Carlsbad, CA Pete - I've been here a few times. It's a little off the beaten path. Decent sized taproom with a pretty large selection of beers.
Burgeon Barrel Aged Dutchman's Pipe 2022 Imperial Stout - 12% ABV Pete This is unreal. Coffee, vanilla, and bourbon, in that order. A little bitterness too, and not sweet.

Burgeon Cabana Time Sour - 5.8% ABV Pete A little tart, but this is definitely more of a fruit beer than a sour. Quite refreshing. Could drink this all day.

Burgeon Dream State New England IPA - 6.3% ABV Pete This beer has 4 different hops in it. Sometimes that is just doing too much, but not here. Incredible. Light body and very citrusy - really, really easy to drink.

Burgeon Dutchman's Pipe Imperial Stout - 10.3% ABV Pete This is incredible. It smells heavily of vanilla. The vanilla is there in the flavor too but it's more of an accent to bitter dark chocolate. Unreal.

Burgeon Perpetual Burst New England IPA - 6.4% ABV Pete Pretty dank, which I love. Also creamy and a little juicy. That all would be an unreal beer, but it has an odd sweetness to it that keeps it from standing out too much.
