Brian Sandford is drinking a Vanilla Quit Stalin by Comrade Brewing Co at Comrade Brewing Company
Perfect real vanilla beans in a dense slightly sweet stout. The vanilla lingers even through an IPA. It's exactly what I needed on this -8 night.

Brian Sandford is drinking a Gold Cliff by Kona Brewing Hawaii at Malibu Farm
Drinking it just about 10 miles from the namesake cliffs! The pineapple just barely softens a very sharp pithy hop bitterness

Stunningly clean, nearly no malt, the hops are pure flavor and aroma. It's like they tried to make a beer seltzer and perfectly landed it.
