Draft Beer Update
Green Flash Hop Odyssey Black IPA replaced Heavy Seas Black Cannon. Here we have one black IPA replacing another. This one is from Green Flash, which has long brewed one the standards for west coast IPAs, so this black IPA should have the IPA-ness that we are looking for but don't always get in black IPAs.

Flying Fish XPA replaced Great Divide Lasso IPA. XPA is one of Fish's original beers from 18 years ago. I overlooked this beer for about 12 years because it sounded lame and instead ordered all of Fish's other beers on a regular basis. Then I finally (reluctantly) had an XPA. Dang, this is a really tasty medium sized beer. It's everything that a beer should be. Those are 12 years of not drinking Flying Fish XPA that I will never get back. But now we all get to drink XPA now and again here at the Grey Lodge. So let us live in the present. It's a good place to be.
