We do! Where are you all getting Kona? I'm not seeing it in Indiana.

It's starting to get popular in the area here in St. Louis. Most just have Golden Ale (which is awesome), and some are starting to get Longboard and the seasonal in stock for bottle.

If you get on their website, they actually have a beer locator built in.

It's pretty slick.

^^That brings back memories!  I used to manage a Mexican restaurant and this was my favorite Mexican beer!

First tried it in Cancun.  Started with Sol but quickly switched to Pacifico!

Very refreshing...

What's funny is that just about every brand of "Mexican" beer you see in the market (Modelo, Corona, Pacifico, Sol, XX, Tecate, etc.) is owned by either Anhuser-Bush InBev or Heineken International. Craft beer holds only about 1% of total market share in Mexico. That's why, when possible I will rather support local breweries than the big conglomerates.

Posting in advance, but today's beer will be Oskar Blue's Gubna Imperial IPA.  As a matter of fact, I may take off work early to do so....

It is funny.  Kind of like when you port in Honduras and buy items at the local marketplace only to realize they were made in Taiwan.

Love this beer! Having this while grilling (another thread we need to revive!) mango salsa marinated salmon.

[JaybobHoosier 11,821]

Finally picked up a pick-6 pack. This was a nice beer with a slight malty aftertaste. Nice easy Lager.

Nice easy Lager. No big aftertaste, slight hop there at the end. Nothing fancy, but a nice beer to have with your meal.

Ive done chicken with the mango but havent tried it with salmon.Sounds good.

[JaybobHoosier 11,821]

Not a fan, a little too hoppy for me.

I've had this in several different countries, not a bad beer.

[JaybobHoosier 11,821]

Not my favorite ale. Can't quite describe it, but a dry hop bitter pale ale is a way I would put it.

Living in the Louisville market Ive tried a couple Fall City beers.The pale ale was pretty nondescript but the Easy Goer Session IPA was excellent,crisp with a nice bitter finish.I will definitely be buying more.

Green Flash is pretty aggressive with their hops- I haven't tried this one but definitely will!

Yeah they are.  I've had another Green Flash before, but it's been awhile so I can't remember which one.

I'd recommend NOT trying Palate Wrecker from them- insanely bitter and hoppy! I love that style and it's almost too much !
