Two new beers here in LA

I've enjoyed the Stoudts I've had. I really like their Pale Ale.

I saw a couple of Rio Grande beers on the shelf this weekend (can't remember where though). Almost picked them up before spotting some Squatters and opted for that instead.

Been meaning to try stoutd's but calandro's has so much new interesting stuff I haven't been able to get around to it.

Thanks for becoming a member tetu!!

Stoudt's has some solid shite. Glad to see them in LA.

Their IPA is awesome!

I really liked it also, however! Correct me if I'm wrong. When it comes to IPAs, am I for off in my idea that they can be generally broken down into to types; the ones with hops which result in a fruity/citrusy type of bitterness, and the ones that are just piney/earthy kind of bitter.

Personally, I like the piney earthy kind of bitter.

Yes, I understand what you mean here. Personally, I prefer IPAs that aren't completely dominated by hops, which is why I liked the Squatters. Of the two types you mentioned, I would lean more to the fruity/citrusy type.
