Green Flash Double Stout could probably hit a Randy Johnson fastball

At the Daily Pint, again. This time with Nick G, waiting for Beth to meet us and head to a work party. Zachtoberfest? We will see.

Almost made the mistake of getting Le Freak, which they were out of, but realized that we already had that back in August. Will need to be more aware of the beer list going forward, close call.

The Double Stout is good, Nick also approves. Good toasty malt and the typical chocolate/coffee thing happening. Alcohol seems a bit higher than usual, there's a residual bite from the alcohol that sticks around after the dankness wears off. This can be Kirby Puckett. While this beer might not ever show up in a hall of fame, it's worthy of some sort of appreciation. Miss you Kirby Puckett, you were the man.

UPDATE: Zacktoberfest was cool.

Green Flash Brewing Le Freak is Freaky Delicious

When I say 'freaky,' let me place it in context; not freaky like a Barnum & Bailey sideshow or like the creepy clowns that run around at Knott's Berry Farm in October or HIPSTERS, but freaky like Victor Frankenstein's Monster - a freak of science. Green Flash Brewery out of San Diego made Le Freak a Belgian Style Imperial IPA.  That's a mouthful (of decliciousness).

It's a crossbreed, like a Labradoodle or Sharktopus. Hoppy and zesty like an IPA, sweet and full bodied like a Belgian. First sip really surprised me and each sip thereafter I enjoyed even more. I would love this at a dive bar with college buddies or relaxing next to a fire after a day of bombing down ski slopes. This beer is ambidextrous and one to experiment with different food and unusual settings. I'm looking forward to my next Le Freak. This is one of the BAD BOYS.
