Isaac Hughes: cloudbursty?! that’s a real compliment!
Tom Hughes is drinking a Seastack IPA by Camp Colvos Brewing
A new offering at Colvos - Seastack. The name reminds me of ‘Sleestak’ from the 70s TV show ‘The Land of the Lost’. Sleeestak! Sleestak! So frightening. Anyway, this delightful brew is nothing like that. A light hazy sweet treat. Kind of Cloudbursty.

Tom Hughes is drinking a Northwest India Pale Ale by SteepleJack Brewing Co.
First time seeing this in the beer isle and it was on sale, this helps with indecision. Nice piney top with a sweet middle and a clean finish. Kind of reminds me of Lucille. Pairs well with this beautiful sunny day. A 1st day of Springkind of day.

Tom Hughes is drinking an Estrella Jalisco by Estrella Jalisco at Zamorana
A Mexican lager is always good when it’s cold and accompanied by a delicious plate of Mexican food. Nothing exceptional - it could have been bottled in the same plant as Corona or Sol, and probably was - but good!

Tom Hughes is drinking a Trail Blazer Pale Ale by Métier Brewing Company at Toulouse Petit Kitchen & Lounge
Lively and nuanced. A lot going on here. I would like to get back here, soon. This and the fennel sausage pasta and the brussels sprouts at Toulouse Petite, rahyummm!

You can always count on Reuben’s, a brewer that consistently makes tasty beer. But this one is not my fav. Sometimes the ‘smoky’ tastes a little like leather. Like the taste of my baseball mitt when I was a wee lad and would chew on the ends.
