Monkish Brewing (2019)

....I'd take any cans that no one wants.

 

If anyone is going today and can snag me some Blind Pug, I will make it worth your while in some way, $hape, or beer. PM me.

I live 15mins from Monkish but work in Burbank. I'll never get there in time on my own.

 

wait, wtf, there's still BPug?

 

yeah like 23 cases or so

Thoughts?

 

Gone gone gone. Blind pug.....Zzzzzzzz

 

I dont do dairy so I'll have to rely on you guys for the TN's

Cheers,

 

How about sours bud? We going to be sippin some on Saturday?

 

Remember all the haters a few years ago that were saying that the brewers of hazy beers didn't know jack s.... about brewing well crafted clear beers and were just taking shortcuts by brewing hazy recipes? Well I hope a few of them get an opportunity to see how one of the most respected brewers in the country pivots from world class NE styled IPAs to classic WCIPAs. This is simply an amazing beer, crisp, clean and bone dry, but Henry somehow has coaxed out an amazing amount of juiciness. Damn, I hope he brews more of these types of beers, this one is on another level. Oh.....that label art may be the best they have ever done.

Cheers,

 

I will be more than happy to sip some sours with you Andrew, as well as some Lagers and Pilsners and some haze, the beer list is looking amazing.

Cheers,

 

People here keep talking about that Suarez pils. Gotta try that one...definitely need to try hiddenness, missed out on it when it came out.

 

There was, I was lucky and grabbed a half dozen, sold out soon after I grabbed mine, there was probably 25 people in line when I arrived just before 4pm and Eric was handing out wrist bands.

Cheers,

 

Suarez is amazing, I am fortunate to have a very generous friend who sends a package of their beers to me a couple times a year, they are as good as it gets in the Pils game IMHO along with Heater Allen.

Cheers,

 

I was wondering the same about Suarez. As a huge fan of lagers this one is new to me and a must try for sure. Always nice to see pilsners/lagers at these festivals to get a break from the palate destroyers. If Monkish would tap Bizoot or whatever it was I would be really happy, an easy favorite.

Tons of Saisons/Sours that I haven't tried on the list. Any recommendations from the wild ale aficionados? Casey and JK Spon are both at the top of my list based on first glance. Oh and Same Tree

 

You will love Suarez, so refined and clean.

Cheers,

 

Haha I initially wrote off BBT but I'm itching to try it. Depending where I fall in the line will determine if I use my time to snag a taster at the beginning or look elsewhere. You really can't go wrong though based on the lineup regardless when you arrive or where you spend your time waiting. Last year there were amazing beers throughout the entire event and it looks like this year won't be any different, every station is pouring home runs.

 

My gut feeling is that a lot of folks will probably rush to SARA and Side Project and thats cool. I have had the 2018 BBT thanks to my brother in law who lives in St Louis and it's very good, but seeing we have roughly 3 1/2 hours to relax and enjoy amazing beers I cannot fathom waiting what I feel will be a long time for the 2oz pour they will be serving of this, way to many other world class beers on the list as of now.

Cheers,

 

For you @HopHead89 and @Bennettrox I posted this review about six months ago on my wine site, your in for a treat. This is Pils at it's best,and at 5.5 % ABV. it's going to be perfect for a warm Saturday afternoon.

Cheers,

 

Damn that's a deep yellow hue of a Pils, a bit different than what I was expecting but looks tasty. I spent some time reading from their website and their style reminds me of HPB a bit. Checked out Untappd as well (for what it's worth) and I'm excited to spend some time at their booth on Saturday. Popped open a crowler of HPB Thunderbolt Gold after all this lager talk - good stuff!

 

Want to do a blind tasting of this, Rick's stuff, fresh cans of HF Mary that I just picked up, Henry's 7 Pilsner, and some HPB offerings.
