Revision uses milk sugar in many of their hazies ---- a choice I typically prefer not be made. I'm lactose intolerant so I have watch every label, I have had many Revision beers that obviously don't have milk sugar, you just have to be diligent, sadly there are a lot of breweries now that are brewi...

Hrmmm. Will need to check this out more; quite a few places stock Revision here. I’ve had a few, but my experience re distribution/inventory has been similar to Bud’s.

The Brewers Association came by a couple of weeks ago to do some filming, and they came out with this video just in time for Fathers Day.

That is fantastic Rick, you can see how proud you are of Lisa, great team right there.

Really?!? You have heard other people expressing similar thoughts, huh?

stopped by Monkish over the weekend. Three hazies, which ranged from very good to excellent (but all at least a notch or two below the best that I've had from them).

Ohwaitwhat?!?? When did Evan leave Noble?!? To be fair, the last beer I had of theirs was a collabo woth El.Segundo that was off-the-charts good. But that was a while ago.

Brian, Evan opened Green Cheek two years ago so it's been roughly 2 1/2 years since he was last at Noble.

Is bottle logic worth the drive? big fan of their stouts (FO, etc).. but they are a 40 mins drive from Monkish.. do they have a good tap room where u can try the rare stuff? That drive could be well over an hour depending on time of day. If you do go make sure to stop into Greencheek brewing right ...

Thanks, Bud! I can't imagine I'd ever want more than 2, maaaaybe 3, 4 packs of any given beer, unless it's a re-release with which I am familiar.
