    Arguably my favorite beer from Triptych Brewing, a small microbrewery in central Illinois. Glad to finally get another 4 pack of it. Gf's family member is getting married today so I guess we have pregame the ceremony. One of the few couples this year to not cancel the wedding, we'll see how it goes. A little nervous but everyone should be wearing masks. Cheers!

    I certainly don't blame yous from Illinois for heading up here to experience the paradise that is the state of Wisconsin. Meanwhile, I am going to drink this amazing Illinois beer, courtesy of @basaywhat! If you or @GrumpyGas, or whoever, is currently near Green Bay, WI, stop by my house. I will provide the beers, and will even open up a can of tuna for you to eat. I got all the time in the world, so for now I am just chilling.

    Looks like you are seeing some of the lunar ejections as well :wink:

    Sounds like a good idea!

    I'll include this one, Bohemian Pilsner tasting - von Trapp Pilsner versus Ocelot's Rhapsodic.
    [​IMG]

    von Trapp's is a little older, but also more mild and straightforward. Ocelot's has more hop presence and is more bitter. The flavor profiles are fairly similar, while there a little more pepper in Rhapsodic's nose.

    I can't quite choose one or the other in this tasting. Leaning slightly towards Rhapsodic, but there's something a little more challenging about it. So I can't not say I'm not against von Trapp. What?!?

    I think this beer is still figuring out its identity. IPA or octoberfest? Not bad though...Cheers!

    My first happoshu review on BA comes from a collaboration between Black Raven and Lowercase. It's perfectly drinkable, but unexciting, which is probably exactly what you should expect for the style.

    Mrs. snaotheus is in the process of preparing sticky toffee pudding for dessert tonight after beef Wellington for dinner...

    Guten tag! So, I was "straight edge" until I was almost 21. I spent my junior year of college abroad, including august and september 1991 in Bavaria. Went to Oktoberfest in Rosenheim and tried a beer. No looking back!
