I found a new candy store, Oliver’s, the Brew-Crew. It’s not actually new, but new to me and convenient to my new job. It has a bigger selection and carries selections of brews that I have not been ale to find in a long time, like Clipper City Gold Ale, and brews that I have not even had a chance to try yet. Yeah for me! My one complaint is that not everything is labeled.
In my first visit I could not stop myself and bought about $100 worth of six packs. (hey… it will last me a while and looks good in my beer cellar) So, I’m looking at the receipt with cryptic codes for each six pack and the price they rung up at, all about $7.99, $8.99, $9.50, and then there was one for $13.79! Oh crap! Which six pack did I pay $13.79 for? The code was something like GRFL IPA. So I’m looking through my beer rack and figure out it must be Green Flash West Coast IPA.
This beer had better be good. I hate it when I try something new and it is disappointing and if this one is disappointing at $13+, I’m not going to be happy at all.
Long story short, it is fantastic. It pours a golden straw color, classic for an American IPA and the hop aroma is powerful and puts a smile on my face. The beer tastes even better than it smells.
So, every time I have a glass of Green Flash I say to myself, “it was worth every penny.”
