    That looks good. What was the murky one you posted the other day? Yknow just in case any makes it's way cold shipped to the UK.

    Sorry
     yes I was. The quote function didn't work on my phone for some reason. We're also thinking about a trip to the US next year so if I play my cards right I might actually get to try some ka couple) of the breweries you, tempo and others rave about. Keeping my fingers crossed anyway ;)

    There is so much good beer here in the states.  Where in the us are you thinking of going?  The only place that really doesn't have good craft beer (in my experience and maybe I am wrong) is the south east and south west part of the us.

    Honestly
     we're not sure yet. We did the whole Vegas fly drive grand canyon, zion national park thing a few years ago and loved it. I'd head back to zion in a heartbeat, hands down the most beautiful place I've ever been. We've recently had some friends emigrate to quebec so we were thinking East Coast somewhere and then head to Canada for a few days. Its a big birthday for me too so I was thinking about trying to get to a couple of pearl jam shows if it turns out that they are touring. It's all very sketchy currently though, waiting on any announcements and also the clusterfuck that is brexit here at home to figure out exactly what is affordable :) if it does work out I'll be sure to ask for recommendations.

    That seems to pretty much sum it up. I did get a nice IPA in the Charlotte area a few weeks back. I think it was called Hop, Drop and Roll from Noda Brewing.

    Superflare IPA by 4 Hands Brewing. I really wish they’d brew this all year. So. Damn. Good!


    I LOVE MUSIC.

    If you need any recommendations let us know!  I'm not sure where you'll be in quebec but vermont has some amazing craft beers!

    A generous friend gave this to me yesterday. I’ve never had it and wasn’t familiar but I guess it’s an excellent barleywine. Anyone ever have it?

    South East there is Cigar Brewing, Funky Budha and I am a fan of Andygator by Abita.

    There are also small hole in the wall brewers now where ever you go so you might be in Hollywood Florida and find a brewery, I know there is one there because I drank there, lol.

    This is surprising as you don't seem like the type who drinks in too many places.  =)

    Heard awesome things about that one.  Tried to grab it when it came out but it sold out immediately.  I'm not big on the milkshake IPAs, but the original blazed orange was incredible.

    It is an awesome beer. One is enough but I really enjoyed it. I’m not sure why there was so much hype over it but the same thing happened at my Binnys. So many people showed up to grab it that they had to split the 4 packs into individual cans with a limit of 2. Strange.
