Monkish Brewing (Fall 2018)

New Adjective was pretty awesome as well, didn't get to try bizoot

 

Never had the chance to try the OG Nelson but this is hands down my favorite Monkish release (can or growler). Can't wait to dive into the Pilsner next

 

I still need to try pre-historic bad boy and hope that gets canned soon

 

Prehistoric b-boy I mean not bad boy lol:::got myself combining monkish and alpine now with all this OG nelson talk

 

If you're local to SD Burgeon just put out Nelson Takes Flight. Pretty solid at 7%. Never been a big fan of them but thought I'd give em another shot since they're on my route home from work.

 

Cracked open a Relaxist last night and I must say, Monkish makes a great pilsner. What makes it an Italian pilsner? IDK, but keep them coming. Pilsner are great when you don't wanna be chugging HAZE all teh time

 

Pasta in the mash.

 

The brewers wore the stereotypical Italian pizza chef hat when mashing in.

 

Heard they also threw in the leftover pizza they didnt finish.

 

So I guess Monkish is finished doing Eventbrite sales for their saison and sour bottles?

 

Eventbrite did just increase their fees not all that long ago, so I would be excited if more bottle releases started to go towards a different online ticketing vendor or eventually inhouse. Both have their positives and negatives though.

 

Including today’s release, I believe the last two or three have been at the brewery only. Last one I saw from Eventbrite was Drip With Sunset back in May. Good for locals but sucks for me because the Eventbrite pickup dates usually coincided within the timeframes I was down in Southern CA.

 

Monkish noob here, just today tried recent cans of ‘Galactic rhyme...’ and ‘swap meets’. I found ‘Galactic’ vegetal, almost like celery toward the finish. Swap meets was very sweet, almost cloying. I saw a couple similar notes on untappd but my main question is:

Do all monkish cans need time to sit before opening? Are there general understandings of a ‘sweet spot’ time frame?

Really just curious. My palate is by no means outstanding but I cannot imagine ppl drinking the same cans I did and rating either more than 4/5

 

IPA? Usually good to go.

DIPA? Usually wait a week or two.

TIPA? I've had some sit for three months and I thought it held up well.

 

I really hope one of these two possible releases is Planets. @OTB please pull those strings man! XD

 

Always going to hope against haze for Caffe della Vitta cans myself.

 

3 4pks pp yesterday on foggy window & last week was 3 4pks pp on broadcasting live. I'm loving this increase in allotments. wonder why they are bringing them back up!? anyone try that pineapple space cookie yet!?

 

Hard pass on the space cookie line. Glad foggy is back so soon though. Wonder if foggier will be the other release this week, as I missed out on the last batch of cans, lol.
