Juicin IPA by BlueTarp. Man this thing has a unique flavor to it. Very nice beer. Almost no bitterness.

Gonna make that my next purchase I think.

I love their cans. Just bonkers, all of them.

Picked up a bottle of BCBS today. First time I've ever seen it.

I've still never seen it.  It's still on my beer bucket list.  Have you tried it yet? What do you think?

I am holding on to it for now. Gotta pick the right time...like this weekend. I'll report back.

Headed to Northern Arkansas in the morning for a few days for some trout fishing. Is there anything worth looking out for?

Bringing some Dale's, Two Hearted, DFH Sea Quench, Oberon, and Terrapin's new Tea Time Berlinerweisse.

No clue, but have a great trip. That part of the state is beautiful. Gilbert is a neat little town (as in pop. 33 little) on the Buffalo. You can actually pull up your canoe, go have lunch at this cool little restaurant, and then get back on the river. There's also a rad bat cave close to there.

Is that the White River? Bucket list trip for me. Good for you man. Great choice of beer, too.

This just popped up in my feed. 2 beers in AR mentioned. I wouldn't hold up Men's Journal as an arbiter of beer tastes, but it's a starting point.

 Nice, I'll definitely be on the lookout for that IPA. 

Edit: and damn, that first IPA is in Arizona.

@ShocksMyBrain, be on the lookout for Grace and Grit by Great Raft. I know it's been shipped to north Ark.

 

Have fun, Arky counties are always an interesting hodgepodge of dry/wet.

I can now happily vouch for Great Raft products.

At the of the same canoe trip I alluded to earlier, we ended up staying in Conway, AR. The only place around there to get a drink was at the VFW, so to the VFW we went. There was only one guy there even remotely near our age, which meant that we were the only people there remotely near his age, which meant that he really wanted to hang out with us. Dude was a 1-legged Paralympian trick skiier. Fun night.

Stayed at Gaston's a few weeks ago.  It is in a dry county.  You have to drive to the next county to find something.  Although, interestingly they do have a bar with a small selection, and nothing spectacular.  Better take as much with you as you can.

 I would highly recommend the hot wings at the restaurant/bar.  Best I have ever had.   The chef batters, fries, and then pours a buffalo sauce over them that is made with butter, habenero, and other spices.  Excellent!

We had a large group, and the ones that caught the large browns were using shrimp and crawfish for bait.  Largest rainbow was about 17" and brown 26".  

There are a couple of bald eagles nested down river from the resort.  Cool to see those guys fly so close in the wild.

Picked up a BBA Abbey Quad from SoPro. Lazarus series. Low carbonation is not it's friend. Waaaay too sweet for me. 

[McLoofus 35,182]

Unexpectedly passing through Memphis. The High Cotton Dunkle could use a little more carb for my personal taste but otherwise pairs really well with Central Bbq's ribs. Was hoping they'd have Yazoo Sue, but no luck.

[Tiger Refuge 6,662]

Enjoyed an Old Mad Joy last night. Warm, roasty, not too sweet. Just right.

 

@McLoofus my wife and youngest son left Memphis yesterday. They ate at Central BBQ on Thursday...y'all are making me jealous.

[Tiger Refuge 6,662]

Had my one bottle of KBS last night. It was really good. Glad I bought it, but not sure about all the hype.

It was great, I keep starting and stopping a post about it. Still putting pics on my computer.

Brown Shugga is still a really, really good beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, and powerful.

Finally made it to our "new" local brewery. Flying Tiger. I bitched about their first IPA offering. They got it straightened out now. What a cool place.

Ice plant in a beer can? Good catch on the centerpiece.

Why do I think about Ray Zalinski every time one of these articles comes out? Bash another company and take their market share....

This one doesn't bother me too much. I suppose it should, especially since WW has so many beers on the shelf at any given time, but I just don't buy them very often. Kind of expensive and I don't think they do anything that other breweries aren't doing just as well. Now, if Burial gets bought...
