    Excellent. When I saw you drinking a Lagunitas the other night I had to go grab their Hop Stoopid.

    I think I'm the one who mentioned Bonyard's RPM IPA. I love the stuff. I first tried it at the brewery in Bend. For a long time I could only get it by the pint at a couple of places locally, but my Total Wine & More started carrying it in their grower fill area, so now I just stop on my way home from work for growlers of the stuff. It is definitely one of my go-to's. I'd love to see it bottled as well.

    Last summer I went by their brewery. Seems their brewpub has shut down. Pretty easy to get some growlers filled around here.

    New Bissell Bros yesterday, Industry VS Inferiority. Real good. A lot like Substance, but with more of a fruity taste. One of their better offers.

    Their brewpub got put on delay. Last thing they said was this spring, so I'd say June probably. It's kind of odd that they haven't started bottling yet, but they seem to do things their own way at their own pace. I'm on the Boneyard cycling team and they hook us up with free beer at races and gatherings. Speaking of Bend beer, I'm having a Crux half-hitch as I type. If you get to their tap room, I recommend a fill of incredible pulp IPA.

    Nice!! Another bottle shop near us in Raleigh Hills just called me back & they're holding a 12pk for me! Had the first one tonight & it was great. Also has Epic's Sour IPA which was surprisingly good. (Not a Sour fan)
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Haha yeah it was a good night. Nice part about that place it was pour your own beer so I only poured 5-6 oz. of each beer so I could try a bunch of different ones. It was great.

    Doesn't that app tell you to slow down. I haven't used it in a couple of years but I remember trying to back log some beers and it would warn me I'm drinking too fast.

    I'm old school and a bit of a hoarder. I save the empty from each new one I try. Over 600 in the collection now.

    There was a time not too long ago when I would walk into a beer shop and say "what's new"?

    Now I walk in and every week there is new beer after new beer... So if I saved a can or bottle from everything new I'd need my own museum...

    Did they charge you by the oz since it was based on a declining balance?

    They sold out to AB Inbev so I don't go there anymore. I miss the outdoor seating area.

    Yes and yes
    AB Inbev is a Belgian company.
    In the last 6 years they have bought up at least 8 well known craft breweries. Including Goose Island, Elysian, and Devils Backbone.
    They are no longer considered "craft breweries" by the Brewers Association.

    Goose Island March 2011
    Blue Point Brewing Feb. 2014
    10 Barrel Brewing Nov. 2014
    Elysian Brewing Jan. 2015
    Golden Road Brewing Sept. 2015
    Breckenridge Brewing Dec. 2015
    Four Peaks Brewing Dec. 2015
    Devil’s Backbone Brewing April 2016

    A clue to look for is a previously unknown brewery from far away suddenly showing up in all your beer stores and and on bar/restaurant taplines.
    Such as Lagunitas suddenly being everywhere.
    That's because they are 50% owned by Heineken.
