^ Kona Brewing! First had their beer on my honeymoon in HI in 2009. Have been a fan ever since. I like their Big Wave ale. Nice easy drinker.
Kona makes some good ones. So does Maui Brewing Company if you ever come across any. They have a limited distribution footprint, but they can be found.

I also had Kona for the first time in Hawaii. Back in January, 2011 I was at Waimea Bay and it was breaking 15-20. Rumor had it the Eddie might actually go off. We pulled into a local bar and I had a few pints of the Big Wave (very fitting). Hopefully I am heading back to hawaii in two years for our ten year anniversary.

just got this, gonna try some a little later tonight.
Tried the Sour Monkey last night. I didn't mind it at first but the more I drank it the more i didn't really care for it. Kinda tasted like a red bull but with 9.5% alcohol in it.

Had one of those over the weekend....very good. I think you said you live out in the western burbs....have you checked out their location yet? It's a far drive for me but may check it out one of these days. But for now my local bottle shop gets their stuff on the regular which has been a great addition.

Agreed it was very good. I do live in the western burbs and I have been to their location twice. It's nice because it's off the path from the main strip of bars and restaurants in downtown St. Charles. Nice taproom and patio. It's a bit of a haul from where you're at, but not terrible and worth the trip sometime. Like you though, I'm glad their distribution reach is growing and steady because they put out some awesome stuff.
@bbiggs biggest disappointment was I had family in Plainfield for a few years, would always run at Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve and never made it to Hop Butcher.
^ Awesome man. Bummer about HB if you were visiting Plainfield. I’m still holding STL tickets so whenever that show happens I’ll come down with some HB with your name on it. 🍻

Hit this one last night for a change of pace.

OK. Vinegary is what came to mind. Better than sour beer.

Not bad, but back to IPAs after this....
I always hated Frenchy.
