LOL. Nah, have been to Milan, Rome and back to Paris since. They had raccoon urine (Cantillon) on the menu tonight. I passed.

Anything from Maine Beer Co. is always excellent. One of my favorite breweries in New England.

Best fresh hops this week have been from Reach Break Brewing, by far.

Fresh new batch released Wednesday.One of my favorite North Park IPAs. Hopped with Mosaic Cryo,then DDH’d with Mosaic, Nelson and Strata. I get massive strawberry, blueberry, orange, pineapple, peach and melon notes. It’s beautifully balanced, crisp and clean with a long fruity dry finish. A great example of the “new school” take on WCIPA’s. North Park Beer Co. Mr. Hoppy. West Coast IPA, 7.1% ABV.

Highly Recommended,

Cheers,

Bud

Stopped in an out of the way package store and found a couple of dusty gems on the shelf.

2020 Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze ‘Peated’ sherry barrel - Belgium, Flanders, Beersel (10/8/2022)
The peated flavor does come through a little bit, and works well. But, overall, it mostly just comes across as an oude gueuze. Pretty high abv for the style at 10.2%.

I’m in SD next week, last professional meeting.

Beer + food recommendation?

Glen, you must hit North Park Beer Co. Sorrento in Little Italy is excellent, opens at 3pm.Dobsons downtown is a hidden gem, best mussel bisque you’ll ever have, they’re open for lunch at 11:30am

Cheers,

Bud

North Park is an Uber but I’ll go 100%, thanks!

Well worth the ride Glenn, plus there are a ton of local food places all around that part of town.

Cheers,

Green Cheek - “Playing it Loud” DDH NEIIPA: Amazingly light mouthfeel and dangerously drinkable for its 8.6% abv… Bright stone fruits, with some mid-palate hoppy bitterness. Canned on 9/28. Excellent beer, and possibly my favorite of the four or five I picked-up to try.
