      Had the day off yesterday so I had some afternoon beers!

      Grapefruit Sculpin, great as always. Not over the top fruit flavors, just enough to be refreshing and different.
      I still have yet to try out the Habanero version, not sure I want to as the combo doesn't sound enticing.

      Brooklyn Sorachi Ace.
      Not sure how I felt about this one after one small bottle, spicy and smooth but something just didn't taste right.
      Maybe just a bit too yeast-y.  😠

        Mouthwatering description though!..

        Brooklyn Sorachi Ace is a classic saison, a cracklingly dry, hoppy unfiltered golden farmhouse ale, but featuring rare Sorachi Ace hop.Fermented with our special Belgian ale strain, we add Sorachi Ace hops post-fermentation. After 100% bottle re-fermentation with Champagne yeast, the beer emerges with a bright spicy lemon zest aroma. It tastes like sunshine in a glass, and that suits us just fine, especially with seafood dishes and fresh cheeses.

          Yup, that along with the ratings I saw I figured it was worth a pickup.
          Luckily I've got three more bottles to give it a go again!

                That's in the states I believe, I've seen it for months.

                Think it, be it.

                    It's apparently not new at all, but it's the first time I've seen it. Direct delivery, didn't even order it. Got some Hoegaarden Agrume and Citrus or some shit like that as well… Worst part is this means less room for decent beers at my shop  😠 Well at the least til the promotional crate's gone  😃

                      Agreed.  On paper it sounds good, but something's just a bit off about it.  I drank a 750 ml bottle and still wasn't completely sure how I felt about it.

                            I got a great Mezcal in which the pinas were fermented in cypress and a local gin that looks interesting.

                            And some brews

                            This one is like eating an apple in a barn. Magnificent.

                              Don't get me wrong, there are a few available, just not many, and definitely not on the level of anything else we have. Most notable would be Bell's Oarsman and one from Jolly Pumpkin whose name escapes me. I would likely find more if I could get into the pubs and restaurants more frequently, as all of our brewers have some GREAT selections that are in house only.

                              Any of Jolly Pumpkin's are a good jumping off point for sours in Michigan.  All of there beers are "Belgian Style" sours, so any of them will do.  New Holland does Blue Sunday, which is usually a pretty solid one.  Brewery Vivant does them occasionally (Tart Side of the Moon was canned last fall).  We (Short's that is) have a bottled brett beer releasing this coming Saturday at our pub.

                              Michigan sours definitely aren't wildly available yet, but the style is starting to develop within our great state!

                                Thanks for the heads up emceeQ. Short's does some interesting brews, though not sure where the pub is honestly. Congrats on getting on with them by the way.

                                Had a nice little trip over to Arcadia Brewing tonight. Opted for a beer sampler with my meal. Funny enough, the IPA was my favorite of the selection.

                                Left to right: Loch Down Scotch Ale, B-craft Black Double IPA, London Porter, Cocoa Loco Stout, Imperial Stout

                                Paired with their Brewer's Brisket Sandwich with house chips and slaw

                                  I can't get enough Crooked Stave, this dry hopped sour ale is ridiculous.

                                  Think it, be it.
