    Im pretty sure they are planning to make it a regular thing--like the house sour. This from the gang down at Smog. Porter's comment (joking of course) was something like "we'd have it all the time if people didn't keep buying it!" Give this place time to grow, and look out.

    Also, I'd agree with earlier poster that fruit presence in CBug was
    stronger in bottle, at least as of last week when I (sadly/joyously) drank my last one.

    I've only ever had it on draft, which had a pretty pronounced fruit presence. So if it's stronger in the bottle....oh my.

    I dropped a bottle on the floor and it shattered/spilled all over the tile... the whole kitchen smelled like apricots and peaches!

    Ended up stopping at Vendome Toluca Lake. It was $5.50 there. Still worth it. This batch tastes better than I remember.

    I thought it was a brewery release too. But had to make sure. Thanks.

    Cuddlebug was still available for a few days after the release but it is long gone now.

    Batch 2 should be coming out soon I hope, I want to compare that with my first batch bottles I have remaining.

    I wonder if there's going to be more or about the same. Does anyone know if this Batch 2 is aged longer or it's roughly the same as Batch 1?

    Said it before and I'll say it again. This batch of Amarilla Gorilla is delicious.
    Was there on Saturday night and had a couple pours and bought another bottle to take home.
    California Love will be back soon also.
    Their Sour Brown and Cuddlebug v.2 is on the way also. Gonna be a good couple months at Smog.
