They also just released a Pineapple Sculpin. I still prefer the Grapefruit.

I'll have to give that a try if it makes its way to Texas.

pliny the younger on tap in the these parts if you can find it.

i haven't had any this year, but using the app Taplist i was able to snag some last year.

I visited the new Legends Brewery last month.

Beer is good, and the owner is really nice.

Worth checking out

That makes 12 breweries now within the roughly 30 square mile area of Fullerton/Anaheim/Orange.

I was in that neck of the woods last Saturday, and stopped at RR after their 2-week session ended on Friday.  Standing in line, I hear the bouncer guy saying they still had 4.5 kegs left over and they were still serving it. I was stoked to say the least.  Stood in line for 35 mins. instead of the normal 3-6 hours (not like I would have, I love beer but come on).

 

It was fantastic, and I had too many.  Yes the 3 beer limit was in place but the bartender was hooking me up.

It is ridiculous to wait in line for hours for an eight ounce glass of pliny, which 99.999% of beer drinkers wouldn't be able to differentiate from a good Stone IPA.

Speaking of beers north of us, I spent the weekend drinking Rainier. It was born in the mountains and made from Yakima Valley hops. Fantastic.

Do you ever have to work?

I believe cals works 20 hours/wk and gets 3 months vacation a year.

FYI, any Pliny the Younger fans; the Tustin Brewing Co. will be selling tickets tomorrow. UCI just did for the pub on campus today.

I've been on a Chainbreaker IPA kick lately

Not too many paramedic runs lately.

Dude you're gonna piss of some pretentious Nocallers saying shit like that.

Went to the pub at UCI last night and was able to get a ticket. There was no line so it was worth it to me. It's a very good beer but there are beers that are nearly as good and widely available.

I was weaned on Rainier beer...it's a fond memory.

Just curious, but what would those beers be?

I love cold Rainier or Olympia beer when floating down the river. 

 

One of my all-time favorite commercials btw...

It's not really a fair comparison because I'm not a huge fan of triple IPAs. I feel like they have an underlying sweetness that comes across as chalky tasting like those Valentine's day hearts.

I mostly stuck to pale ales, IPAs, and DIPAs. My favorite right now is the Enjoy By series from Stone. That one varies from batch to batch but only varies from very good to great. Although, I think Younger varies from year to year as well.

I am also really enjoying El Segundo's Hammerland DIPA at the moment.

I'm finally breaking out the homebewing kit i bought last summer.

who here does home brewing?

I'm sure i'll have questions as i proceed to f*ck it up.

Didn't pick up any chalky taste from it, just big and well balanced, to me anyways.

 

Yeah, I too like the Enjoy By series. Really liked their 4/20 release last year, had that "dankness" taste to it you don't often see.  The closest I've had to Younger, other than Elder, is Sculpin, because of the heavy citrus and piney notes. 

 

I'll have to look for Hammerland and give it a go sometime.
