Forest & Main Brewing Co. (2019)

Good summary. Another thing of note is that if you are looking to drink their English style cask beers, you still need to go to the original Pub. The new space is only regular draft lines.

 

Not sure, but they have all the to-go cans/bottles in the new space, in a cooler behind the bar.

 

They do fill growlers in the new space, but they don't typically fill 750ml's

 

How long do their bottles usually stay around? Making the trip on saturday and wondering if today’s release will still be available.

 

Some of them last for weeks/months. For example, bottles of Soft Night is still available and first went on sale in late October.

 

Fruited saisons go VERY quick and with no limits on this recent one I don't think its going to last long although bottle counts weren't released.

 

Can anyone decipher what the "old favorite" is being teased on their Insta story for next week?

Any thoughts on the new bottle? Still supplies left?

 

Arutam, a saison aged in Marius barrels.

 

So do people think that Forest & Main's beer notes are bizarre enough that they should be taken as tough-in-cheek, or do they fall into the Tired Hands pretentious zone?

 

Wait, people think that Tired Hands's descriptions aren't tongue in cheek and self-aware?... I'm pretty sure they both are.

 

Not when paired with just about every interview quote you read from Jean Broillet, and their general vibe on their website and social media over the years.

Deja vu, I guess we've had this conversation before

lol time is a flat circle. we'll agree to disagree (until we inevitably have this same conversation in two years)

 

This collab just feels right = Should be excellent

 

Amazon Prime series--- Not Your Father's Beer.
One episode up now, more to come.
5 minutes or so of behind the scenes interviews and such.
Interesting and well done.

 

Finally drank the bottle of Soft Night that's been sitting in my beer fridge for a couple months. Good stuff - bready, earthy, slightly tart, dry, strong herbal spice.

 

Earthy and woody with floral appeal, and a coded spiced backing. The malt lingers against smoked Gouda, peppered biscuits, toasted brown sugar, molasses bread with maple butter, and honey saccharine. Lavender is ringing throughout with mint and thyme in suit. Yet, impression turns to roasted, bitter coffee, and warms to a creamed-milky perception: sweet vanilla and caramel neighbor the consciousness…The Pub Ale could fare well via handpump
