Any comments on where we can pick up a few bottles in BR?


Whole Foods, Calandro's, Marcello's, Cuban, Matherne's all have it. Some of the varieties may not be available because response has been great, thus things have sold out. Delivery of new Green Flash happens once a month, so it may be a bit before they can restock.

It's like a better version of Sierra Nevada in my opinion. I like Green Flash, but I don't go crazy over it.

I thought Palate Wrecker was their best one. Too bad it's a spring seasonal and not a year round brew.

Very well stated.

I like most of their beers. Rayon Vert is just alright, IMO. But Belgian pale ales aren't really my thing. Their IPAs and stout = delicious though.

It has too much of a piney taste for me. I can drink one, but I'm dying for something else after.

So my friend knows the brewer(s) at Green Flash and he lives less than 30 minutes from the brewery. I told him to tell the peeps that LA is really enjoying the beer being available.

I dont agree with this on the sn side. Sierras regular line up is good, but their one offs, seasonals and collabs really excel. Celebration, big foot, estate, life and limb, s & n hemisphere, ovila stuff, 30th anniversary series, beer camp. Thats just off the top of the dome. Im a huge sn fan.

So far I've had the Le Freak, Hop Head Red, and West Coast IPA and I'm a fan of them all. I have the stout in my fridge that I might crack open tonight.

I went today. They had both of these as well as Double Stout. I spoke to the beer manager. He said these were the only three the distributor had available this month, but next shipment he hoped to have their entire line up.

Also, he said they had several new Mikkeller's that just came in today.
