Still rummaging through San Diego brews, today’s chugger is Societe Brewing and their Surefire Bullseye West Coast IPA. We tried their yummy Oktoberfest last month, this time a tasty IPA from Society.

Before getting into the beer, I have to say, Society gets the First Place Award for the worst can graphics. Looks like a 5-student, 7th grade class project with a grade of C-. Why put such a great beer in such an amateurish can? Hello? …. Marketing??? Maybe it was an employee design for a free hamburger and fries, dunno. Take this stuff serious folks, it has your name on it.

Getting back the beer, we have here a fantastic West Coaster, I’m picking up my favorite IPA citrus and pine flavors, the head is impressive and the lacing is absolutely incredible., At 7.1% ABV, medium carbonation, I’m picking up a gentle warming from the alcohol, this is a great IPA! Lose the can.

Stopped by Amorys Tomb for their V anniversary bier garden. Cask was too angry to wait until tapped. Nice raw New England evening

Sawdust City’s Jucin’ NEIPA while in Toronto Canada.
Untappd’s description:
This hazy, hop-forward IPA showcases the softer side of hops, embracing all their juiciest characteristics while lessening their bitterness. Oats soften and smooth the mouthfeel, and we’re using a unique yeast strain that further emphasizes the fruity flavour. The result is a beer that is glowing, hazy, and as succulent as fresh peaches!
 
Getting ready for the tgiving onslaught. Seriously, not really an onslaught. Just 7 of us, total. MIL here, and my brother & wife driving up from Milwaukee today. Nephew & wife live in town and they're coming over tomorrow.

Have a 16lb bird thawing in the fridge. Spent the morning baking bread--a boule of crusty white bread, one caraway pumpernickel. Yeah, I had to sample each, for quality control.

Made a quick batch of sloppy joes for dinner tonight. Browned ground beef, half and half ketchup and Ken Davis BBQ sauce. A dash of salt and onion powder. Keeping it simple.

Starting happy hour early. A glass of the new HB best bitter. Not the right glassware, but want to gather the aroma. These go down way too easily. By the time I finish this post, I'll be pouring another. :D
