Just off the Turnip Truck…

…or perhaps a better way to headline this post is Born Yesterday.  A new beer coming from Lagunitas that will be hitting shelves soon and will only travel 24 hours from the source.

I was treated to this news while at the Beer Bloggers Conference.  It will be around 6.2% and will have the now beloved Citra along with Mosaic and Willamette hops but the kicker is that the store will get it 24 hours after it is packaged.  This will be a beer that you MUST check the dates on.  Freshness will be key and I do not want to see reviews of stale Born Yesterday.  Lagunitas already makes one of my all time favorite beer in Sucks and a new favorite in Mandaraison (which damn well better come back) so you can expect goodness here.

Beer Blogger Conference – I’ve signed up!

After a two year hiatus, I am once again scheduled to appear (as myself) at the 2014 Beer Blogger Conference.

Not the Dublin one (though that would be nice) but at the much closer to my home base of Los Angeles American version in San Diego.  I had a grand time at the 1st conference in Boulder and the 2nd in Portland and I certainly wished I could have gone to the Boston and Indianapolis ones.  On a side note, I wish Asheville would host or Chicago.

The link above give you reasons why you should attend.  A) for $95 you would be hard pressed to find a conference that has that low of an admission fee and B) It gets you out of your chair and face to face with people with familiar and new faces.  For those who don’t go out, faces are on people when you talk to them in close proximity.
