Ballast point sculpen grapefruit ipa is the shiz.

If anyone is a fan of either of these you better stock up. Stone Levitation Amber Ale and Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA discontinued....

Boo! Love the self-righteous.

The Highlands Saison is really good.

Never had it, but I can't think of a Highland brew that I've disagreed with. I'll put it on my list for sure.

Thunderstruck Coffee Porter is quite tasty.

I like that one too. Picked up a bottle the other night. I may try to grab a couple more and work on a clone recipe.

Toured the Wicked Weed Funkatorium...it's all good...really. All good.

Also toured the new Sierra Nevada brewery. Just an amazing place.

If I could only go to one place in Asheville, it's Wicked Weed and I would never complain that I couldn't go any where else.

The Funkatorium was very cool. Great thing is the fact there are plenty within walking distance. Burial was very cool also.

But Sierra Nevada...holy cow. The money in that place...

Any of you know where to find the Stone Green Tea IPA? I've been looking for that one, but can't find it. I tried the beer locator from Stone, but didn't turn up anything close, but I've never found those very accurate.

I think it is in Nashville area. I'm pretty sure I saw it at Red Dog in Franklin.

Sweet. I was going to try driving up there and checking tomorrow. Thanks!

Must try this. I love Ballast Sculpen. Have a 12 pack of the hopped lager by Sierra Nevada right now. I can't get enough of this stuff. Flavorful and easy drinking. Oh yeah, and 7%.

It'd probably be hard to find now, but if you can track down the Electric Ray from their Summer Beer Camp this past year, it was pretty good. It was an India Pale Lager too. I think the Hoppy Lager is supposed to be similar to it. The Electric Ray was 8-8.5% I think.

And for the tie-in with Ballast Point, Sierra Nevada joined up with them for the Electric Ray.

If I can find it, I will imbibe.

I'll be there in two weeks. Definitely plan on making a stop.

Had an interesting double brown ale at Brixx...Foothills Hoppy Medium. Great higher-grav mix of nutty/coffee flavor and the bitterness of an IPA.

Picked up some Fat Head Head Hunter IPA tonight. Love this stuff. I am such a sucker for floral hops.

Ever get to Memphis visit Wiseacre brewery on broad.. Had a fantastic beer it's a coffee stout.. Get up to get down.. Got a growler and I thought it was great..

 

[xJesusx56]

Went to Red Dog in Franklin earlier. Got some good stuff.

Stone Green Tea IPA
New Belgium Le Terroir
Bridgeport Hop Czar
Einstock Pale Ale (never tried,their white ale is great)
Sierra Nevada Hoppy Lager
Delirium Red


Been wanting to try the Green Tea IPA, it's had me intrigued. Le Terroir is one of my go-to drinks lately, really enjoy that one.

Only one I've had is Sierra Nevada Hoppy Lager. I'm a fan. Would love to try the rest.

Having a Stone Delicious after class. Looking at EKGs all morning made me want a beer.

The Erie Skippers Stout is probably one of the smoothest stouts I've ever tried. Not bad at all.
