    Drinking a Whale Watching now. It’s great. Lot of hops in it and they all shine.

    Got a 4 pack of whale watching from Gowanus location. Super solid!

    I still feel like there’s room for improvement for COVID purchasing - I don’t know what that is but it exists

    The only way they can improve on delivering beer right to your house is if someone comes into your house and pours the beer in your mouth for you (while wearing PPE of course).

    Haha, now you sound like Ronny Chieng in his netflix special, though a sentiment expressed by many I'm sure!

    The moment when you realize that you're showering/shaving for the first time in a few days because the UPS guy is delivering beer and needs your signature...

    Got my finback order, and gotta agree with this. I wish I got more than 1 4 pack.

    Yeah I’m a big fan. Got 3 x 4 packs in total. What I wish though is that I hadn’t listened to hot take hype boi (won’t say his name but it rhymes with arghthisbeerack-proctology) hadn’t persuaded me to buy a 4 pack of fields of tall grass. Although as I understand it, it was great straight off the bat - it now tastes like a coconut went out on the piss, had ten pints of carling and a lamb vindaloo, and then took a shit in a beer can.

    There's definitely something a little weird about it.... so you're saying that giving it time isn't going to help? I wished I'd stocked up on Whale Watching, too.

    I dunno who hyped them up, but save them for the next meetup and I'll take them.

    Hahahaha, i was intrigued by the early reviews, but I actually went to the Cerebral Brewing in Denver and the results were....not good to put it nicely.

    I had a 4 beer flight of IPAs which all had > 4 on untappd and i don’t know the standards of Denverites but they were some of the worst beers I’ve ever had, honestly would rather drink Bud Light my entire life over any selection of Cerebral beers, so yeah that one was a non-starter.

    Man, Fields of Tall Grass might be the most crushable 8%er I've had in a while.

    I want to know that you’re not joking here. If someone else loves this, it will bring me good that I can knock down the last 3 cans.

    I crushed 2 tonight. I love this beer. The coconut has definitely become more forward as it's aged, but it's tasty af

    Are you guys talking about Ultimate Beats or is Fields of Grass also a coconut beer?

    Coconut divides a room, I like coconut so I like sabro, I have friend who hates coconut so I will never bring any sabro IPAs over when we watch a game.
