Anyone drink anything good lately?

Yes

Hit two brew houses in Charlotte last weekend ......... remembering what I had is a problem (due to pregame festivities).

Having my first Lake Erie Monster for this year in a couple of hours.

A lot of local breweries announced they have eliminated all restrictions so we're going to have a little brewery tour this weekend to make up for a year of lost time.

Been on a Espolòn Blanco kick lately...usually on the rocks with a lime slice.

Struggling to find some good Hazy IPAs in Dallas. So far Spindletap outta Houston has some great beers but are hard to find and I had a good one from Deep Ellum but that’s about it. 

Had Supreme Allied Commander from R. Shea yesterday.  Might be the smoothest 15.8% Imperial Stout ever.  It's a chocolate covered, salted caramel triple oatmeal pastry stout.  R. Shea does not make a bad beer.

I don’t drink much cider/shandy but I tried Rhinegeist’s Zango the other night and it’s pretty good. Looks like they released a honey cider I’m looking for.

As for tonight, picked up Fretboard’s new honey lager and Sonder’s Certified Heater which is a double dry hopped double NE IPA.

Picked up a variety 12 pack of Great Lakes for the Father’s Day weekend:

Dortmund Gold

Elliot Ness

Edmund Fitzgerald

Commodore Perry

Sonder’s Blue Ice Cream ale. Amazing. Downed several of these. 

Sounder puts out some solid vrews

That ice cream ale is something I would like to try. 

Spent the weekend in Lexington with a college buddy and had a little too much fun. Don't remember all I drank, but I'm still paying for it this morning.

Oxbow Brewing Co (Maine) - Northern Lager ..........very good

New Holland Brewing (Michigan) - Hazy River IPA New England style ......another good one (on a humid Father's Day). 

At a brewery in Orlando called Rockpit Brewing. They have a kviek pale ale that is about the best beer I’ve had in a while.
