Tropication-Hardywood Park Craft Brewery
From Untappd:
"Smooth, bright, and super juicy, Tropication is an exotic escape from the daily grind. This mouthwatering India pale ale features Centennial, Citra, Mosaic, and Hallertau Blanc hops, lending a juicy drinkability to this full bodied IPA."

I only had a sip or two (purchased it mostly for my BIL), but Hardywood’s Fightin’ Hokie lager is not bad. Not bad at all.
"Amazing what a minute can do."

Bunches & Bunches-Casita Brewing Company, a collaboration with Incendiary Brewing Company
From Untappd:
"Bunches & Bunches was brewed with a variety of Malts, Toasted Walnuts, Cacao Nibs, Vanilla, and a very Expressive Yeast modified to produce a Banana Flavor. Guess how much we love you? Bunches & Bunches!"

Thanks, DD, I did search it but under wrong name so my seek became a sought with no find; thus, the ask. I shall report on my tastes as I drink my way north. Back to school live this morning after over a year online. It’s a good thing.
Hardywood Baltic Sunrise: Basically a deeper, richer version of Uinta’s Baba black lager. Malty, chocolatey, tasty.

Founders Mas Agave Prickly Pear
I’m not sure I have ever had this. It’s amazing. I taste a lot of similarities to New Glarus Belgian Red. A little more brown/amber in the color. A little more pink tinge to the head (which lasts a long time). Similar flavor profile and depth. Just a terrific beer.

Do they sell that Richmond brew in Winston Salem?
