I had the Lagunitas terpine-infused double IPA (avec alcohol but sans THC) and it was fantastic.

Jackie O's is one of my low-key favorite breweries... esp now that they've solved their infection issue from a few years back.

congrats to lagunitas on that new beer posted above that breaks their "love to get some with a lady" naming theme that's so gratingly embarrassing

Here in MI I was just talking the other day to a grad student from OH about beer and she was blown away by everything here compared to Ohio. I can name at least two brewers from MN, IL, WI, IN, but could only think of Great Lakes out of Cleveland for Ohio beers.
― joygoat, Sunday, 1 July 2018 14:25 (five years ago) link
I enjoyed Rhinegeist beers when I visited Ohio earlier this month.
Central Waters continues to be one of my favorite deals in craft beer, their new Vanilla Bean BBA stout is super good. Hoping to visit their facility when driving through WI later this month.
― I want to change my display name (dan m), Sunday, 1 July 2018 15:02 (five years ago) link
Ha rheingeist was the only other brewery out of Ohio that she could come up with. Granted, she is a broke ass 23-year-old masters student right now so cost is her main factor in her beer choices
― joygoat, Sunday, 1 July 2018 15:06 (five years ago) link
Urban Artifact (fruit beer + sours) had really good ones when I tried them last year, kumquat and such.
Braxton Brewing, right across the river from Cincinnati in northern Kentucky, has good ones as well, especially Dead Blow (with macerated dates). They took over a nearby brewery/taproom and opened Braxton Labs, which has all kinds of experiments. Hoping they get wider distribution sometime.

urban artifact does have a few god sours
platform is totally hit or miss. they just brew so many new beers all the time so consistency is not really what they are going for

I haven't checked, has anything from Iowa made it outside the state recently other than Toppling Goliath?

Blood orange pales and IPAs have become my new summer obsession. I've been drinking a lot of the Lagunitas and 21st Amendment versions. Anyone else have recommendations for easily obtainable ones?
I can still remember when I lived in Seattle years ago a brewery did a Christmas ale that dispensed with the usual darker, heavy body and the spices, and basically brewed an orange IPA that I thought was the best thing ever (at the time.)

Had some great ones last week. A blueberry sour from upland (Indianapolis iirc). Was not cloying. it ruled. And a triple IPA from killer ipa-makers Novo Brazil (Chula Vista) which was like 9% and i couldn't even taste any alcohol. Oh! And one from de dolle, who are maybe my fave Belgian producers.

i guess i'm going to have to try a ripe, i've read articles in two different mags touting it as one of the great ipas. i don't get why one of the best ne ipas would come from portland, but i guess that's portland for you, and if i'm gonna drink an ipa it's probably gonna be an ne.
― Arch Bacon (rushomancy), Thursday, 12 July 2018 01:11 (five years ago) link
Nb I probably haven’t had one for a year but I like it a lot

The theoretically limited Lagunitas blood orange IPA is one of my faves, and I noticed they produced a shit ton more of it this year than ever before.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 12 July 2018 03:05 (five years ago) link
I'm going to be road tripping from Portland down to San Francisco is a couple of weeks. Any suggestions for Oregon or California beers I can't get here to keep an eye out for? The only one on my radar right now, honestly, is Pliny. And now I've added the Ripe (from Great Notion, right?) to my mental list as well.
