We Made It To Folding Chair Season!

We are half way through this shit year so it’s time to check on any beer trends happening around here:

• Less. I have drank a lot less this year. Budget reasons and to see what not drinking is like - to sum it up: It’s boring.

• West Coasting. Store or taproom, I am looking for West Coast IPAs first, every time. Ahead of Pales and ahead of Hazzies - truth is there aren’t many Pales to see except…

• XPA: There is at least one Pale out there and it’s Firestone Walker’s XPA. Definitely the beer I have had the most this year.

• Mountain Lager. Tioga Sequoia’s Mountain (Amber) Lager is the only other interesting new beer around here lately. While it may not be my favorite style, I like the beer, how easy to drink it is, and how it is claiming a genre, “Mountain Lager”, given we are at the base of the Central Sierra Nevada Mountains.

• Favorite So Far: No surprise it’s Russian River’s Pliny For President. Not always easy to get but they have a fresh batch out this week!

For readers in The States, find a good folding chair and have a great American Lager Day on Thursday. Thanks for the read and we’ll talk later.
