Congrats to Suncatcher Brewing on their opening yesterday! Intimate space and quality, low ABV options abound. Fall Bier and blonde ale were my favorites.
November 15, 2024 at 5:27 PM
Revolution's next Deep Wood release - tomorrow! - might be the best one top to bottom. Straight Jacket, Ryeway to Heaven, DB V.S.O.R., and D.B.X.O.D. Le Troncais are all delicious in one way or another and worth your money.
