North Park Beer Co. (2020)

Ya I feel like the challenge is to remember to avail ourselves of all the great.beer available and not just keep a constant flow from one of the many breweries that are.crushing it coming through the door.

 

Like a kid on christmas morning, I am already anxiously awaiting that txt message that they are only a couple minutes away.

 

Tis been a few weeks, perhaps a month, since I ordered delivery, so just ordered 6 4pks. Working long hard hours lately and need some NP cans to calibrate.

 

North Park is offering a $10 shipping special through tomorrow, Wed. Dec. 9.

Y’all have spoken so highly about them! I’m looking forward to finding out for myself.

 

I was going to wait til next week to place an order but this deal was the nudge I needed to pull the trigger today. I was going to keep it to half a case but with the $10 flat shipping, I decided to add a 4th four pack.

 

What an embarrassment of riches! Help me out, folks, before I go overboard, since everything sounds so nice.

I'm looking forward to trying NP's WCIPAs. Hop-Fu and Sorta Mostly Dead are going in the order.

I'm not as enthusiastic about hazy DIPAs, milkshake IPAs, or kettle sours, which narrows things down a little bit. (Yes, this means I'm passing on the NP/PP collab that just dropped.)

I do enjoy a well-made lager, and see there's four (!!!) to choose from right now. Help me out! Between Larp, Covington, Paesano's, and Bird Park, what's going to provide that low ABV, delicate biscuit malt note, and crisp hop kiss that I love in a fresh pils?

 

Bird Park.

 

Anyone tried Hitcha with Citra yet?

 

I've had 6 pint-sized cans of it. It's very good -- clean and crushable with good hop flavor.

 

A really good read about NP’s COVID pivot.

Well done Kelsey!

Best part of article...haha.... : There’s been a fairly active thread in the BeerAdvocate Pacific Regional forum centered around our new releases.

 

My question us where the hell is the 24% of the beer they're not canning going?

 

NPBC's path through the pandemic has been truly impressive to watch. I can only imagine some of the stresses they've dealt with, but the beer just keeps getting better, the taproom staff have been both incredibly upbeat (more than I could be under similar circumstances) and diligent about safety, and they've done a tremendous job of continually adapting to the changing landscape. I've probably consumed more NPBC than any other brewery over the past nine months and, as much as I love drinking their beer from the comfort of my home, I look forward to the day we can get back into their lovely tasting room to enjoy it amongst good company.

 

Onsite consumption, when they were open and allowed to do so outside.

Crowlers for walk-ups.

Just my guesses.

 

NP is doing really well sounds like. Good for them. I never would of tried NP if it wasn’t for Covid. I can find their cans locally here in north OC. I find their shipping cost higher than norm. That Forever In Style collab with Beachwood is spot on.

 

They just added another WCIPA to the inventory with I Pity The Fu. I was already eyeing the Beachwood collaboration and Hitcha With Citra so it was an easy purchase. Shipping today so I should have these before New Years.

 

I really wish they would have more (any?) stouts available in cans, other than the mocha crowler option. Can we get some tasty (non-pastry) stouts in 4-packs?

 

During the time that we were allowed to be open for outdoor on-site consumption, we were doing a small volume of draft and saw an increase in demand for kegs coming from our bar/restaurant customers. As soon as the stay-at-home order landed we switched back to 100% canning.

 

Anyone else get emails/notifications for the MBD b2 and 2020 Is Over lotteries? I got an email that my CC was charged for 2020 so I'm guessing I won one! My buddy got the same notification but for MBD b2

Edit: Just went to their IG and saw that this was indeed being announced today, guess I'm just surprised I actually got one!

 

Got mine as well. Won MBD b2.
