    Man. Last batch of small strata was great. At least their lack of consistency has gotten me to expand my horizons with other local great stuff.

    You know it's been a terrible year when having to pretend to be from North Dakota for several months and then actually moving to the suburbs doesn't even crack your list of regular concerns...:slight_frown:

    Fortunately, years are not like batches, where the last one always tends to outshine what's in hand. And with god as my witness, the next year is going to be a helluva lot better than this one.

    This post is what happens when you read too much 538.
    That said, maybe 2021 will bring 4th anniversary readily available on curbside and it won't suck and taste like melon.

    4th anniversary with some melon notes? Don't tease me like that.

    No post on Catawba 2019? 150 Bottles mix ferm? I guess it sold out in Brooklyn within 5 minutes. I forgot that FLX was supposed to be their mixed fermentation/barrel outpost...

    Did anyone snag a bottle?

    It sold out in less than 30 seconds. Still in stock on the FLX site, so I suspect they had fewer than ten bottles at BK. It got added to my cart but sold out before I could complete checkout.

    They brew 97 “different” beers a week. Please find the tank space to squeeze in some short, dark & wired. It’s been 2 years.

    Had a can of Citra + Galaxy last night. I mean, it's good...but something is off about these beers. It felt like I was drinking slightly carbonated pineapple juice. There's almost zero bite that used to be a staple of these IPAs.

    They oversold the bottles in BK. I snagged one but they didn’t have any when I went to pick up. Caused a bit of an issue but they were able to find one.

    I probably missed this article, but some interesting tidbits on Domino Park

    Also some good news, they will have outdoor space. Hopefully I can have an Other Half beer at an Other Half location sometime soon.

    I'm so confused by the layout of Domino. Why is there brewing equipment in the middle of the bar?

    Like the restaurants where they cook in the middle of it and you sit on the chef's counter watching?

    I’m imagining the chef’s table music playing at the end of the episode, while 15 identical looking NEIPAs are served up.

    Based on my last few C+G experiences as well as all the mediocre beers they’ve made this year, I have zero faith in their ability to recreate the magic of C+S
