Currently drinking one of these. I'm enjoying the overall flavor and digging the coffee notes at the end but I'm not sure I want more than 1 or 2 of these guys in a night.

The Habanero Sculpin is no joke.
So I've run into the problem from homebrewing with the roommate. Anything in a batch larger then 5 gallons is just too macro for our liking.
In all seriousness, homebrewing is fantastic. We buy kits from www.northernbrewer.com when they have sales. We just picked up 6 different IPA kits for 20$ a piece. After yeast and water (and i guess a bit of propane) it comes to 30$ per 5 gallons.
I will say fuck bottling. We have a keg and I will not do it any other way. It takes 2-3 days to gas, versus 2-3 weeks, no bottles to deal with, no popped bottle caps.

I went to Free State Brewing Co last Sunday in Lawrence, KS. Time was limited (had to drive home to St. Louis area) so I only tried the Ad Astra and the Oatmeal Stout. I was relatively pleased but I had them in draught form so I don't know how well that translates into bottles. Anyone drink the Free State bottled beverages???

No. I have Decoherence though from El Cat round 3 which is better in my opinion.

I just got back from SD for a 2 week business trip and we went to Ballast Point + Stone in Escondido. Both were amazing. The food at both was amazing too. Just great places.
I think I'll probably be hitting up Coronado Brewing this week as I gotta fly back out to San Diego tomorrow. I will definitly be eating at Stone but probably the Liberty Station location. Their draft list is so good I see no reason to really visit other breweries.

stone is great. there's a fill station in Pasadena, CA where they truck up kegs of limited batches for growler fills and tastings. I get there as often as I can.
in the meantime, i'm having some of this and loving it:
I just got into Victory's Golden Monkey. It's a Belgian Triple at 9.5%... Tastes pretty damn good while remaining smooth and gets ya drunk.
Anderson has like 4-5 different gose's. That's probably my least favorite sadly. Seek out the others, much better.

Is probably the best sour i've had < $30 by far. Sadly good luck finding it now. I drank a good chunk of the chicago allotment myself.

Opened this up today: bruery terreux quadrupel tonnellerie
Enjoyed it quite a bit. Nice fruity tartness, didn't come across as too sweet either.

I don't like the flavor of grapefruit in general so I was a little unsure about this one but I've enjoyed everything that I've tried from Wicked Weed and I like goses so I gave it a whirl. It didn't disappoint. The grapefruit is very subdued and the flavor wasn't as salty as any other gose I've had. It could almost pass as a sour. Very well balanced.
