Monkish Brewing (June 2017)

"

 

What? No Tupac lyrics for his Birthday? pffffft, there goes that street cred.

 

They actually are 2Pac lyrics. But they picked a song that's not on his Greatest Hits so they get SUPER STREET CRED!!!!!11!!1

 

do they ever have growler fills of the CANNED brews?

 

YES, they DO, on OCCasiON.

 

You won't find it on the day, or even the next few days after the release. But they have done that in the past with stuff like Foggy windows. where they released the can and about a week or two later it would be up for surprise growler fill.

Though, honestly, the growler fills that aren't canned are tasty as any of the canned stuff. It just gets no love because you can't razzle off a growler fill as easily.

 

Agree 110% with this.

Cheers

 

and hat do you know, swap meets, a can from a couple of weeks ago, popped up for draft today.

 

But not for growlers unfortunately.

Cheers,

 

Hmmmmmmm.

 

No thanks.

 

Why not? It's monkish and omnipollo. It's a chocolate milkshake! I bet everyone will buy it and send it to hoppy_floppy in a free care package who's in love with both of those breweries. It's a win win. Plus the hazebros can mix it with their lunch ables while they wait in line.

 

Did you try Shploing?

I'll pass.

 

Is that a beer or a sexual position? Either way, no I haven't

 

Apologies in advance if this has been discussed before, or if any hazebros get offended, but has anyone else noticed that Monkish IPAs are all extremely similar in taste? So much so that I believe there are 6 different beers or so total that just keep getting re-named and released? I have tried probably 12 different IPAs from Monkish and except for the one or two, they taste identical. Am I trippin?

 

I can't speak to Monkish specifically but Cellarmaker, Treehouse, Trillum, Other Half, 3 Floyd's etc. all have a "house flavor" and are separated by subtle nuances. I think that's just how it goes

 

I'm convinced they brew the exact same beer for all of their double IPAs and just change around some of the dry hops. But if it ain't broke, no need to fix it.

 

No you're not tripping. It's mostly a galaxy hop forward as a primary ingredient, then typically a one hop swap. #mindblown

 

Disagree re: Trillium. In fact, the differences between beers is what sets them pretty far apart from the rest of the pack, in my view.

 

Hmm interesting. I think the consistent use of the Columbus hop in most of their flagships gives me that similarity. But I really don't mean it as a criticism anyways.
