    Their racer is a killer brew. I just hooked up with a case of 12 bombers of their red rocket ale, which I’ll be reviewing soon. Not sure why, but it was on sale for $19.99 — great stuff. Cheers, and Happy New Year.

    Happy NY 2 U 2 homie.

    I think Bear Republic is my favorite brewery across the board. That’s a damn good price on the Red Rockets, nice find…
