    Yeah that Chesterfield is tasting really nice. Goes down way too easy at 3.5%.

    Make sure growlers follow the specs listed on the first post of this thread.

    And no cans until next Saturday.

    fyi the JWB Berliner collab Street Fruit will feature Star Fruit and Kumquat. Was chatting with one of their bartenders yesterday and he said, "it's fucking awesome."

    No eta on the release, though. They're gonna use mobile canner as well.

    It's being released at JWB, so fortunately no line waiting for us. No idea if they plan on sending kegs up to the city, but I assume trading will be the only way to land cans.

    Had the Topaz IPA yesterday and thought it was a very nice IPA. Just looked online and saw it had brett in it. Would never have guessed that.

    That topaz Def had a little funky brett tartness on the finish but it was really juicy upfront. The bar I was at listed it as a brett ipa so I was prejudiced to taste that from the beggining. Very tasty

    AGE on tap at Milk & Hops right now. Pretty reasonable too, $14 for a 32 oz growler. MNF might get rowdy!

    The hops mask the 4-ethylphenol very well, but I still get a little bit of it in the aroma.

    I am going to head over tomorrow for the first time. From Dallas so this will be a treat. Anyone know if they will be pouring any single IPA's?
