Monkish Brewing (July 2017)

do ppl wait every day??

 

I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned that there is a group of people who wait in front of the brewery before opening in the hopes that there's a can release.

Whether that's true or not, I have no idea. But, beer culture being what it is, I'm leaning toward true.

 

Sadly there is a group that does exactly that, every day according to the Monkish employees.

Cheers

 

Always great seeing you Vic !
Going to let these settle for a while, especially the Tired Hands Collab.

Cheers

 

i didn't know they actually waited in line, I thought it was people waiting in the lot in their cars.

 

I can confirm... I have a lot of customers in Torrance so I am by there quite frequently... around 2-3pm daily there are about 20ish ppl just hanging in the shade in the lot just waiting

Wish I had the time to do that daily..... lol

 

So am I reading this correctly that they have separate lines for can releases and growler fills? I'm planning to stop there Friday at 1 for some growler fills and am worried there will be a can release that can slow me down.

 

Yes

 

you'd probably be jobless if that's the case ;D

 

I guess it was foolish to hope they would release yesterday or today. growlers will have to do

 

Heart Turns Cold is one of the best beers Monkish has made, you should be more than happy with that one.

Cheers,

 

I wasn't a big fan of this one - found it too boozy.

 

It is 8.6% but IMO the booze is really not decerniable at all. Its at 3 weeks right now and peaking, hit up two more fills last night before it kicks.

Cheers,

 

I don't ever recall them doing a Monday release. It means that those 2pm line laborers can at least be sure they'll be at work one day out of the week.

 

Yeah I figured Monday was unlikely but at least I got FOMO so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Just had Heart Turns Cold a few hours ago...would have passed on it had I gotten a splash of it. I just felt it didn't gel together can't really describe why not though

 

I agree 100%. Rushing radioactivity was great but I struggled through my 4 ozs of Heart Turns Cold

 

I felt that way about guided meditation, I wouldn't drink that beer again.

 

it was boozy to me

 

I can 100% understand that. Guided was a very different beer. more similar to liquid lemon candy than beer. Id love more of it / any similar beers anyone has found
