    Oh yeah totally. I'm a bit biased because I can pop over there any time for a can release.

    Polish mugs, get your Polish mugs here.

    I’ll likely cave and I love it in half liter size, but the last thing I need is more glassware.

    Same. But I'm buying it.

    No one tell my girlfriend. Or my parents. Or my brothers. Or my former roommate...ok, most people other than you guys probably think I have a glassware problem.

    :confused:

    Do you lock up your glasses in your kitchen behind an opaque cabinet door?

    Cheers!

    The beer collections on this site make me feel better…

    I think that’s 70ish some odd pieces of glassware.

    I share the obsession and I’m glad I’m not alone. Someone should start a Glassware Appreciation thread…

    Beat ya to it! But worth mentioning again. A lager focused brewery winning this is a sign of the times.

    French Pils is really good. Super creamy head followed up by a zippy crisp and hoppy finish.

    How would you compare French Disko vs. Bière d'Alsace? Do they taste the ‘same’?

    Cheers!

    Tough to say, been a minute since I’ve had the latter.

    I believe Alsace uses corn and I didn’t pick up any characteristics of corn in this one. I would say this was hoppier, and not quite a Noble hop character either. Definitely not a more modern hop character, but unique in a way I couldn’t describe. But delicious.

    I can tell you my half liter went down in short order on this summer evening though.

    Tried the French Disko today in Salem and it was stellar. Grabbed a crowler to-go.

    Both the cans I picked up were canned 6/1. And they kept them all refrigerated thankfully!

    Also tried one at Salem yesterday. One of my favorites I’ve had from Notch this year. Fantastic beer.
