Morning, all. Daughter was sick yesterday, stayed home with her in the morning, busy when I got to work in the afternoon.

Well that sucks, morning Joe

Not sick enough to be TRULY miserable, which is good.  Morning, Scott.  Made a trip out to Alpine Beer Company over the weekend and picked up a few of their IPAs.  Hopefully the rest of the country will start seeing their stuff soon now that Green Flash owns them.

I feel like I've seen Alpine here, I like Green Flash IPA though. Just found some more VaS 6-packs on Monday less than 10 minutes from work so I'm pumped about that

Alpine barely distributes in San Diego, but from what I've gathered, retailers often 'trade' under the table to sell things they'd otherwise be unable to find.  I would grab any of the IPAs if you see them - Duet, Pure Hoppiness, and my favorite, Nelson.  Great stuff.  Super cheap out here if you go direct to the brewery, only $5-$6 for the 22oz bottles.

So you're calling me a liar then?    The name just seems familiar

LOL, yes, I'm basically calling you a liar.  But it's not Tuesday and I don't know THAT much about beer/distribution so I suppose there's a chance.

Much like your wife and son, it's going to take me awhile to get over this

The truth hurts.  If you see Alpine, try it.  I'm a fan of their IPAs.  Their other stuff is OK, but I rarely bother with them.

I tried another ST Creme' Brulee last weekend, it was the only ST available and I hadn't had it in about a year. It was so sweet I barely got through the whole thing

Have you tried the latest Beer Camp 2015?

Does anybody else watch the show, The Following?

Agreed on that one.  I don't understand how people like those absurdly sweet beers.  To each their own but damn, those are hard to power through.

Hope she's better now.  Hate it when the kids are sick.  Hi Joe.

Thanks. She's like me and gets over things fairly quickly.  The boy and wife, not so much.  She's back on her feet, she'd actually stayed home Monday and Tuesday.  Had the time off to take so why not?  Morning, Tony.

Guess she didn't have to worry about any snow days to make up.

Ha, yeah, they don't build those in the school schedule out here.  Morning, Dave.

My kids still have a full week at "Spring Break". How the hell is that possible?

Fish math?

I haven't tried any of the Beer Camp releases.  Only 'new' beer I've added to my favorites list lately is Eviltwin Brewing, Molotov Cocktail single simcoe hop edition.  $7, really high ABV, and has that dank/citrusy mix that I like.

That would be one of the nicer things you've been called lately.

Might be the reason it was the only one available,  people who bought it once, won't
 buy it again - present company excluded!

I have to laugh at the anti-fru fru beer commercials that Budweiser has been running lately.   What about AB's Shock Top??

Right?  Or the fact that their parent company, InBev, purchased Goose Island, who puts out the highly acclaimed Bourbon County Stouts?  So they're advertising against their own stuff.
