More Brewing Co. (StB) - (2018)

This won't help you much but as of Saturday at Noon DDHD was 1 crowler per. Climbing through Windows was limit 3pp. Both beers were excellent but I thought Windows was better (I actually like some bitterness in my pale ales....).

 

No more crowlers for DDH Dusty but the new Simcoe/Columbus IPA is on for crowlers and there are drafts of watermelon Sourenity. Anyone try the new IPA today?

 

I didn't but last night had the watermelon sour. It was a straight watermelon jolly rancher. Pretty cool beer

 

Agreed. It went down easy enough, but it's sticking around a little too long for my liking. I wouldn't recommend using as a palette cleansing beer.

 

Went to More last night. It was Slammed around 8PM, per usual. DDH Dusty had run out. Climbing through windows had some mild tropical flavors and a bit of a 'lighter' finish, especially for a 7.8%. Still enjoyed it. The Sourenity Now! (Watermelon) is basically a watermelon jolly rancher. There's no other way to describe it. And Smog Strangler has some nice pineapple and lemon aroma and initial taste, but definitelly finishes with a dank, grassy end. Descent mounthfeel on that one. Smog Strangler is supposed to be a NE inspired IPA with NW hops, and I think it delivers. It's an NE IPA with a NW twist at the end. Glad I tried them all (and enjoyed them) but I prefered some of the previous offerings, especially DDH Dusty I had a week earlier at More.

 

Alright...lets get in line.

 

That label is so sexy!

 

Talk about something different for your first stout out of the gates....im actually pretty excited about this one. I love some adjuncts and this has plenty!

 

And if anyone knows Shaun's stouts, he knows what he's doing with adjuncts. Really excited for this. I've heard it's going to be closer to the end of the month.

 

And it begins.... are these in bombers?

 

I've never had his stouts (or any of his beer until a month ago) so this sounds great. Although at least based on desc it sounds like a Neopolitan Milk Stout, which is good albeit in small quantities (I'd be diabetic after 3-4).

 

The label?

 

Definitely not a milk stout....

 

Some of Shaun's beers at the Ram were on the sweeter side (CocoNilla, Meh-he-coco come to mind) but they were all fantastic with awesome mouthfeel. The stouts were my favorite style of beer he brewed while at Ram. I expect nothing less with Henna.

 

I was very underwhelmed with the first batches from More, but @edbeerd grabbed me a crowler of Crawling Through Windows...and I was pleasantly surprised. It's still not in the same class as Juicy, but it's moving in that direction. Nice orange citrus flavors & a soft, pleasantly pillow-y mouthfeel.

 

Looks like Henna is being released this Saturday at 11am!

Think there will be a large group of people attending this one.

 

Thinking an 8 a.m. arrival time should suffice.

 

They mentioned on fb that the limit may be determined by the line. It would be nice if they used the SP model so people that line up at 10:50 get the same amount. Hopefully that will cut down on as many people showing up 4 hours early, like the RAM releases turned in to.

 

I kind of enjoyed the way they did some of the Side Note releases. Early people in line had an option of buying 2 bottles pp, while those close to the back were limited to 1. Rewards the people that show up early.

Anyone know if More allows bottle sharing?

 

They have made no statement on it. The first release there were some groups of people sharing but sort of secretly. I think as long as it is under control and not over the top then it is fine.
