Hey Steve, wazzup?  Grey overcast 2-fer Tuesday here.

Partly sunny and 72... can't complain too much about the weather, so everything else is open season.

Here's a new Ballast Point I'm wanting to try...

http://beerstreetjournal.com/ballast-point-watermelon-dorado/

I almost tried that on several occassions due to the high ABV

Ya. Based from their IPA. The grapefruit is very nice. This should be good as well...  at least that's what I'm hoping.

Sweetwater Whiplash is another I'm looking forward to seeing on shelves again.

Never had that one

4 more days and I will be sipping some Sweetwater 420 & Georgia Brown, Terrapin Hopsecutioner and Holy City Pluff Mud along with a few other delights.

Good if you like Hoppy Beers.

I can't get a single thing on that list here.

I can see myself chasing a Duck Club Sandwich and some Duck Fat Fries with one of those beers on tap at the Tattooed Moose while I am over there too.

It's a solid IPA. Not as fruity as the Sculpin... more floral and a little more bitter, imo.

I would agree with that, while adding quite a bit cheaper than Sculpin too.
