    I haven't been able to make it over there in a little bit but I loved the regular Piccolo. That was immediately what jumped to mind when I saw the question. Mikerphone Drop and Pale Pauper are also really well done IMO, though technically not available "right now"

    Piccolo series from Forbidden Root in my opinion.

    Have not, but I love Radio Swan. I'll check it out. Is it better than Son of Juice?

    Way, way better imo. don't get me wrong, i like son of juice as a easy store bought shelfie (heck can even get it at mariano's now!) that's easy to get when i'm craving something, but it just lacks that kinda 'hop punch' i'm usually looking for. I think right now just the mosaic one is on tap at FR, citra was the previous one, but I think a new one is coming up soonish also ? they are doing crowlers now too, so that's a good easy to go option.

    Alright, i'll check out the Mo Piccolo. With this heat wave coming through I want those low ABV crushers.

    I'll also add a vote for Mo Piccolo (I never had the original). I haven't really had many single/session NE pales that I've enjoyed, but I like MP quite a bit.

    I vote for naming it “when they go piccolo, you go high”

    No worries. I got Mo Piccolo and Assembly Required. They wouldn't let me get any Radio Swan to go though, bummer!

    Corridor/more collab peach beer is a fantastic "summer" beer. Straight peach bellini. Squeeze it is amazing as always. Heard the latter may kick tonight/tomorrow, so get to corridor if at all possible. Cheers all

    On a plus side those wide mouth cans made it really easy to drain pour the last two cans I had.


    Instead for getting Turtledogged we got Bold Dogged...

    Sounds like I should buy some of these for training my next puppy- show him how to mark his territory outside and not make bad beer....
