Lynn Struiksma is drinking a Sour Blonde by ChuckAlek Independent Brewers at Untappd at Home
This was my favorite brewery and just happen to be from my hometown of Ramona, California. I just moved and have no space at my new place so I’m drinking some beers I had saved. Tonight it was this amazing Sour Blonde that still held up 5 years later.
