We went there for everything we needed. We went there when thirsty, of course, and when hungry, and when dead tired. We went there when happy, to celebrate, and when sad, to sulk. We went there after weddings and funerals, for something to settle our nerves, and always for a shot of courage just before. We went there when we didn't know what we needed, hoping someone might tell us. We went there when looking for love, or sex, or trouble, or for someone who had gone missing, because sooner or later everyone turned up there. Most of all we went there when we needed to be found.

- J.R. Moehringer, "The Tender Bar"

FEATURED BOTTLE OF THE WEEK


BALLAST POINT GRAPEFRUIT SCULPIN IPA

Ballast Point is new to our area and it did not take long to make a name for itself with our beer enthusiasts and in the beer news.  Shortly after Ballast entered our market, Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits was purchased by Constellation Brands, the company that makes Corona and Modelo, for $1 billion dollars!

IPA lovers are going to really enjoy this beer.  The hint of the grapefruit comes out a little in the after taste but is aggressive enough to tone down the hops in the Sculpin.  It is definitely not overwhelming.  For those who expected a radler or shandy taste, they will be caught off guard and pleasantly surprised to fall in love with this IPA.

Stop into PINTS today and try one!
