This might be the greatest beer I have ever had. 

their packaging is nothing to write home about.

The only beer you need in life is Yuengling

I got a little adventurous with this one on the recommendation of the beer guy at my liquor store. It’s actually really tasty. Just one though. It’s by Hop Butcher for any Chicago natives. He called it a “milkshake” and said it was so popular he had to keep it in the back. The pineapple and coconut flavor is a little overwhelming, but overall it’s worth a try.

Can't go wrong with Hop Butcher.  I actually got a 4 pack of Craniac...the other beer they released this past week.  Will be having one of those later.  I started following Hop Butcher on twitter....they tweet out where they are making their deliveries in real time.  Helpful since their stuff is so hard to find and only lasts a day or 2 at liquor stores.

I'm still on the fence about these "milkshake" IPAs...I've had a few that I've really liked but some of them are just too sweet for me.  I think it's hard to find that balance between hoppy and sweet.

I grabbed some Craniac as well. Looking forward to trying it. Agreed on the milkshake IPAs. This is my first time trying one. Good but too sweet. Probably won’t buy it again but worth the try.

Big fan of Tired Hands so when I saw a Tired Hands and Jolly Pumpkin collaboration on an alternative Alien Church last night, I had to give it a go. Bad move. They made it into a sour IPA. Fucking garbage.

Any of you guys enjoy the sours? That is where I draw the line. I hate how they'v become pretty popular over the last few years. 

I've really tried, but I strongly dislike sours. Choked one down last week after I thought I'd give them another try, yuck.

These guys make good beer.  Lunch being one of their best.
