    Drinking a power trip right now. (Not the most refreshing beer after walking here from the loop) BUT it is delicious. Alcohol is so well hidden. Just a juice bomb. Please for the love of god can this. It is just as good if not better than most Trill and Treehouse I've had.

    Can't comment on how it's cleaned up over the last week but it's tasting pretty perfect right now.

    Thanks to @KrajDoesBeer for the side-sample of FR Power Trip at Corridor tonight, Power Trip is even better now than when released last Friday... lost its raw edge, coming into its own. Nicely carbonated, great profile, hoppy but balanced, just awesome. Disguises its punches like Sugar Ray. [That's high praise for you youngins].

    just came here to say the Forbidden Root hop gobbler Nordic Pint glass has become my favorite glass to drink beer out of.

    yea there is, from the menu:
    Dank aromatics with a touch of creamy bright fruit. Starts out sweet and juicy but finishes dry with an echo of Rye complexity. *Contains Lactose

    Thank you, Had it yesterday, very well done, but my stomach didn't agree.
    Might just have to grab some Lact-Aid Pills!

    really stoked that Night Moth is getting the next can release. absolutely love this one. really excited for how this will transfer in cans, as i think the tap version has evolved over time as it was also resting in oak?

    Scored a 4 pack of Radio Swan at Open Bottle this evening. That was unexpected to see on the shelf for sure. Kudos to them for doing one 4 pack per. Probably the only reason I got there in time. Finishing one off right now. Really well done beer. I do like the tweaks from this version better than prior pours I had over the summer.

    I prefer the last batch of Radio Swan to this most recent batch. From start to finish it just went together better IMHO. To each their own I suppose.
