How are you still drinking that? I feel like it would have to be a malty mess. Wasn't the last batch from July or something?

In an effort to keep Commotion as fresh as possible in the market they have pulled back and focused on key accounts. What part of town do you shop?

Now save #7
Brookshires in Sterlington
Brookshires on N 18th

are the best places in town.

No I think last one was late September. Didn't see it in BR but a buddy brought the goods down from Shreve to the LSU South Carolina tailgate. Was awesome and better than the July batch IMO.

First few times I had the IPL it was great but I only had small tastings. Bought a bomber of it and I did not enjoy it. After drinking a few full pours it left a Natural Light keg party after taste in my mouth the rest of the night.

and the gas station across the street (next to Starbucks) has a good selection. That wine store on Louisville is good as well.

All of which have too good of a selection for a town like Monroe.

I agree with that list. The difference maker with GR, is that they are VERY attentive to their customers. Commotion first came out, it wasn't anything special. Owners new that, made changes, and boom, fantastic pale ale.
G&G, we've all been complaining that it is fantastic, but the price tag is a bit painful at $12.99. Then news comes from Ross, i believe, that they are doing their best effort to lower the cost to the consumer of that beer.

Y'all do a great job Ross. Keep it up. It may have been mentioned in this thread and i may have missed it, but when will the following make it to BR again (or for the first time?)

Grace and grit
all my tomorrows
at arms length
creature of habit

Also, any plans to brew an incredible standard IPA?

Yet another reason Crescent sucks. If they can manage to deliver kegs to the Bulldog late last week, they should be able to get some bottles to some of the key off-premise accounts sooner than a week later.

This week. Not sure on account placements quite yet, however. I do know that Devine in Ruston will have it on Thursday!

I'm not drinking it. It's sitting in my fridge right now. I just opened a Ghost in the Machine and am typing on my front porch. Should I throw it away too?

I'm a wine guy. I'm used to opening one then laying the rest of the bottles down for a few years so I can tell the difference. If I'm buying beer with a 60-90 day shelf life well I'll just enjoy it whenever and not mention to the mavens so they don't drop their tampons.

Someone please tell me a Saison I can get on somewhat fresh basis that is located in BR since I am a fan of that style.

Don't be so defensive. It's a legitimate statement given I've seen you mention drinking it a few times recently. If it's that July batch it likely wouldn't have the qualities that make it good when fresh. But maybe you just like that. Cool. I guess. Enjoy.

in addition to Bug's list. Blackberry Farm's Saison just won a medal at GABF and is available at Calandro's.

I wasn't been defensive. I was being an a-hole. As I said I'm a wine guy and just don't have the palate to tell me the perfect qualities of a beer that is 90 or so days old - so really it just doesn't bother me unless it ends up tasting like shite which I find unlikely. I mean the Ghost is older than that and I find it rather tasty right at this particular moment. I guess it's older - I don't always look at the dates like I do with milk and eggs.

Thanks Bug - I have had the Sofie and forgot about that. I'd like that blood orange saison again.
