    I was at their tasting room last month, and got the glass - pretty fun event. Even matched some grub up with it.
    The green bullet hops and pacific gem hops make it very hoppy, somewhat sweet and super citrusy - like a good resiny, hop punch - 'Green Bullet' is a super tasty Green Flash offering, next to 'Palate Wrecker', probably my fave from their brewery...Almost like a barley wine...'Green Bullet' is a Triple IPA and 3 pints in, you realize it! Highly recommend it...

    Tonight I'm cracking open my Mother Earth Brew Co "Primordial" DIPA and having a few "Enjoy By 10.25.13" fresh from my growler fill @ 11. Rumor has it there is a very limited amount of Quingenti Millilitre 'Wagner" blends of Highway 78 Scotch Ale on sale at the store today, so its time to line up and make a donation. :D

    Nothing like great beer to look forward to! PROST!

    So you would put Palate Wrecker above it? We're supposed to be getting green bullet here in Texas soon... Thanks for the review! I would so love to fill a growler from the source!

    Yes, for 2 reasons...personally PW is my fave Green Flash offering and Green Bullet is seasonal & very strong. Is that 3?

    had my first bottle of Black Butte XXV last night... been on a real bourbon barrel aged beer kick as of late... it's been great.... i will say that the BBXXV definitely tasted "young", almost like it hasn't had enough time to blend yet... glad i have two more bottles... i will hold onto them until the "best after" date.

    I had an in-law drop in town thursday night from norway.... dropped off a pretty looking package i was quite impressed with:

    762c1f4f-1614-4284-81be-0d9b6bd1706e.jpg

    a bunch of beer from a norwegian brewery called Nogne O.... 2 x 4th edition dark horizon, 1 each of the 2nd and 3rd edition of red horizon (brewed with sake yeast) and a mikkeller beer geek breakfast stout (which I had when I was in norway and it is awesome)...

    also found me some oskar blues ten fidy at the grocery store today...

    all-in-all a good beer weekend!
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Founders Breakfast Stout made its way down here to Florida for the first time on Friday. Such a good beer. Just hoping KBS ends up here as well.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Good luck with that...

    FYI - Founders expanded into the state of Texas earlier the year... they have been supplying plenty of their regular line up, but they have not been giving the market it's fair share of the limited releases...

    They sent 4 x 1/6 barrel kegs of KBS to the entire city of Houston (7 million people). 4 fucking pony kegs!!! Literally every bar that got one had it on tap for less than an hour before it was gone... Only 30 cases of KBS made it here.... they sent 20 cases of Mango Magnifico to the entire city as well...

    apparently they want more markets, but are pretty much being dicks about their limited releases.

    According to Captivate, the blurbtastic screen on my elevator ride to the office, Dogfish is putting moon dust into its Oktoberfest.

    Great. Dusty beer.
