Greenpoint Beer & Ale

I had it and thought it was awesome. Not too sweet at all. Best GP ale to date.

Smash Street and Instant Credibility are also good. Both remind me of Low Visibility from Magnify.

 

Instant credibility reminded me slightly of money IPA

 

Smash Street is drinking incredible right now. At 6.2% it's light and while it doesn't have the body that all these 8% hop bombs have, it definitely isn't watery. The Nelson really comes through. Had I gotten more, it definitely wouldn't be a bad thing!

 

I want to do a side by side of instant credit and Roll Call 2. Find them to be insanely similar and I know Chris was one of the Brewers at greenpoint when instant was first brewed be interesting to see if that was one of this brews and re worked it for the new beer at Gunhill. I know the hops are different and instant was brewed with some oats but find them strangely similar

 

fwiw, if you're in Manhattan, Good Beer had cans of both (Smash St. & Instant Credibility) yesterday

 

Any word on what's getting canned next?

 

And has anybody been over and tried Aptly Formula yet?

 

more cans!

I had a pint of Apply Formula last weekend and enjoyed it.

 

Thanks, I might try to get out this weekend to sample it!

Rabbit Island.... a New Zealand Pils, sounds like Grits 'n Greens!

 

Has anyone been there recently? Are any of the two can beers on draft yet? I don't remember how either one tastes

 

This thread is awfully quiet. Just saw both cans in 4-packs and was going to buy, buuuuut $20 a 4-pack. Ouch.

 

Yep. I saw both cans at Malt and Mold for $6.50/per. No thanks.

 

Tried apply formula pretty darn good

 

I got two cans of Flannel Shirt at Good Beer for $5.49 a can a few weeks back. I paid it, it was a good beer, nothing spectacular, nothing I'm paying that much a can for again.

 

Anyone try Turbulence or Grey Matter?

 

Had grey matter, tho I found it good. Got mostly grassy notes which is something I usually pick up a lot in equinox hops the stone fruit and other characters of the hops usually fall to the wayside for me

 

I'm cross posting WBAYDN, but...I don't like making outlandish comparisons, but this is very reminiscent to Sip IMHO. So grassy it's not funny.

 

Just picked up some Turbulence, and while Sip is still a very good beer, if both Turbulence and Sip were in my fridge I would go for the former. It is fairly grassy, but I get a huge dose of mosaic which really shines. Really really good, surprised there is not more talk about this stuff.
