    No NE style IPAs until tomorrow, which - I believe and @KrajDoesBeer can correct me if Im wrong - will be Radio Swan

    Yep, stopped in last night, hands down best batch of Radio Swan to date. Insane. Really great. Really hoppier, still creamy, and still has that hit of rye spicyness. Missed this one and glad it's back on tap.
    That barrel aged Keine Krumel is also great.

    If all these great releases continue, I’m gonna have to start asking if I can wash dishes for a few hours before I can leave with 4 packs

    They weren't cans, this batch is draft only/growlers, and it's the best one yet.

    Some good stuff in the January "brews letter" from Forbidden Root.

    First up - new head brewer is Nick Williams (like we knew, but he was formally introduced in the letter)
    Second - a preview of 2018 from Robert Finkel:

    I didn't realize Randy Mosher was involved in FR....wonder if FR was just a natural extension of his 5 Rabbit Paletas beers....

    Damn, I'm super hyped for Toro to return and sounds like it might be a hoppier version even .... i wonder if this is going in cans?
