    Meanwhile If any of you guys have any more of these sitting around they are drinking really nice right now, just at that softening hop blossoming/opening stage, so aromatic and flavorful. I will add that I do think a lot of Monkish beers recently could have used a week or two more in the tanks before being released, just my 2 cents.

    Cheers,

    They usually release cans the same day as other breweries. Mumford and HPB have releases tomorrow so that, coupled with the dodgers win, I’d say there is a good chance.

    OK Grasshopper, I will gladly take one for the team with this one, if not just for the nose on this thing, it smells even better than the OG Alpine Nelson. Personally I want to thank Henry and Eric for putting up with my constant nagging and begging and actually canning this, my favorite Monkish beer ever.......yup I said that, but you guys all know I'm just a Nelson ***** anyway.



    Cheers,

    The first thing I noticed was " damn, this smells just like the Alpine OG........but turned up to 11" so stoked the limits were three 4 packs, sadly that won't be enough, good gawd.

    got the last full allotment on both. XD

    the taster I had of BL was kinda of underwhelming when it was on tap, but i believe the keg had ran out during my pour cause they changed em right after - was kind of over carbonated but I dont know if that makes any sense... but this stuff is great outta the can. cant wait to try the pils!

    Gone Glorious was a Citra Mosaic IPA, this is a 100% Nelson DIPA, hard to compare.

    And here I am with full load up on the pilsner, and took one four pack home of Broadcasting. Serves me right for getting like 6 growler fills of Broadcasting when they had it on fill for a minute.

    That milk stout was great too.

    What luck you have, Ive been the guy behind the guy who gets last allotment, still have PTSD from that. Didnt seem like most people were getting full allotment on the pilsner, I did.

    Yeah, folks there said as much. At the end of the night, there was 3 cases of Broadcasting and 4 of Relaxist.

    I should have just shucked my jacket and hat and got another full allocation of the pils....
