So if I get my hands on some next week, do I get to be a mod?

Was at Gilroys yesterday, I'm slightly fragile today

I find largers a bit boring these days, but this one was quite pleasant. Little bit on the fizzy side but good.

A well made larger is an amazing thing.

Where is that?

It would be nice to see IBU values on that board as well - and possibly OG values too

Had it several times since I live here now. For a larger it is brilliant, great taste, nothing like SA largers.

Had my first taste of craft beer on Tuesday, Aces Lager. A bit light for my taste, but wasn't bad. Also tried some Boston's Black River Coffee Stout (if I remember correctly! ). But didn't really like it, don't like the "coffee" flavoured wines either.

Definitely plan on going back to try some more!

Aces larger is not bad - but there are better local craft largers.

As for Black River Coffee Stout - I've had good one and I've had bad ones.

Boston's bottling practices don't seem to be too wonderful.

Not being particularyly clued-up on local craft beers, just took one randomly.

I can't say for a fact if the stout was "bad" or not, just didn't really like it. I am not really a stout fan to begin with, craft or retail, so yeah.

What local craft beers do you recommended? Personally prefer a good lager, but willing to try anything at least once.

We were at Capital Craft in Menlo Park for St. Patrick's and our first craft beer experience, and will be going back, what do you recommend on their menu? Ofc, not restricted to Capital Craft either, but did like the venue etc.
