    I am definitely team Teku. Both are awesome though. Also, I must say, if anyone hasn't tried Shamm's you must. Such an easy drinking crisp beer. Was a huge fan of it on Monday.

    Love letter image for Forbidden Root. Definitely going back! [Can't make today's release, unfortunately, because... long work day. :L].

    I hear ya! This may be closer than we all think. A rousing message of support from @HouseofWortship certainly helps your case...though it sounds like you could seal the deal by maybe including a tiara with your glass? :stuck_out_tongue:

    Yep. Truck is picking it up this morning. You should expect a similar situation as the previous can releases.

    Little late on the recognition, but Monday night was dope ass time. Thanks for the good times for everyone that contributed.

    I think I'm leaning towards the bulbous pint. It reminds me of "Nordic Pint" Other Half glass I have that I really enjoy.

    Hop Gobbler all the way.

    Teku? Didn't we all realize those were a pain in the ass and impractical in 2013? :wink:

    In all seriousness though, is there a large inventory of the glasses. I can't make it tonight, but can walk over later tonight or tomorrow and pick them up.

    I think they said there's 72 of each. First to sell out wins the bet.

    I'm going to head there later tonight, maybe around 9:00pm or so. If there are still glasses remaining, then I'll vote with my wallet!

    Toro is unreal. Can't feel any hint of the alcohol. Straight up juice bomb.

    Got here well after 6pm. In and out in less than 5 minutes. Smoothest release yet. I'm told there's still plenty left. Wish I had time to stay for Toro.

    Team Teku

    Definitely digging this release style. Nowhere close to as hectic as snoochie. Lining up outside helped as well as the three pay stations. Good shit!!

    The fruited sour was unreal. Highly recommend.

    FR is doing things right :sunglasses:

    Toro is really good. I think it's the best IPA they've released so far.

    I very much enjoyed Toro but after my first sip I immediately said "you can definitely tell this is over 9%." As always, everyone's different. That being said, after my first sip, my taste buds adjusted and I could only taste juice. It was great

    I don't remember much about science, but I think he needs a control group.

    Probably just shotgun a can? You know, for science.
