Andrew - Well, you can get the good stuff in Washington now... Bud - Eric from Monkish stopped by the Brewery today and mentioned your name. I gave him a little care package for you...

Made a quick trip to Rare Barrel after dinner last night, as their blog stated Hill Farmstead was in the lineup of guest beers. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. But plenty of other guest beers were available, as well as the first ever can release by TRB. CA7D2517-06A9-4013-BC2F-1F1919E37157.jpe...

Agreed. There were some stylistic differences between the two. But when you’re 5 PtYs in, coupled with whether you got pours from a fresh cask or later in one, it’s not as easy to differentiate between the two. Regardless, neither were anything like the versions RRBC were pushing out years ago. You...

Oy!!! A bit fuzzy this morning after a night of more Pliny the Younger than expected. Turns out Russian River’s new Windsor location (huge, nice, but sterile) closes at 10PM.

I loved the 28 Haze, but I loved it for its white grapefruit presentation, along with a thinner mouthfeel than is typical for a NEIPA; so, it sounds like we may have read it differently. I can't really compare it to the previous times I've had it because it's been too long. The R.A.M.S.: I liked it...

2014 Alesmith - "Speedway" Stout Monkish - R.A.M.S. DIPA Beachwood - 28 Haze Later NEIPA 2013 Bruery - "Smoking Wood" Brian, I loved this new canning of 28 Haze, IMHO it's more pronounced, the mouth seems fuller and the beer more hoppy/juicier over-all. What do you think of R.A.M.S ? Cheers man, Bud

BRhoades

PSA ALERT: Beachwood has re-released this again in cans. I know there are a few here that love this Mosaic Galaxy and Citra 6.8% IPA. This second batch seems hoppier juicier and softer. I know.......YUM

Cheers,

Bud

Congrats Rick, from the limited HA beers I've been fortunate enough to drink I can easily see why.

We just bottled our Helles. I think that I may like it better than the Pils. We also bottled up our samples for the Oregon Beer Awards, which means I got another tasted of Lisa's Rauch Helles, which is delicious.

Stopped by u4ic Brewing in Belle Plaine, MN over the holidays. Wide range of styles, but they seem to do Germans the best. Their Schwarzbier is downright excellent, and they had a great Pils and Lager on, too. A minty barrel-aged Porter was among my favorites, which surprised me. They had a couple ...

Bud, is the line for Monkish can releases still crazy AF?

Bud, this is a cross between a Oktoberfest-style Festbier and a Vienna-style Marzen. It's OK, though I've only tried it once. I was actually in Bamberg, Germany drinking beer when this was brewed.
