Very nice, @Chris . Good to have you back, sharing your beer with us, again…

Another new brewery for me. Phase Three, out of Chicago's NW burbs. Lovely porter…..

You sure you don’t want to trade for one of my Milkshake IPAs?

@Jett129:

Man, as much as I'd love to try one of everything, that is one rabbit hole I really don't need to go down. I've had this conversation with @Sage954 , as well. When you figure in the costs of the beer and shipping, you wind up paying vastly more than the beer is worth. It's a damned shame, we supposedly live in the land of the free, and we can't even get every beer we want.

For whatever reason the state of NJ just doesn’t get a lot of the beer and bourbon I would like to try. Fortunately my son will be driving up from Florida next week,and he’ll be bringing me a few beers that he found for me down there. All the Goose Island Bourbon county beers come out next Friday and they have one that’s been aged in Weller bourbon barrels. I’m guessing that will probably be in the $20 per bottle range. Hope you can find one and drink it for me.

French burgundy and pinot noir BA stout. This is absolutely fantastic. Northern Monk Patrons Project 24.03, "Ghost Venom".

Freigeist- Ur Gose

Historical recreation of a german Gose Original from Goslar.
With spruce twigs, cinnamon, wormwood and salt.
Like it. Smells like spruce and taste like a salty Gose.

[Sage954]

Neph thanks for translating. I didn’t see pine needles on that label.
Scooter keep an eye out for Civil Society. We just got our first drop in Maryland.
Both are very good

Thought I'd take a flyer on this, but it was underwhelming.

@Chris:

I quite liked it. I'm just getting started, when it comes lambics and the american versions thereof, though. If pressed for a description, I'd say, I liken it to a somewhat funky, earthy, sour, overripened pear. I was able to get my hands on a bottle of 3F. I'll be enjoying that on Thanksgiving Day. It'll be interesting to get a greater sense of the style…
