I visited my brother Ben in San Diego last summer (Riveting, enthralling, and relevant information for you, I know).
Regardless, there I had various IPAs and Double IPAs, as these styles are known to be extremely delicious in this part of the United States of America. One of the IPAs I enjoyed was from a company called Green Flash and it was excellent. To augment this delight, Ben tried without success to find one of the doubles of this style from the same company. I was left broken, dead, lost, more negative and forlorn adjectives, and without a clean pair of spandex (Though I did acquire some really sweet shades). HOWEVER, NOW, in the PRESENT, both Beers of the World in Henrietta and Hegedorn's in Webster are now carrying Green Flash's Imperial (Double) IPA (DIPA); this is one of the best beers I have ever had. It is so smooth and "easy-drinking"that I had trouble identifying it as a 9% DIPA, and maybe not even an IPA. In fact, as I tried this Green Flash Imperial IPA for the first time, Neil was trying their regular IPA... I think their IPA might even taste hoppier and more bitter than the DIPA. Regardless, the IPA is equally as delicious. So friends, keep an out for the Green Flash (Something I've always wished to see in real life!), buy it, and drink it!
In other news, I saw in Hegedorn's ad in the Sunday Newspaper today that they have added over 200 beers to their already delicious and cheaper-than-Beers-of-the-World selection, and IT IS SOOOO TRUE. This augmentation includes a variety of Belgians (including La Chouffe, a Wisniewski favorite), Green Flash, and Stone Double Bastard (One of my favoritest favorites) for nearly $2.50 cheaper than it is at BOTW. Victory!

Woah, it still says I left a comment. Bizarre. Anyway, I was misleading in my last post - I thought the Russian Imperial Stout was $5, which would be insanely cheap. Alas, it is $7 - still probably a good $2.50 less than Beers of the World, though. And all of the non-seasonal/special brew Stones are $5. And in general, the selection is as large vast as one could hope for in a grocery store. Beyond any of my expectations, that's for sure.
Green Flash contributed to my demise on our last night in San Diego. After our trip to Pizza Port and after gallivanting around the Gaslamp district.
And a note to Kevin -- do not age your Stone Russian Imperial Stout. It tastes like soy sauce. Ask Ben and Dan.
