Podcast 17 - Lustra Day and Beer Fest Weekend!
Jake loves Michael B. Jordan
Alex can’t pour beer
Beer #1: Platform Beer Co - Seeing Sounds Small Batch IPA (6.2%) Very light, dry, and has a more hop forward flavor than a NE style IPA. 
We discuss Sam Adams and their foray into styles outside their standard beers.

Beer #2: Stillwater Artisanal Ales - Nutropic IPA with Mango and Passionfruit (6%) Sour feel but not actually a sour. Interesting feel and light drinking. 
Alex researched Stillwater. They don’t have their own brewery but they brew on other people’s systems and can through a Brooklyn establishment who cans and distributes their beer. They’re very in touch with their social media as well, and we love them.
Lustra Day! - The line was INSANE! 400+ people in line before 9 am. The line shares were flowing and Dancing Gnome was on their game! They took care of everyone and they had a surprise tapping of Black Clouds Breakfast which was amazing! Each beer was incredible and worth the time spent in line and the bar was moving smoothly and everyone seemed to be in great spirits. 
We discussed our disgust with line jumpers again. 
We picked up Urban Evidence from Hitchhiker after Lustra Day and it is a killer DIPA.
Alex worked at The 13th Annual North Country Brewfest pouring wine. He got to hangout with a bunch of local, mostly western PA breweries. His favorite of the day was Missing Link from Ellwood City, PA - Tropical Mist IPA
Beer #3: Voodoo Brewing - Unicorn Farts NE IPA (8.2%) This one doesn’t really have enough flavor for as sought after as it was. Its smooth but not a lot of flavor to really keep you interested. 
We’ll be focusing on segments next week and some more broad beer topics with some research done.
