Spent the week at the beach, drank a fair amount of my homebrew but also picked up:
New Belgium: Somersault & Ranger IPA
SA: Irish Red, Coastal Wheat, Latitude 48 IPA
Heavy Seas: Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale
Oh yea, and the wife made me try a Bud Light Lime-a-Rita. She liked it. All I can say is, "Good for her!"
And last night, had my first SN Hoptimum (2012)--damn, that's a fantastic beer!

I had an amazing drink the other night. Rogue Chipotle. Phenomenal ale with a great pepper aftertaste. Really spicy. It's interesting how it goes down smooth, then the spice sneaks up on you. It only comes in the "tall boy" size, but for 4 or 5 bucks it is a great brew.
Check it out and let me know what you think. Might go well with a similarly spicy stick.

Had my first this weekend so I don't have a comparison with earlier bottles, but I gave it 5 caps on Untappd!
