    This is an important one for me. My boss's daughter has had cancer since she was like... 2, just absolutely heartbreaking stuff, and she is the absolute sweetest most amazing kid ever. She started kindergarten (remote) yesterday and has been cancer free for about 6 months

    So ANYWAY, this brewery in Oregon brews this beer called F* Cancer and the label is covered in names of cancer fighters, survivors and more. You can get names on the label by donating to cancer research so I donated this year to get his daughter on the can.

    Well... Turns out it was very hard to get these cans in California, they don't distribute here and I obviously can't travel to Oregon very easily right now. I got lucky and they added it to Tavour a month or so ago and I jumped on it. Added a few more beers to my crate and they arrived today.

    Now I just need to find a time to bring my boss a few cans to surprise him.

    Anyway, the beer tastes fine but the meaning is what's important.

    Had the first ever IPA from Half Acre I didn't like. This Parrot of Paradise is trying to thread the needle between West Coast and Hazy IPA and it comes off as a diluted version of the former.

    Didn’t recall you being from SoCal and immediate thought... hmmm... looks like typical houses like where I grew up (Yorba Linda/Temecula).

    I bought this and Southern Tier’s Orange Creamsicle on the same day and I think Southern Tier’s Orange Creamsicle blows the blood orange creamsicle out of the water.

    The blood orange tasted more like a sour ale to me.

  18. Worse service I ever had in a brewery.

    The irony is I will be using a single cut beer this week on my Instagram because my wife bought I for me and I feel obligated lol

    And also this honey stout from Untitled Art. This brewery is quickly jumping up my list, haven't had anything bad from them yet, everything (seltzer included) is damn good
