Forbidden Root (2018)

Beer share / costume party / jackolantern carving? Pumpkin beers?

 

Sorry if I missed it; is this a can release?

 

Yes.

 

Well...gotta try this place. Off to go try Forbidden Root. You've whet my palate for this place...cheers all.

 

Interesting joint. Of course....they are out of Radio Swan. Enjoying the wildflower pale. Nice...

 

Night Moth and Ghost Tropic are the other NEIPAs.

 

Exactly- go for NM and GT...

 

Already on the n moth. Solid. Next up? You guessed it. The food is bangin! Salad...lamb ribs from heaven...burger next. Awesome.

 

Great share last night. Good work. It was good meeting you all. A special thanks to @BJP and @KrajDoesBeer for the hospitality. I still can't believe we blew through all that beer in such a short time. Looking forward to the next one.

 

It was our pleasure to host the bottle share last night. Thanks to YOU all for making it happen. I truly enjoy being around folks who are passionate about beer.

Got some updates for tomorrow...

First off, here is the glassware that will be for sale tomorrow. We thought we would have some fun and pick out two options.



Above is my choice, affectionately known as the "Hop Gobbler". This phat, bulbous and substantial vessel is clearly the superior option as it holds all 16oz of these juice bombs.


And here we have @KrajDoesBeer 's option. As you can see it's just a fucking teku.

Priced at $5 and $9, respectively. (as always, all profits from merch go to charity)

Vote with your dollars.


Next,

Oh boy do we have a surprise for you. After you buy all your shit come to the bar for...

TORO! - a Triple IPA that is triple dry-hopped 9.2%abv


This is our first crack at what will become a very special can release. It's so good that we are pushing through a keg for the event tomorrow. It officially goes on tap Thursday by 4pm. No growlers available on 8/30 but they will be available once we officially tap it on 8/31.

Hops: A thoughtful blend of our very best

It's fucking huge in every way. And since I'm tired of typing, here's how I would distill my thoughts on it:

 

Damn both of those glasses are sweet as hell. And TORO! sounds awesome. Hope to see some of you all tomorrow.

 

i vote based on whether the glass fits on the top shelf of the dishwasher

sorry, but you lose this time brian . . .

 

I also like the Red vs Blue/Crips vs Bloods aspect to this turfwar for glassware supremacy. Tekus can be sexy, but I feel like beer dudes will pick the big ass glass 10 times out of 10.

 

The Hop Gobbler is a sexy glass with the heft on it, I'd probably use it as my go to pint glass replacement, but I'm not putting an NEIPA in anything that doesn't have a stem- point teku....

 

Weren't you the model they used for the bull on the Toro can? No one is more excited about beer....

 

A Teku fits on top rack every time.

I will win this competition so easy it's not funny.... Teku is fire...(I love both glasses)

see you all tomorrow!

 

I easily have 75 plus beer glasses. Only anoit 5 don't have a stem! I think the beer dudes will go the Teku way! Plus the ladies love it!
