    Was hoping the Helles would be on this afternoon, but Chuck’s is still flowing.

    If you would kindly drink as much Chuck's as you can possibly handle so the Helles is on when I get there next week I would greatly appreciate it. :slight_smile:

    tackleberry, while decent, looked absolutely nothing like that picture... it was clear, almost copper colored when I tried it.

    Anyone try the stout? I was in and out very quickly yesterday getting a growler fill and didn't have time to stay for a few tastes.

    Tackleberry from Police Academy and it's a berry based beer?

    It was meant as good natured teasing for your hyperbolic statement but I apologize.

    The Helles is on. I think. Not sure if they didn’t flush the line or what. Doesn’t taste quite like a Helles - may need to go reassess.

    Just tried it again. Way too tart for a Helles, something’s up with it.

    LaDiDaDi is great, as always! I'm not sure what to make of Ghoulish Overkill. I don't think "Sour IPA" is a recognized style. Is it an American IPA or a Wild Ale?

    Sour IPA's have been a big thing for a while now, with Hudson Valley really making it a popular sought after style... haven't tried the TEB one yet, but I wouldn't expect it to be at that level - sounds like they are just trying to experiment with the style... I believe Ghoulish was a blend of one of their known IPAs and a kettle sour. Whether is an official "style" per whatever guidelines, I'm not sure - but neither was NEIPA until recently.

    La Di is real nice. Usually I’m not the biggest fan of coconut in beer (go figure cuz I love coconut), but it’s pretty well harmonized in here. I think the coffee and roast help to balance it out nicely
