    Damnit, yup. 7/16. Good catch.

    Note: Beer affects the memory.

    I just bought a 2nd 4pk of FK&M, hoping it still holds. Few of the cans are going to friends in NY.

    It's actually one of the better NEIPAs I've had in recent memory.

    Bought 2, 4-packs of Fire, Skulls, & Money - & 2 4-packs of King Sue @ Kappy's in Norwell for twenty dollars per four-pack. Great brew, but way too much money.

    I agree it’s expensive but not compared to average market prices for “top shelf” DIPAs unfortunately

    This is more FSM and KS then I’ve been able to get in the largest Iowa metro market.

    I stopped in Julio's today as I was in the neighborhood and found Pseudo Sue at 60+ days from canning which is about two weeks more than I'd prefer. There were two other brands in there as well, one from June and one from April. I passed on all. Guess that was a short lived love affair.

    Edit: they also had Sosus which was tempting, but not at $15.

    I wish Pesudo were fresher; bought one four pack that I found at Whole Foods that was less than a month old and it was great. But everything else I've seen recently has been from May.

    Same here, everything I've seen is old.

    8/5/18 seems to have been the last canning run on PS that's been on the shelves here. Was pretty tasty, Much better than the shite from early July.

    How was it? Big line? Was the beer good?

    Got there at 6. My wife and myself not got a pour ($10/4oz pour). The keg kicked around 6:10

    Mornin' Delight was good but didn't live up to the hype for me. I'm just glad I was able to try it without giving up a bunch of Trill & TH bottles.

    This might have been the most efficient post ever on Beeradvocate.

    Hot Take®: TG needs a mid-tier stout

    Not from a business perspective, like...at all, cause why bother when you can sell $100 bottles like hotcakes but...I want a $20 bomber of something that's better than Rover Truck

    Wasn't as busy as I expected. About 35 or so people in line when they opened. Everybody had a pour within about 15 minutes. I thought the beer was excellent, lived up to the hype for me. First pour was in a tiny little taster glass, 2nd pour was in a bigger glass (same amount of beer) but because of the glass, the beer felt fuller, better mouthfeel. Tons of maple on the nose.

    Comparing it to Good Morning, I felt it was right there with maybe a slightly more bitter finish. My wife liked it better than Good Morning. My brother felt Good Morning was better but Mornin Delight was sweeter. So, we had differing opinions but all agreed it was excellent.

    Has the most recent batch of King Sue been popping up? Anyone try one?

    Nice that they’re doing so many tap events for this. Hoping they do the same with one of their barrel aged stouts sometime
