    Stopped by last night and had the burger and a Radio Swan. It was divine.

    Was in last night. I got lit off of half the menu. To my delight there was Night Moth. I also had the root beer ale and that was prob. the one that I enjoyed the most unexpectedly. Shamm's was lovely. A good "watching sports" beer. I didn't really care for the Marz NEIPA. That is all

    Was at Forbidden Root last night and I can't get over how good that new version of Radio Swan is. It's incredible. Somehow between me and another person we drank 10 of them and I feel great today. So it's also hangover proof.

    That's all nice and good, but I'd gladly endure a hangover for some TORO! cans! :wink:

    Brings up an interesting question... if someone made a non-alcoholic NEIPA that tasted great and was appropriately priced in 16oz cans, would you drink a lot of it?

    Edit: I’m still laughing at the idea of an Odoul’s NEIPA

    ...does it have electrolytes?

    I wouldn't.

    I would however drink a lot of a session NE IPA if it would have the full body and hoppiness of regular NE IPA.

    I would drink it. After a couple regular beers have a non-alcoholic NE IPA. I actually enjoy corridors lower ABV NE IPAs (5%) more than the 7%ers.
