  2. Have St Augustine in my yard which always comes in in patches throughout the spring (& is then very thick through the summer and fall). However, one side of my yard looks especially thin and slow growing this year and there also are some greyish areas right now. Any thoughts on what I can do to promote the growth/fight off whatever this is? Already did the usual weed and feed.

  3. Very smooth and tropical DIPA. I can’t recall the last time I had a Southern Star beer (in part because we don’t seem to get much from them up here in Dallas) but this is nicely done.

  4. Also, man, my palate has changed. The recipe seems spot on from what I remember, but damn, Raspberry Celis is cloying as fuck. Still fun to drink, but after the nostalgia wears off, I don't know how much I will buy.

    I am concerned I will have the same reaction but holding out hope I won’t. Fingers crossed.
  5. I'm with you 100%.  Price to quality ratio is unbeatable. 
    ...And, you don't have to wait for $1.99/lb sales.
     

    This is good info to know as I never otherwise shop at WM. Surly rep (or whatever it is) to you, good sir.
  6. The original Alpine beers made in their tiny brewery in Alpine, CA were outstanding. The versions put out after the GF partnership were (at least the ones I had here in Texas) a mixed bag.

    San Diego, CA) – As a conclusion to Green Flash Brewing ending their national expansion strategy, closing Virginia Beach and Cellar 3, we have just learned that Green Flash Brewing, Inc.’s largest shareholder, Comerica Bank has foreclosed on it’s loans due to outstanding debt and poor business health and that Green Flash and Alpine assets have been sold to a risk management company in Michigan named WCIPA, LLC. We are still trying to learn more about this company. Here is the official memo that Green Flash President and CEO Mike Hinkley sent to over 100 shareholders this morning.

    “Dear GFBC, Inc. Shareholders,

    On behalf of myself and the Board of Directors of GFBC, Inc. (the “Company”), I am truly sorry to report that the Company’s senior lender, Comerica Bank, has foreclosed on its loans and sold the assets of the Company (other than the Virginia Beach brewery) to WC IPA LLC through a foreclosure sale which closed on March 30, 2018. As such, the Company no longer owns the Green Flash and Alpine businesses. Comerica Bank is currently conducting a separate process to sell the Virginia Beach brewery.

    After a general slowdown in the craft beer industry, coupled with intense competition and a slowdown of our business, we could not service the debt that we took on to build the Virginia Beach brewery — and in early 2018, the Company defaulted on its loans with Comerica Bank. While we took substantial efforts to recapitalize the Company over the past several months, both before and after the bank default, we were ultimately unable to close a transaction.

    While the Green Flash and Alpine brands will continue, they will do so under new ownership — and GFBC, Inc. and Alpine Beer Company, Inc. will be wound down and dissolved. I sincerely thank you for your support over the years.

    Sincerely,
    Mike Hinkley
    CEO
    GFBC, Inc.”
