Got a
Boulevard Imperial (Tart Cherry) Stout, which, though not my speed, I found to be surprisingly refreshing; just finishing the last bottle of
Alpine Hoppy Birthday, obviously brewed/bottled by
Green Flash (Alpine Label, embossed Green Flash bottle, happily scored five bottles last week from
one of my favored suppliers); still remaining to be consumed, I have a
SNBC Fourth of Five Northern Hemisphere Harvest Wet Hop IPA, which is very good, and a single bomber of
Apocalypse IPA from 10 Barrel (never tried it). After a few semi-dry weeks-- I was diversifying into wine for a spell-- I'm back to beer.
For you adventurers, the Hoppy Birthday is just so tasty. If I had a keg on tap, I'd drink it incessantly. But that cherry stout, which I got at Costco, was quite pleasant. If one Costco stocked it, what are the chances others would? I think quite good.
