Forest & Main Brewing Co. (2019)

sounds tasty. somewhere in between an ESB and Dark Mild?

 

Classification ought to be broad here: A traditional ale of English Mild lineage -

The timid, roast-y feel with partners of sweet toffee, burnt caramel, and chocolate pierced English tea speaks volumes for a dark mild. Yet, the pale spectrum plays in an undercard manner of fruity, resinous, wet hop forecourts

 

How long do cans typically last on average? I wish I grabbed that dark mild they canned last week....

 

I stopped there over the summer on the way home from one of the many soccer tournaments my kids have played in and they had a lot of different cans and bottles available. I don’t think they sell out quickly. I did enjoy everything I bought. Nice brewery IMO.

 

Thanks for your report. Because of your advice, I took a side trip on the way back. I grabbed 4 packs of Where Mind Goes (IPA), Soften Soften (IPA), A Great Quiet (Mild). As I said over in that Kane thread, I definitely wish I grabbed more of the Mild. The pub was nice, loved the atmosphere (it was pretty quiet, no TVs, etc). Mac & cheese was tasty.

We did have a bit of a "don't bring you kids to the bar" moment near the end, but it didn't ruin anything and we were leaving anyway.

 

I love that there are breweries out there like this that make a lot of non-IPA beers (although their IPAs are good too) well and can/bottle them. Really liked their saisons in particular. Unfortunately they’re a bit too far away for me to regularly go there.

 

Would definitely appreciate thoughts on Ghost Marius if anyone has a chance to try it...
