    Same for me CM > Monkish > OH as the got warmer the Monkish and CM both were interchangeable for me as #1 but initial impression was CM over Monkish. The OH one had a bit of a metallic smell but not taste, I saw someone saying their can they opened recently compared to a picture of one the week they bought was oxidizing, so who knows. Maybe I should have opened one sooner?
    This batch of Forever Simcoe is delightful

    The Space Broccoli is fire. Had to resist a second can of it last night so went for a cream on the outside green on the inside instead (also great this batch)

    I'm doing dry January so this was my last haul for a while. 2x Space Broccoli, 1x Triple Mylar, and 1x Cream/Green.

    This, but I think i've decided I am not going to buy any cans or anything for most of January, unless it something I really really want. Just slowly drink what I have now and save myself some money.

    Anti- pastryboiz, be on the lookout for Sixpoint Master Blend, they had previously done small batches of this, but now there is a version out in distribution. OG and Jameson barrel small batches were fantastic, hopefully distributed version is great too.

    Is space broccoli going to last until Sunday or did that ship sail with the truck to Maryland?

    Stopped in yesterday...Multi-Chroma is delightful. The W'Us is good, but 4 oz was more than enough for me. On My 15 is one of the better Roc beers I have had.

    The Roc beers have been pretty damn impressive lately. Last night I had cans of Multi Chroma, Plates on Plates, and Mashed Potato Beach Sunrise, and they were all fantastic. Really seems that they're dialed in up there.

    I saw that but I haven’t found it anywhere near me yet.

    Although I support anyone wanting to take a month or so off, I’m with you on this. 99% of the time, I have a completely dry period from late afternoon Sunday through around 5 or 6 on Friday and that seems to do the trick for keeping the drinking down. Too many good things constantly coming out to give up a whole month!

    Damn! That is an aspirational level of self control. Before I had kids (2016) I probably drank more overall, but also had more dry days. These days I drink more regularly but less at a time (usually just one on weekdays). I don’t drink Mondays. Usually not Tuesdays. The rest of the week is fair game. For 2020 I’m aiming to include Wednesdays as well.

    Why the fuck is there a line today. I was out doing stuff so figured I’d grab space Broccoli now while I was out and bam it’s 2017 all overs
