Chicagoland NE IPAs (2019)

And come from behind win wins on the basketball court...

Looking back on UT, I think it may have been for me that the same batch didn't hold up as well after a couple weeks as I'd have preferred (as opposed to inconsistency of different batches - though I have heard that on this forum). The times I've had it in the past 6-9 months it's been very good.

 

just picked up single can from Resident Culture Brewing, didn't know they are distro here or maybe just a special drop

Causal Continuum- IPA New England
Bigg Ballerz - IPA New England
Universal Mind - IPA

 

I do recall hearing some chatter about it not holding up as well, so that makes sense (although I’ve never had that problem either for some reason). Either way, all this talk makes me realize I need to have some M-43 and Boss Tweed again soon.

 

There's some Boss Tweed still at Bitter Pops if anyone is looking for it.

 

Marz just got the last of my money. Grabbed two 4 packs, Yuice and Mo Mo Mo. The yuice is almost undrinkable. Its thin and kind of looks/tastes like piss. Haven't tried the Mo but I'm already kicking myself for gambling on them.

 

Checked out some recent photos of Yuice on Untappd to confirm what you said, but I'm left thinking you should really have a doctor check out that urine issue.

 

Narrow Gauge Rocket Appliances and Great Notion Baby Blue on draft at The Beer Temple

 

This Brickstone & Phase 3 collaboration is the best hazy released this week. So drinkable, smooth, and great hop character. Best of the series thus far.

Was impressed by Phase 3 milkshake, but 8oz was enough.

Thought the Mikerphone & Phase 3 collaboration was bad. Extremely rough on the backend.

 

Anyone know of this is still available at the brewery?

 

I’m not sure about the brewery but they distributed it as well

 

Just had a can of Alarmist's DDH Citra Le Jus.

Plus: they list lactose as an ingredient, even though this technically is not a "milkshake" IPA. See, Hop Butcher, it's OK to come clean!!

Minus: I like the New England-style IPA's on the sweet side...but this is Wilford Brimley-level 'beetus sweetness. There's some nice mango notes hiding in here, but cream & sugar flavors cover it like a Pro Bowl cornerback.

Not one I'll return to, but if you have an insatiable sweet tooth, this may be your dream beer.

 

I would recommend Saint Errant’s Overgolded. Full mouthfeel and some dankness from the hops (wasn’t necessarily expecting that from Nelson and Citra)

 

Overgolded is quite good, but if anyone is in the Wicker Park area, bangers and lace has one of my favorite hazies of the year, Infinite Highway by Dancing Gnome. think top tier Hop Butcher with nary a hint of splenda

 

New Hailstorm & The Open Bottle collab

 

The boys in the Hop Butcher thread are not going to be happy about this...

(the beer's concept sounds great to me)

 

Agreed

 

created a thread for this, but figured since it is a hazy fest, it might be appropriate to post here as well in case anyone is interested...

SILT by Riverlands Brewing is a top shelf Citra and Galaxy juice bomb. Super huge aroma, pleasant bitterness throughout, and not too sweet. This is one of the better hazy Dipas I've had in a while.

 

good to hear - I've been wanting to try this one!
