July 29, 20179 yr Braxton Labs has a New England Pale Ale on tap now. Lower ABV, just 4.8%. I usually go for something higher but man this taste delicious. I grabbed a crowler (32 oz) tonight. May grab a Growler tomorrow. Hazy and delicious. Crushable. Well done Labs.
August 7, 20179 yr Saturday afternoon, we went to the Dunedin Brewery, touted as the oldest microbrewery in Florida. I had the Brown Ale. The pseudo-son-in-law had the Red Ale. Both were great. My daughter liked the Apricot Peach Ale. I thought it was disgusting.
August 7, 20179 yr I picked up a growler full of Great Lakes Eliott Ness Saturday. 6.1 abv and a great tasting beer.
August 8, 20179 yr While on vacation I had quite a few good Florida brews. Cigar City (Tampa) , Intuition Ale Works (Jacksonville), Ancient City Brewing and BOG (St. Augustine). I brought home four pack of Cigar City Oatmeal Raisin Cookie and a Bomber of Funky Buddha Last Snow.

It's better than the Yuengling tour. Cigar City's tour is very informative and you get to drink from the canning lines and storage barrels. The little complementary sample glass makes a great bourbon snifter, too. I love CC's Maduro.

August 11, 20179 yr Currently having my first Oktoberfest beer of 2017. Sam Adams. You can absolutely count on it to be delicious.
August 11, 20179 yr Bought a four pack of Homestyle by Bearded Iris early this week. Really enjoy that beer. Would like to try more by them.
August 16, 20179 yr My daughter is competing at a big, national horse show in a couple weeks outside of Asheville. Part of the festivities, they are having a craft beer festival. For $50, you get unlimited 4oz pours and appetizers. Here is the email I received, would it be worth it for the $50. I am not familiar with many of the craft breweries. "Western North Carolina is craft beer country, and I can’t think of a better way to spend a summer evening than watching good horses perform while enjoying a cold glass of excellent local beer. The Craft Beer Festival during Saturday Night Lights will serve UNLIMITED four-ounce pours from participating craft breweries, a heavy hors d’oeuvres buffet, and a souvenir cup from TIEC. They have a stellar line-up of local breweries from Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard and other nearby towns including: Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, French Broad Brewing Company, Pisgah Brewing Company, Oskar Blues, Bold Rock, Catawba Brewing, Asheville Brewing, Highland Brewing, Noble Cider, Hi Wire and more. Remember, these are all the ‘extras’. The competition itself is something to behold, with the country’s best Beginner Novice through Advanced horses and riders competing for the Champion title"

But I love trying new beers I've never had before, especially from breweries I've never had.
August 17, 20179 yr Braxton Labs has a new NE IPA (their 3rd) right now. They also released a West Coast IPA too. I was bummed Ei8htball closed but the silver lining is I'm getting more and more beers from Braxton that I really enjoy.
August 25, 20179 yr Headed to Dayton for the weekend for a wedding I'm in. Rehearsal dinner tonight is about a block and a half away from Warped Wing Brewery. Probably try to swing by afterwards to check it out.
September 1, 20179 yr Checked out Tap & Screw at their new Red Bank Rd location last night. Neat little place, and the pizzas they were cooking smelled delicious!
September 13, 20179 yr Gonna swing by Four Hands Brewery in St. Louis this weekend. Any other St. Louis area breweries I should try to hit up? (Other than Budweiser of course)
