Alright, time to talk about a brewery instead of a specific beer! Left Coast Brewing started distributing to Texas back in August, so if you're ever at Spec's over there look for a few of their regular lineup plus maybe a seasonal or two! The first one I tried was the Hop Juice Double IPA, probably their signature beer, and it was well received among all of the IPAs we had lined up at the IPA Day tasting! I need to try it again in a more isolated setting and really appreciate a good beer.
Since then I've also had the chance to try the seasonal Una Mas Amber Lager and the year-round Voo Doo Stout. Both beers also impressed, but especially the Una Mas which really had a lot of flavor for the typically less than powerful style. The Board Walk Saison, a summer seasonal was also a pretty solid beer and the year-round Trestles IPA was good but not quite as impressive as the Hop Juice Double IPA.
The next chance I get I'd like to try their year-round Asylum Tripel and the other two seasonals, the Wedge Black IPA and Ale Epeteios Imperial Stout really look appealing to me. Maybe one day these guys will be in Louisiana. Expansion from California to Texas is a step in the right direction.
