Monkish Brewing Co.

Wish I would've known about this one. Had the day off and I saw on Twitter that there wasn't much of a line if any at all

 

Just figured you knew the exact number since you log and track on UNTAPPD ... which seriously, I really do love that app

 

*opens app*
*checks speedway*
*sighs*
*closes app in embarrassment*

 

LMAO - yeah you pretty much live there

 

so how many times?, not including the variants

 

I've checked in regular speedway surprisingly only about 10ish times.
I've checked in BASS a tad over 100, but that is over all the years I have drank.
RBAVSS is currently the top variant at a nice 41. Painful for it to have been available on draft for almost a full year since release. #firstworldbeernerdproblems

This is also assuming I remember to check in, which tends to not happen at shares past the 2hr mark, won't happen when grabbing a quick bottle before going out for the evening, and tends to only happen about half the time I am at a brewery. So based on that, I will make the assumption that the # of checkins should be much higher and I should be even more embarrassed

 

I only check in new beers for the most part, otherwise I'd be pretty depressed seeing how much I drink.

 

So you don’t drink monkish beers (majority being hazy) and you don’t enjoy hazy beers in general. Why do you comment in the monkish forum?

 

Also... just FYI if you all haven't checked the site. Year of the Juice is back on tap.

 

They have a barrel-aged imperial stout on tap today. That's different.

 

Had it yesterday, very well done BBA stout! Very simple and straightforward BA stout without all the adjuncts.

 

I was there around 4pm yesterday, saw it, but opted only to try the hops. Should have gotten a taste of this one though.

 

The BA stout is one of the best non-adjunct BA stouts I’ve ever had. I was blown away. Going tomorrow to get more. Praying they bottle it!

 

Looking forward to the new batch of Bomb Atomically ! I'll be there tomorrow for fills.

Cheers,

 

I actually liked their non barrel stout a little more than the BBA stout... but I am also nursing a little cold so take it for what it’s worth

 

Yes, I don't do Monk beers (anymore).
I do enjoy hazy beers in general.
Because I can.
Cheers....

 

FWIW, Matt and Sam have been doing their thing for years - even in the Greenpoint Brewing days they were brewing stupid big hoppy beers - so while they've been totally dialed into their thing for some time, it's a thing that a palate trained on Monkish beers might not immediately recognize or latch onto. Try trading for Green Diamonds or All Green Everything if you haven't had those yet. Plus, you know, Hip Hop inspired beer names blah blah blah...

 

Here to echo the acclaim for Deepest Darkness. Holy shit that was good and dangerously drinkable for 14%!

 

As an untappd user. IMO 4.25 is pretty high in terms of drinkability, taste and deciding to pursue more of it.
