You should try this solid Denver offering @Chris, it's delicious

Sunday - Monday - Tuesday

Recent ones from me too.
Jester King and Green Bench Brewing Beachtimez Sportzketball.
Grisette inspired farmhouse ale refermented with loquats. Ideal summer beer for me.

Live Oak Big Bark.
Always good, had to try out the canned version. Hoping Live Oak continues to can more of their beers.

Goose Island Juliette.
Really impressed with this, tart and sour without being too sweet. I'll have to try the other variants.

Need that JULIET… How much does it cost over there, Bro?..

[Broark]

I think the Juliet was around 18-20 dollars, but I took advantage of the Central Market beer week and got it last night along with a sixer of Big Bark. Came out to 27 dollars in total!

Drinking this tonight, a bit mediocre. Nothing special…

Would've guessed raspberry, would've guessed 8%.

Thank you, Crooked Stave, for this superb 12% OA blueberry sour.

^ looks and sounds ace!

This was so hilariously bad. Everything that's wrong with a lot of newer  ipa/dipa. Over hopped, dry hopped, wet hopped, and 1293 different types of hop does not make for a "hop explosion" it makes for a nasty hop smell in your sink after you ditch the stuff for tasting shite.

A better IPA. Solid offering from a new Norwegian brewery. I'd buy it again.

[neph93]

I've been off IPA's for a while but some decent ones from Garage Project turned me on to the hops again.

Seriously tempting fate with the 3rd one but whaddya know, it's the winner. Neither crisp, nor dry; but dirty, sweet, resinous and citrusy. Different in a good way.

[Broark]

So turns out that this was absolutely delicious.
The vanilla and coconut were very subdued, and it just makes sense with the strawberries.
Might grab another bottle.

Finishing off with a Brazilian Porter for the Welsh game. Hoping a bit of S. American magic rubs off on Bale and the boys.

Cymru am byth!

2 in the afternoon and I opened one of these in support of the Belgian team.
Hops and Grain continues to can some really good beer. This one is a fresh kölsch.

Two quite unique IPAs. The ReDANKulous is…well...dank. Musky citrus with a bit of malt. The Tasmanian is far more bright. Citrus and slightly floral.. quite crisp

[neph93]

Hope that Redankulous makes it out to Norway some day. We get some Founders stuff, but I get the impression it's standard fare.

[neph93]

For some reason I buy this stuff about every other month. Each time I crack a bottle I expect it to be awesome and each time it's just OK. Am a just spoiled? I know beer nerds who rave about everything that comes out of this Abbey but for me, while it's never bad it's never great either…

Their Christmas beer is sensational, I think it's better than Stille Nacht (awaiting abuse from @Seul )

There you go. I'm not one to be snobbish or elitist, and I'm all for the uncritical, naive enjoyment of things, but I thought the Xmas beer was vaguely disappointing. I suspect I need to turn my expectations down from "11".

I've had several beers from St. Bernardus (the 6, 8, 12, Christmas and Wit) and they're all good, but I didn't consider any to be remarkable.  But then, I've got pretty erratic preferences in beer…

You're a bald, ginger Mansfield twat. Nothing I say could make it worse for you.
