This could go in the Happy thread as well...As I had one of my best photo sessions of my near 30 year career the other day shooting Dane Reynolds, Bobby Martinez, and Kelly Slater with Timmy, Nathaniel, and Taylor Curran as well. And in pumping surf to boot. It was sick...I just finished editing all the material from the last few days and I had to relax and have one of my favorite beers...

It was certainly worth going for--the smoothest IPA I have ever tried by a large margin. Previously, that title probably went to Elder, but there was no comparison between the two on that front.


pliney elder/younger to ME is so over hyped. I get the smoothness part of it but that is like saying the least spicy salsa. I like to feel it hit,then mellow or what ev. I think that big dumb red circle gets waaaaaay to much hype. Hey if you like it, then I'm not here to tell you differently.


Yeah, you said that already, Nipplez.

Pliny trade!!!! Seriously, tell me how many you want to trade for Pliny and it's done. I throw in some very tasty homebrew to boot (which, tbh, you'll get anyway ;-) )

Has anyone been to the Krisp Beverages store in downtown San Diego? They claim to have 1,000 craft beers in stock. Here's a partial list...
