Its brewed in Seattle by Elysian Brewing, and its delicious. I dont usually like flavored beers, and never really try them, but i like IPAs a lot and tried one of these at the brewery a few months ago. Loved it.
So, today i stop at the truck stop near my house, on the way home from work. Its a beautiful sunny day so i plan on getting some mexican cokes to enjoy with some rum, on the porch. While i work on this new drawing i just started (more on that later). So as im walking to the register with my cokes in hand, i pass the beer section. I didnt plan on stopping but for some reason this bottle caught my eye. Now, ive only had this beer on draft, and didnt even know they sold it in bottles so imagine my surprise when i read the label and there it was, the jasmine IPA. So i had to get some.
Also, i stopped by hell itself (Walmart) on my lunch break today, on a whim, to look for ammo. Assuming they were sold out, like most places. Turns out though, they got some .40 cal in this morning unexpectedly. So i scooped up two boxes. Its been my lucky day, i should probably play lotto. But instead im just gonna enjoy this delicious beer in the evening sun.
ps - you can also see the corner of my new BUCK knife. Thanks to my girl's dad for putting that in my "easter basket", along with a new turtle shaped black n tan tool. Manly easter baskets for the win!

Chris, you ever had Harpoon IPA? There original brewery is here in Boston, wasnt sure if it has made its way out to there. I'm a big fan of IPA's myself and Harpoon is definitely one of the best I've had.
Mexican soda rules the world. Made with real cane sugar, fuck that high fructose corn syrup new coke shit. There is a mexican store next to the shop, they have coke, pepsi, 7up and squirt all from mexico. the 7up is the best shit on the planet.
Casey, never heard of Harpoon, feel free to send me some. :)
Jason, i couldnt have said it better myself. Funny enough, i got hooked on the mexican soda because of the little La Tienda next to my old barber shop. Ill have to try the 7-up though. Good lookin out.
I'll have to try that beer. They have it at my work. I always just get my Mexican coke from costco. Bastard friends always take it though.
After drinking both of those bottles last night, i decided its much better on draft. Still, its not bad in a bottle though. Id recommend pouring it into a glass to let it breathe.
