From what I hear, their brewing capacity is WAY lower than Russian River and to get Citra you pretty much have to head out there and take your chances that they won't have run out. We got it here in Paso once, a 5 gallon keg that the owner hand delivered, and it was gone in 3 hours. Great, great stuff. I wish we could get more. We can't even get the Just Outstanding here any longer and I love that stuff to death. Haven't been able to get the Class V stout on tap either. I really hope they can increase capacity somehow b/c KRBC beers are WAAAAAAAYYYYY up there in terms of beers that I seek out.

Best local we can do is Firestone Double Jack and when you get it at the brewery tap room, it's such a treat. I sometimes forget just how great of a beer it is and when I do go there instead of Pour House, I'm always amazed at how great that beer is.

Oh, and just to make a few jealous - they had/have Velvet Merlin Oatmeal Stout on nitro at the tap room. I had 2 pints of that the other day and it was pretty, pretty good! I can't wait for winter ales to start hitting the market.

Going to the grand opening of Golden Road Brewing in Glendale/ A****er Village today!

I was at the GRB grand opening too. good beers from there and other breweries. good food from the food trucks. good times.

I think it's Glendale, not At.w.a.ter Village.

as if you don't need a reason nor a stupid excuse to make the trip to Kernville...

Last night I was talking to my buddy and he was trying to setup some get together in Isabella for NYE. Obviously, the highlight for me would be heading to KRBC. Had a few bottles of Old Horizontal last night. I assume that beer would age very nicely.

Isabella is downriver from the lake, isn't it? quite a drive to Kernville, though, if there's snow.

that's a big IF.

more on KRBC and why they don't make Citra DIPA that often.
