    Three Saturday releases in the past month. They almost never do Saturday drops, so the frequency of them this month is weird. But definitely good for all the folks that work a 9-5 M-F. Here's hoping the trend keeps up.

    Already someone complaining saying "what's up with all these Saturday releases don't they know people work weekends too?" and it wasn't even sarcasm because they had tagged a friend who asked if they can make it

    I'll admit, I was there. With no release on Friday, me and the GF just headed to Fantastic's to have the breakfast burrito and just see if there's a drop. We were about to head home, when Instagram went up, so we were happy. I will also admit, I was urged to stay because of the Teku.

    Enter the Fog Dog was amazing already. The Realness was tasty too. Juste, though, was profound. I regret not getting any.

    Then we headed to Bottle Logic for releases, then BW for the 5pm party.

    Damn, I had not been in an IPA line like that in a *long* time, haha. That was intense. My fiancee was giving me the "I'm going to pawn my ring" look after about 70 min in line, but glad to finally get my hands on some Monkish beer!

    Yeah, the like got REALLY gnarly. We were 20th in line, but when we walked out with our cans, I was surprised how fast everyone mobbed.

    It seemed to take a while to sell out of everything though! We ended up getting 1+1 each.

    I was the guy with the blue Hyroflask cooler backpack.

    I don't even try on weekend releases, Lines are way crazier on the weekends than weekdays. I know if I brought m GF with me she wouldn't put up with standing in a outside in the SUN in a line for more then an hour.

    I was more stoked to get this today than Relax, Ha. I was told they might can this but low and behold it's on for fills only and appears that only Prehistoric will see cans at some point, I was told Henry is getting burnt out on the constant IPA slug, so maybe we won't see that for a month ? But who cares, this is stupid freekin dumb, thats all I can say as your resident Nelson ****, the massive aromatics are only topped by the insane onslaught to your pie hole of everything Nelson. I'm a happy camper for a couple weeks because of this alone,

    Cheers,

    You got me salivating over this. Now I’m going to have to pick up a growler this weekend. I never got to try pre-historic....which did you like better?

    That’s tough, prehistoric may be my favorite IPA from Monkish EVER,however I got to drink that over a months time so I was able to enjoy the evolution. This is a crying screaming baby that needs time out but is showing absolute brilliance already, let’s see where this is in a few weeks.

    Cheers

    Definitely need to try some of this. Prehistoric was legit. I should have brought my empty growlers with me to work. I didn’t really feel like ponying up the extra dough for new glass when the wife would have given me dirty looks for bringing home more glass that we dont have space for.

    I think I may like this more than Insert Here, maybe because of the mass saturation of Citra hops. Here's to you Victor !
