I really like that beer — just clean and articulated hops.
Has anybody mentioned this yet? Harpoon buys Clown Shoes

Goldman Sachs downgraded both Boston Beer Company and Constellation Brand on the data that younger consumers aren't drinking as much alcohol as older generations, and the ones who do prefer wine and spirits.
"We view the shift in penetration and consumption trends as driven by a shift in preferences in the younger cohorts," Chief Analyst Freda Zhuo wrote.
Beer penetration fell 1% from 2016 to 2017 in the US market, while both wine and spirits were unmoved, according to Nielsen ratings.
Goldman Sachs now expects the overall beer market in the US to decline by 0.7% in 2017.
While some argue that calling a 1% drop in penetration a beer-industry homicide case is an overreaction, small shifts have huge financial impact. Beer already lost 10% of market share to wine and hard liquor from 2006 to 2016.

I've stopped a few times at Big Spruce in Nyanza when travelling that way. Great product and people. And now that it is in stores through the rest of the province, much easier on the gas mileage to get it.
I really like the one on the right.
The yeller feller is also at home in my reeferigerator.
Dude who runs the place is a giant, happy go-lucky, engineering, trebuchet building, maverick of east coast (Canadaland) craft beer. Highly recommend if you're ever this way.

Collective Arts IPA No. 4 — nice, full, interesting white Hellertau mid-palate, with Citra and Mosaic at each end.
Here in the more northern bits, thanks to Jeremy White at Big Spruce, we call that wee hash a "Panic Line"
Oh, you mean that line? Got the glass at a beer fest. The line lets the bartender know not to waste you on the first pour.
