I'll probably head to a local watering hole after work to watch the NY Rangers game 7 with the Caps. If I'm lucky they will have some good locals, my recent favs around the bay are Fort Point Brewing and Cellarmaker, both in SF, and Faction Brewing in Alameda. A new brewery called Fieldwork opened recently in Berkeley and after 2 visits I think they have a lot of potential.

For refrigerator staples I've got some Anchor IPA and Steam and a 12 pack of Sierra Nooner Pils in cans (nice and crisp).

I just got home from the 14 hour drive from Brevard back to Miami. Opened the fridge and had a Brevard brewed Oskar Blues Old Chub sitting there. I had no choice but to crack it open.

I always forget Oskar Blues makes Old Chub. That stuff's boss. My pals and I have had some unexpected nice times the past few years, thanks to our mate who has consistently kept some Old Chub socked away in our school's lounge on Duke's campus. Come to think of it, his next one's on me ...

Just cracked open a Pinner, and a Bell's Amber awaits.

I've been really enjoying Saison style beers as they kinda taste Belgian without getting me super drunk.

Me too. Except they still get me super drunk. Any recent favorites? I've been rotating between Great Divide Colette, Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale, and Ommegang Hennepin.

Well yeah, Hennepin will wreck you for sure! I remember when that stuff was $4.50 a bottle.. A bit stronger than the beers I was thinking of. I had a really tasty one on my birthday at a restaurant but I forgot what it was. This stuff from Fort George is pretty tasty but it may not be available where you are?

In Florida, I would stick with cigar city and funky Buddha. They are making some tasty beer right now.

Sixpoint Brewery in NY makes an IPA called Hi-Res. It's freakin' fantastic but don't drink very much of it. It's 10.5% to 11% ABV and it will sneak up on you.

For sure. Cigar City is a regular choice at home and I'm at Funky Buddha somewhat regularly.

Funky Buddha had an awesome saison recently made with champagne yeast. It was a great beer.

Super local today: Begyle IPA which is brewed less than a mile from my house. It's good but not great. I would rather walk the extra mile to Half Acre and drink anything they have going on there. But the Begyle was hand delivered to my porch by my brother who lives around the corner, so I won't complain too much.

Also today: Three Floyds session ale, Bells Two Hearted, and a Ballast pt Sculpin.

This is my go-to IPA. BRIDGEPORT - Hop Czar

Here is vsalonista NFazzio enjoying a beer at Bowigen's Brew pub last night. It's cool having a quality place to drink a locally brewed beer. I think we'll be making this a regular Fri or Sat night occurrence.
