There's so many sexy beers in the craft beer universe these days sometimes ya just need to pay homage to the classics, and IMHO, and most likely Mr. Grafstrom's, there is ...

This latest release really showcases Henry's brilliance of coaxing out layers of flavors and aromas from a single hop.There's rip...

Seeing this resell for $150 a bottle is laughable. Glad to see you didn’t get robbed at secondary. The buzzkill of the first sip of a $150 IPA must be earth shattering for those who paid anywhere near that price. First time I had it during a release for under $10 for a pint I ordered Blind Pig and ...

Made a North Park run today which means restocking this amazing west coast IPA. Aroma's and flavors of candied citrus, peach gummy rings, sweet red grapefruit and ...

This was delightful, still had delicious notes of coffee, chocolate, vanilla and tobacco, bottle courtesy of Mr. French, thank you Frenchy !

Cheers,

Bud

your Funny Papers note sounds more tropical than I typically most-prefer, but I cannot imagine a circumstance where I don't love a Monkish DDH with that hop bill. Will probably open one later tonight. As for that TIPA: yeah, that'll be a sipper! There is a nice kick of citrus to keep the Galaxy und...

cans available on Monkish website right now. I tell ya', it's *really nice* to have Monkish back in my life! I love how this is no longer a FOMO situation. What a fantastic double can release today, lots of Nelson driven hop bills ! Stoked you've re- discovered the new user friendly Monkish [cheers...

Yea ! a completely new recipe from Henry that's heavy on the Nelson. This pours a beautiful hazy yellow-orange with an inch of compact tiny bubbles. Expressive...

One of the bright spots from last year was me discovering and delving deep into the North Park portfolio. Their Party Cup may be the best craft Lager I've had and th...

Arright, Bud ... so here's the thing: I can see how you thought Joint Force Kobra would be up my alley --- first and foremost, because you're right. [wink.gif] At 7.1%, this is in my perfect abv. range. Hop bill is Motueka, Citra, and Simcoe. I've spoken of my appreciation for Motueka when it's use...

Really opens up after sitting out of the fridge for a good 20-25 minutes !!

Din din sounds amazing

Monkish has a live offer right now. First time i actually snagged one of these online dealios. Joint Force Kobra is one damn fine west coast hazy IPA, the epitome of a hybrid. Glad you finally were able to snag some can's, it's really pretty simple as cans are lasting for days. Cheers, Bud I grabbe...

https://i.imgur.com/DtiCVY3l.jpg After seeing Andrews post on this one I thought it was time to check in on this baby and see how it's doing. The mouth feel of Monkish beers lately has been incredible, soft, pillowy and light as a feather and this mouth feel is soft and creamy. This features mostly...

Vacation Trips - TIPA. Have to admit they make a great triple. Love this beer, Its Nelson heavy which makes me a happy camper, hides the alcohol so well. Cheers, Bud You've been a Nelson groupie for years; I searched out the Alpine Nelson because of your posts! So true, and Nelson is so polarizing,...

Monkish Intersections This release was very strange.This is the third name they've given this beer. When it was called 2-1 & Lewis it sold out in less than an hour, same when It was called Fairfax and Olympic,I dunno, maybe it was the new can art or name but this stuck around for almost a week,...

BTW, Tim, RRBC's "Supplication" and "Consecration" are both constantly on shelves everywhere out here. Same near you, or no? I seem to recall you saying one of them is your favorite --- if you're interested, and are willing to pay cost + shipping, I can send some to you next tim...

How old is this? My wife picked up some in Ireland several years ago. Don’t think I ever opened any. Tim, this was bottled in May 2020, it was in a perfect drinking window.

Well, hell ... if they are seriously lasting for "days" now, I guess I can hit refresh on their page once a day in an effort to catch something. I am not on Twitter, I don't monitor Insta, and have no interest in doing either just to get some beer. I will, however, click a button once a d...

Very cool, Bud! I'm going to pick one little nit, though: Monkish beers aren't really "available" in the practical sense of the word. I'll counter and say that Monkish beers have never been more easy to obtain. The online releases last for days now, I get more Monkish now than ever before...

https://i.imgur.com/5KhWmNTl.jpg Monkish Brewing Co. Insert Hip Hop Reference Here, TIPA, 10.1% ABV. Hopped entirely with Galaxy hops, collaboration with Trillium Brewing Co. This is the latest iteration in this ongoing collaboration series with Trillium and it's by far the best. There's only a han...

Arrow Lodge - "Arrowmatic" DIPA A West Coast DIPA with Citra and Mosaic, the Mosaic being obvious. I love the Mosaic hop --- its bright, bouncy, voice resonates with me. 8%, so not terribly strong for a double, and it is downright delicious! Drinks light than it is. 10/10 beer for me. And...

KRBC - "Citra" DIPA My first time with this beer --- never did have a chance to try it when it was all the rage. Just about done with my first can now, and I have to say, I get it. This is a damn good West Coast double. Bitter, but not like chewing a pine branch. Scary-easy to drink at 8%...

This is the second iteration in the Just One Thing series following the world class Nelson release a couple months ago. This pours a gorgeo...

Cool beans, Bud. A Nelson-hopped West Coast IPA I recently enjoyed was Brewery X's "First Anniversary" "Slap & Tickle". You tried that one? It is *not* their normal "Slap & Tickle." I've really enjoyed most of what I've tried from Brewery X so far --- will defi...

Glad you liked the FCD, Bud! Sounds like you're not as high on it as I am, and that's cool ... curious why you say "not enough Nelson," as I think it screams Nelson. Maybe not white wine-esque enough? p.s.: 48 hr. Swami's sounds like flirtysmile Brian, it's really hard to single out a spe...

Beachwood did another canning of 28 Haze Later. Quite happy to see 4 pack price now $12.99, as opposed to the $14.99 I recall from the past. Almanac - "First Class Delivery" NEIIPA --- took a flyer on this 4-pack ($22 had me pretty cautious) because it's labelled as being dry-hopped with ...

Hey, Bud! Hope you're doing well these days. :) You really need to find that Almanac "First Class Delivery" --- I found mine at TW. Totally in your wheelhouse, for all the obvious reasons. Funny you mention Sabro, too, as being a disappointment. As for another hop I mentioned in my post -...
