You know I was only joking, right Dave?

I know, bad joke but a well taken joke!   I am pissed off though and her name was not Lori.

Been to the Famous store and the Leaf restaurant.  store was meh, no really good deals but a pretty good selection.  People were nice, but then again, didn't meet Lori.  Leaf was pretty good.  Food and atmosphere were very nice.
heading home.  big decision is SL Oval, Hababo or a Pueblo Dominica for the ride home.  Might even consider a Black Crown.
nite all!

SL Hababo if it were me!

What are you doing with your butt? Never mind, I promised I wouldn't judge.

I'm dying to go there.  I'm hearing and reading great things about Carton.

Yes and no.  It's cool that they're willing to do different, goofy shit.  They make 3 beers that I'd drink regularly and one that I'd buy (and do buy) regularly.  Yeah, that puts them way ahead of the curve, but the curve is really low.

Howdy all. I am back. Been pretty busy at work. Well over 120 hrs each of the last two weeks. Uncle Obama will be glad. They will get a couple thousand extra in taxes. SL Hababo 3+ years. Lets see if it is still good.

I was thinking of you today.  Glad to have you back.

Carton's best is the BDG.  Expertly balanced "brown" ale.  Not the traditional brown by judging standards or anything, but yeah, the beer for about any occasion.  Really nails doing everything just right (but doesn't get the appreciation it deserves in tastings and whatnot because other stuff is hoppier or roastier).   

Carton's DIPA, 077xx is a solid DIPA.  Dank, pine/resin, citrus, not too malty.  I don't drink the style that often, but I'm not against a 4 pack.

After that, I guess Hoppun or Milk for my #3.  Both are interesting entries for the style.  APA for Hoppun, and a Cream Stout for Milk. 

But Boat?  Yeah, that's awful and unbalanced.  Not to give you a negative disposition going in, and enough people think the world of boat, but shit.  That is just a poor excuse for a hoppy beer.  Wisco was pretty blah, Canyon is a nice lager but again, nothing you can't get anywhere else.  Their witbier isn't even properly spiced, it's just a pale/wheat based ale, not really a wit. 

Some of the tippy batches or small runs are great.  SS2014 is really good.  The Saffron Chili Saison I had was interesting.  Panzanella was pretty bad.  Jetski is a low carb version of Boat.

SS2014 and 077XX are the ones I've been wanting to try.
