Agreed on that front. It's always a little challenge to see if you can find something that changes someone's mind a little bit on a certain style. I have a buddy who loves sours, wits, hefes, but he despises IPA's and anything darker. It is always fun to see if we can find that one specific example that makes him start to think a little differently of that style, and if it doesn't happen, then we just move along. We never have any issues with him choosing to drink the styles he likes, just as much as much as he doesn't care that we drink certain styles that he doesn't really care for. No beer snobbery intended here.

Anyways, anyone braving the line for Atrial today yet?

The last few pages of this thread make me want to drop kick kittens. Lets talk about the beers we like, what we like about them, where to get them, and when we're all going to drink them instead of telling people what the should or should not like and what they should and should not taste. There's too much good beer out there for everyone. Enjoy it and spread the word about craft beer instead of being snobby.

Ill go back to kissing unicorns at the end of the rainbow now.
I don't know if this is directed at me, but I most certainly wasn't telling him he SHOULD like sours.. I'm simply pointing out that a sour is not small set of defined tastes within a style, like an ipa or amber beer, and maybe, just maybe there's a sour beer out there for him if he's interested in seeking it and didn't realize a sour came in so many varieties. Just as many of us surely have tried to find the craft beer that we can get a macro lager drinking friend to accept. It's trial and error, but it's always a fun challenge in my mind to find that beer that that person who says they don't like beer will like. Or on a smaller scale, a certain sour someone who doesn't like sours will like.

Big difference between being snobby and trying to be helpful and informative.
Edited so we can move on

This was posted about 5 minutes ago, not the best shot but it already looks like a cluster****.

We got there about 30 minutes early for MvB release and it was nothing like this.

My theory is all the neckbeards and crazies have to get there Friday and gets theirs on day 1. Will prove/disprove said theory tomorrow at noon.

Funny thing... I'm almost certain the guy that posted that pic on IG is the guy I was talking about earlier that has 2800+ distinct on Untappd.

I've been pretty impressed with 11 Below. Their 7-iron is a damn good session. And I love Oso Bueno. Haven't had anything else yet.

I've been over there a few times because it's in the neighborhood. I would probably describe all of their beers as "It's ok, doesn't blow my zipper out though."
I liked drinking their California Common, Uncommon Cowboy. I'm not sure I could distinguish between it and Anchor Steam, which says something, I guess.

I'm obviously not gonna make it out today. Just got back from the zoo. I'll be out there Saturday in the afternoon, though. Not holding out much hope Atrial will still be around.
