very underrated.

Any Eppig insiders have info on this one?? Might be worth a shot.....

That's what I figured, but wasn't entirely sure. I'm ashamed to say I haven't had Goldenview yet.

It would kind of be cool if they went the Jack's Abby route and did some crazy **** with lagers. A West Coast lagerwine? Yes please.

 

[smithj21541]

A West Coast lagerwine? Yes please.

I'm on board with that idea!!

So Stone IRS is sort of coming back in 2018.

"Special releases this year alternate bold hoppy beers with robust stouts. Stone Totalitarian Imperial Russian Stout is one such impenetrably dark beer. It features new hops built on the backbone of the classic Stone Imperial Russian Stout recipe."

Also, are 19.2 oz cans the new bombers?

Got up the arrogance factor on the name!

And yes seems like the stove pipe can is the new bomber. I'm just waiting for monkish to do one and everyone go bonkers.

Left MiraCosta around 1. It was very Smokey. At home in LaCosta now and you can see the smoke from here. Just hope no new fires start...

Just horrible conditions right now. The #TalkFire is real for SD county.

Still pricey but now a bit more confident since some missing information has been filled in. I like the zip up hoodie and would opt for that over a work shirt.

I ran over approximately five hundred thousand palm fronds while going out for lunch today

3 of them fell from our tree in the front yard. =(

You can likely have mine if the better half doesn't steal it away.

Can't wait for the commute from hell after work today. Also my sinuses have been killing me the last three days.

A eucalyptus branch fell on my windshield this morning. Very lucky it was a small one.

Can't wait for the commute from hell after work today. Also my sinuses have been killing me the last three days.

Yeah I can't tell if I'm legit sick or if it's the ridiculously low humidity.

I'm actually a little concerned. I went ahead and packed the car with some essentials.

5north is a parking lot!

I got sick after Thanksgiving giving and thanks to the weather haven't been able to shake it. I'm not usually affected by this but been killer lately.

Hey now...maybe 5th. I have a couple meetings in the morning I have to be on first.

But yes, I am going to die a little inside after dropping that kind of cash for what I receive in return.
