Hi all! It’s been a long time! I’ve been living in Upland for about 8 years now, so it’s hard to be involved in an OC club, but I miss you guys.

Had fun last weekend up in Paso Robles.

Must have been a quick sale. They are $55 now...

I had it on tap at the tasting room in Paso. I wasn't a big fan... Although to be fair, I was doing a high gravity flight with Sucuba, Double DBA on Nitro, and Wookie. The Wookie Jack was my least favorite of the 3. I will have to give it another chance...

On a side note, the Sucuba tasted very ...
