Chicagoland NE IPAs (2018)

That’s the underlying subtext, or ennui motif, of the entire evening.

 

Fancy shit. Look at you go, making me look stuff up again.

 

Stop

 

Your post got cut off, so I restored it for you.

 

There was a beezer variant at their beer fest a while back that was super good. Trying to remember what it was...

 

They're so inconsistent and overpriced. I used to look forward to trying new Transient. But virtually the last 4-5 offerings I've purchased have all been sub-par to downright bad. I'm done with them.

 

I think they know the market feels that way and are going back to the original recipe for this reason.

I’ll also add that the most recent batch of Mind to Devour was spot on. As good as anything I’ve had from them

 

the latest batch of Son of Juice is fantastic. its in the shiny cans. believe canning date was 12/3.

they have come a long way and the price point is great.

 

The Roger Effect

 

It’s not brewed by roger. That stuff is brewed at great state.

 

Great Central...but I often confuse Great Central and Central State, too.

 

Doesn't matter. The Roger Effect implies that simply by being part of a brewery, in the past, present or future, they will see a dramatic improvement in the quality of their beers at all levels. How else do you explain FR/Corridor/Monkish?

 

Wait why is Monkish in this list? I assume you meant Maplewood?

 

It'll all make sense in ten years.... I'll just say invest in Elon Musk's time travel company when they go public.

 

I get you are joking but the Roger Effect on Monkish would be a downgrade.

 

How do you think they got so good from out of nowhere?

 

Horus Aged Ales - Osprey Fresh Catch 5 at Binny’s LP.

Fresh batch of Le Jus there as well.

(Passed on both)

 

super cryo crag from marz is a sleeper. tropical nose, nice hop presence and is too easily consumed.

worth seeking out
