    Very quiet when I left. Shouldn’t be an issue if you’re swinging through not too late.

    Just stopped in for a quick pour. It’s getting low.

    But…their Dunkelweizen is on.

    Want to try that bad. How smoky?

    I’m not super sensitive to smoke. I like smoked beers and this was plenty enough for me. That said preference, I enjoyed this more than hefe and Bread and Roses.

    Glad to hear, big fan of their smoked stuff so definitely hoping it’s not subtle.

    Leaving work and heading over there very shortly. Guess I'm having Ungespundet and Rauch Weiss. Can't say I'm disappointed.

    Nah, disagree. Grodziskie clearer imo. This is from June. I don’t filter my photos.

    It's still a wheat beer. Shouldn't it be served in a weisse glass?

    Menu suggested it/expected vessel, but it came in a willi. Take it up with Notch? Beer was delicious and I don’t think the glassware would have impacted my experience.

    Not really a problem for me either, just knowing Notch being ultra traditional about how the beers are made and served, like the stemware used for Polish as the previous poster mentioned, I was just a little surprised. In fact, I'm drinking a Rauch Weisse right now, and it's really enjoyable.

    I don’t disagree, but I thought the crux was about the appearance of the beers and less about the vessels they were in.

    Fest is gonna be in cans this year. Excellent news, easily top 5 if not better beer they’ve made in the past year.

    Schlenkerla?

    I would like to see them do an Amber Oktoberfest too.
