Monkish Brewing (January 2017)

Fuckin losers

 

Fine upstanding citizens and parents everyone of them. Just a true testament to craft beer and its most positive influences.

(Just trying to avoid ruffling any feathers of the Monkish defense league)

 

We need a term for those folks. Industrial Park Hazey Day Laborers?

 

A neighboring business should just chase them away with a hose.

 

Or I believe they could call them in for loitering. The parking lot is likely private property belonging to whoever owns the business park.

 

Well they're on the way home, no can release today !

 

new growler fill IPA available...

 

Sorry kids, no dinner tonight, Daddy couldn't find work today. Go to bed and pray for juice.

 

That doesn't hold nearly enough trade weight as a can, brah.

 

I think @BeerBaron666 nailed it with "Fuckin losers".

 

This place can feel like an Edith Wharton novel with how all the beer elitists get worked up into a tizzy over the Parking Lot Lot.

Live and let live, y'all. Go drink beer at any of the other great breweries in the area until the hype subsides.

 

found one of the parking lot losers

 

I'm not really sure how I'm an elitist because I think spending your days in a parking lot so you can maybe illegally resell the beer is fucking stupid.

This isn't about drinking beer, it's about how hazy beer has turned into fucking air Jordans or some other commodity to be traded and sold, not drank for what it is. The beer is good but the disconnect between hype and other readily available beers is lunacy.

 

Of course it's fucking stupid. Do we need to repeat the same tired complaints about Monkish in this thread ad nauseaum?

Let them do their thing thing and get on with your lives.

 

In b4 the free market capitalists and Ayn Rand followers appear.

 

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No' says the posters on BA.

 

...so maybe go to elsewhere and drink good beer while avoiding the hype like he suggested?

 

Meanwhile, I'll just drink the stuff.

Cheers,

 

Two-ish questions:

1) How is it?

2) How was the growler line on release announce day? (What time did you go?)

 

Its really good, I love these three hops and combined they create an amazing peach for days profile along with that blueberry note from the Mosaic, the body is excellent, soft and full.

I got there around 4:30 ish, no line outside, maybe 8-10 folks in line in the tasting room, place was packed out back. In and out in maybe 20 minutes. Eric did say it was a bit of a frenzy at opening, probably because they haven't had an IPA/DIPA on for fills for a few weeks.

Cheers,
