    Thanks @Joplamp

    This pic was taken in my TP bunker.
    I love blueberry in beer and this one delivers. Pours a solid purple with a nice pink head it leaves generously lacing down the glass too.
    Blueberries, raspberries, tart cherry, lemon cookies. This describes the aroma and taste. Lightly tart but finishes on the sweet side.
    Super fun beer!
    If I paid for Untappd upgrade I’d give this a 4.3 but since I’m a basic user it’ll be a 4.25.

    Huge thanks to @FlintB for this gem and the Savage glassware! Love everything I've had from Speciation and this is spectacular as always!
    Nice oaky funk, tart berry, lingering finish. 4.5/5[​IMG]

    Luckily liquor stores are still open here, so obviously craft falls under the category of "emergency supplies". I'll hold my breath while in the store, and won't touch my face or anyone else's. Should be good. :wink:

    Damnit. Day 4 of shelter in place. No new beer for me. On the plus side, I'm getting to really enjoy my cellar.

    You are lucky! All of our liquor stores closed down on Tues, as well as the majority of the beer stores. I’ll be coasting on fumes for the next few weeks/months. Luckily some of the breweries are still doing takeout orders here...at a markup...but better than nothing!

    Getting close to my bedtime so I will have to let the young bucks and late night drinks carry on. Last of the night Lagunitas Willetized Coffee Stout, huge thick head excellent retention sheets of lacing. Nose is mild coffee and lots of rye barrel, taste follows the nose close. Super dry finish. 4.1 / 5 @strohme2 since I am an Untappd supporter. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    that looks great!

    I don’t think I’ve ever tried it before.

    I usually just go with the single ply stuff, but if you have any extra & want to trade, i would love to try. PM me & I’ll send you a list of the cellar.

    The only things ordered shut here are state agencies and schools. Most stores, malls, restaurants, breweries, and bars have shut down voluntarily. Many/most businesses and federal agencies have sent everyone to work from home. One restaurant has stayed fully open, and is appropriately named "Sickies".

    Complicated? WBAYDN is our most relaxed thread, we've loosed up on things big time in recent years (unbanned everyone, GIFs, emoji, etc.), and none of the "new" rules are actually new. We'll see how this goes, but I like the idea of it being a NBS / WBAYDN hybrid. And for that to occur some rules need to come to play, otherwise it's just another WBAYDN and there's no point in that.
