Julius, Green, Haze, and Single Shot. I'm not a huge stout guy, so I haven't had a Single Shot, yet. Supposed to be really good.

Everything else is excellent, as always.

Nice! Did they have any of the barrel aged versions available? I like that brewery a lot.

No, just the regular version. Had that, their regular Old No. 38 stout (which was awesome), and their Blue Star wheat beer - normally I don't like wheats, but this one is great.

West coast powerhouse Stone Brewing is opening up an east coast location in Virginia, so I tried their first attempt, a "Virginia Prototype" of the "Enjoy By" series (my all time fav beer). They pulled it off pretty well.

cool, I wondered how that was. They are right there on the east bank of the James River in Richmond south of Shockoe Slip.

Just bought some of these over the weekend. Not bad but was more like cider. V must know about this brewery.

Seriously. When did my wife start posting in the beer thread about watermelon this and pineapple that.

Hey, if Ballast Point puts out a beer, and you don't try it, jokes on you.

So I picked up Grapefruit Sculpin for a party last night and it was the most overrated swill I've ever tasted. I almost don't even want to try Pliny now because of it. Hype. Letdown.

I want my $15 back.

I accept personal checks and you can mail it to your mom's house cuz that's where I'll be.

Your first mistake was thinking anything grapefruit would taste good

Yah but that's heady topper

I'm having a new offering from our local brewery

It's a hoppy red. At first I thought it was too hoppy but it's getting better as it warms up.

What kinds of beers do you like Bammer? I like Sculpin but I've never tried the grapefruit.

I'm officially over IPA's at this point.

Really enjoying the winter seasonals here while it's cold out. Had one called 10* Below that was really good.

Year round, can't go wrong with a Pale Ale. Tops on that list would be Manny's (local) and Sierra Nevada.

I've been IPA'd out for about a year now. I still have a few go-to's but don't seek out new ones to try anymore.

Anyone talk about this? I got a six pack this week. It's pretty outstanding.
