The Bar Towel

Last night was RPA at the stowaway, and we ran into the Kensington brewing sales rep and chatted with him at the bar for a while. Tonight is green flash West Coast IPA!

Cale was kind enough to share a bottle of this with me last night, and I am firmly in the loving it group! I've had a chance to sample this hop a few times in the Thornbridge Kipling that came out last year, but this is definitely the best example so far.

Too much tonight! There, I said it. After my first day back, cracked a Tempest and thought it was my only beer that night, but then though Ef it, and opened a Rochefort 10. Apertifs for some of you guys, probably, but ready for snoozes! Ha ha, sounds like my night. I must of been tired, had a can o...
