    If anyone has other suggestions I’m open to any all all tips!

    Not sure how close to the south burbs you are but Crafted in Mokena you can bust up 4 packs anyway you like.

    Mokena is a hike for me but I have a close friend that works at the Meijer out there. Maybe I can have her make a pit stop for me

    See, I thought opposite. It’s good right now but a bit too saturated/green. I did enjoy it, but will undoubtedly enjoy it a bit more in the days/weeks to come.

    I had both on Friday and love the fact that both beers got some dankness going on.

    Man, I just could not get into Swans of Lir. The mint just came across as a tic-tac type of cool mint. Glad I found a single...and even that can was a bit too much.

    See, I didn’t mind it. Thought it was pretty good, albeit a little under-carbed. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be?

    It seems you are even more sensitive to “green” than me. And “green” is something I can’t stand. I didn’t have that issue here

    It’s a green beer for the St Patrick’s day holiday. If you know it’s not for you, ignore it. I think it’s pretty good for what it is, but it’s not for anybody but those looking for a St. Patty’s green beer.
    FWIW, the hop utilization reminded me of Blazed Orange milkshake, minus the fruit and mint added. It’s a style I hate but did not suck

    How do I ignore it if I’ve never had it? I wanted to try it. I have liked all of their milkshakes, so it was worth a shot.

    I'll take a green bud light. Or just a bud light out of a green aluminum bottle.

    I had to look up my Untappd check in from the past. Hazy but with Centennial so it has that old school vs new school tug of war going on.
