Hit two brew houses in Charlotte last weekend ......... remembering what I had is a problem (due to pregame festivities).
Having my first Lake Erie Monster for this year in a couple of hours.
A lot of local breweries announced they have eliminated all restrictions so we're going to have a little brewery tour this weekend to make up for a year of lost time.

Struggling to find some good Hazy IPAs in Dallas. So far Spindletap outta Houston has some great beers but are hard to find and I had a good one from Deep Ellum but that’s about it.
Had Supreme Allied Commander from R. Shea yesterday. Might be the smoothest 15.8% Imperial Stout ever. It's a chocolate covered, salted caramel triple oatmeal pastry stout. R. Shea does not make a bad beer.
I don’t drink much cider/shandy but I tried Rhinegeist’s Zango the other night and it’s pretty good. Looks like they released a honey cider I’m looking for.
As for tonight, picked up Fretboard’s new honey lager and Sonder’s Certified Heater which is a double dry hopped double NE IPA.
Picked up a variety 12 pack of Great Lakes for the Father’s Day weekend:
Dortmund Gold
Elliot Ness
Edmund Fitzgerald
Commodore Perry

Sonder’s Blue Ice Cream ale. Amazing. Downed several of these.
Sounder puts out some solid vrews
That ice cream ale is something I would like to try.
Spent the weekend in Lexington with a college buddy and had a little too much fun. Don't remember all I drank, but I'm still paying for it this morning.
Oxbow Brewing Co (Maine) - Northern Lager ..........very good
New Holland Brewing (Michigan) - Hazy River IPA New England style ......another good one (on a humid Father's Day).
At a brewery in Orlando called Rockpit Brewing. They have a kviek pale ale that is about the best beer I’ve had in a while.
4 beers later…
only 2 more for a smooth half dozen...
Went to Dayton Dragons game last night and the bar across the stadium had Great Lakes Christmas Ale on tap. I was pleasantly surprised and happy.
I know that’s a Christmas in July thing or whatever but a beer store not far from me was already getting in some Octoberfest beers yesterday.
I had two seltzers the other day on tap in columbus from a brewery in Cincinnati, I think it was called March 1st. One was "Bomb Pop" and the other was "Red Cream Soda", both were really good. Other than that I have been going to Giant Eagle once a week and buy the pick six packages and have tried some really good beers from: Nocterra, Saucy Brew works, North High Brewery, and Rhinegeist. Also I am in the process of buying the materials to make my own seltzer and beer.
I have never been impressed with March First, but I did hear about the Red Cream Soda the other day and it sounds good.
My wife brought me back three 4-packs from Double Nickel Brewing from NJ. A hazy ipa, a kviek ipa, and a kettle sour. All have been good.
