    Good day BAs! Off to another "nice" day here on the tundra of NW PA - gonna sort some more brass and do a light amount of general yard work while deciding on our next beer run/short vacation into the wilds of the UP or upper NY. Went out for supper last night and had an excellent Ahi tuna meal - damn, that wasabi/pickled ginger really works with ahi! Even the mediocre beer tasted good!

    Today's New Breakfast Beer:

    Brugge Tripel at the moment. It’s one Tripel from Belgium that’s maybe sometimes overlooked even by me. Delicious nonetheless.

    Hey @ChicagoJ - tough call and question but HA High and Dry, Spiteful Working for the Weekend, and Rev Supermassive Cafe Deth were awesome... but I was really surprised by how great the Forbidden Root beers were yesterday. Yes, hazy, but absolutely delicious beers.
    Cheers and good to meet ya in person.
    Now at OHare enjoying good vibes in the United terminal. :grin:

    Good morning BAs! I’ve been lazy all morning, maybe some coffee will pick me up - FBS:

    Bottled 4/14/21. Poured at 55°. Yep, that’ll do! Not looking forward to driving across State later today, at least the traffic will be somewhat lighter on a Sunday. Cheers and have a great day y’all!

    Cool, I haven't been to Forbidden Root since pre-COVID, but your picks and reports from yesterday have me plotting to return for happy hour this week. You had a lot of great beers, I need to try High and Dry.

    Great meeting you as well, and safe travels home! (Suffered the O'Hare terminal far too many times for work to count). Rhapsody in Blue is dead to me. :grin:

    Cheers!

    Morning all, courteous of @colby600 I am enjoying this . . .

    Fox Farm Brewery Sway American Lager

    Clear light yellow color with a big rocky white cap that quickly dissipates.

    Aroma of clean, sweet grain and tangerine fruit sprinkled with lemon zest. There are hops in there but the hop scent is well covered up.

    Taste on entry is full, rich grain and surprisingly hoppy. Bittering hops of some variety that announce their presence with a trumpet blast yet are not overpowering in any way, rather melding effortlessly with the grain. I actually get more hops in the aftertaste than in scent or flavor but hop presence does not rise above the role of a support player.

    Medium texture with balancing carbonation that has a touch more than it needs.

    Overall this is an outstanding American Lager.
