My pre-order Friday and pick-up Saturday routine went to El Segundo for a Surfridge Brewing Co. crowler sale. I went one IPA and one stout.
Outlaw Unicorn is objectively a great beer name and the beer had a couple of different levels to it. At first, it was a dense rye-ish IPA that was closer to British styled than West Coast, but as it warmed, there was a new flavor note in the form of orange pekoe tea. I found the latter to be the more enjoyable.
The Gnome had a nice vanilla / milk chocolate combo but for a stout was pretty light and watery. No fan of the pastry stout am I but this could have used less effervescence and more heft.
