Monkish Brewing (March 2017)

If they don't extend the anniversary space outside about 20ft, out where the line for cans start, people are going to be coughing neckbeard balls. In all seriousness

 

Monkish will become a straight up tinderbox during the anniversary.

 

as much as i want to be at the anniversary, on any regular weekend the line to get a pour of beer is 30-45 min at any given time...so im gonna stay far away from monkish on the 11th cause i dont even want to see the kind of shit show that will ensue.

 

My thoughts exactly. Plus March 11th is my wedding anniversary so I dont think my lady will appreciate standing in line for beer pours.

 

Just think of it like a couple's activity where you two can spend time with one another. What does it matter where you are as long as you're there together?!

 

March 11 is my 40th birthday and we were going to kick it at Monkish for awhile after the Clips-Sixers game (my best friend is visiting form back home) but this anniversary party killed that idea

 

I wish they would pour only Belgian styles at the party. I'd almost be tempted to go just to see the look of confusion and disappointment on people's faces as they found out there was no haze being poured.
#schadenfreude

 

They'd have to either host it someplace else or takeover the parking lot...or make it ticketed

 

What makes you guys think the anniversary party is going to be at the tasting room haha?
That's impossible haha obviously going to be at a convention hall somewhere.

 

Looking forward to that Quintuple Dry Hopped IPA for the 5th anni

 

Monkish obviously doesn't care about their clientele, or they wouldn't have scheduled this the same day as the nickelodeon kids choice awards.

 

I'm pretty sure that one dumpster is the entrance to Narnia and that's where they will all go to enjoy those infamous only used GALAXY hop in their hazy IPAs while eating premium organic catered cat food.

 

My guess would be ticketed sessions, say 3 hour blocks, where at least 2 hours are spent in line waiting for your pours.

 

Just popped in tonight for some bottles and a few fills. I was talking with Eric about pretty much this same scenario. They, the Monkish crew, joked about how they should just have Saisons, blondes etc at the 5th but obviously that won't happen, there will be no cans, they did tell me that, thank God. Eric told me a funny story regarding the hazelaborers last Friday. He said that there were at least 40 people already lined up before 2pm last friday banking on a hoppy can release, the most they has seen to date that early. The Monkish team, knowing the release was a Milk Stout all gathered in the tasting room when they hit send to Instagram/twitter announcing the release. He said you never saw 40-50 people scatter so fast, many were heard shouting expletives as they left without their rent money for the second straight week. Someone posted in last months Monkish threads about when does the embarrassment start to sink in, if this doesn't hit home to all the day-haze-laborers I don't know what would.

Cheers,

 

Le Gaudiere tasting great. Palomino tartaricity, unripe salmonberry, wonderful tannic finish, like licking a Louisville slugger.

 

I say set up a webcam outside the brewery so we can all participate in mocking the embarrassingly lame hazelaorers.

 

Why not just call the cops on them for loitering? It's private property. They're obviously not really Monkish fans when they walk away just because the beer is a coffee stout.

I'd also vote you ban them from buying any future cans at Monkish, but then I probably despise the secondary market way more than most.

 

Because not everyone wants to use the police to solve these issues.

 

Are there other solutions being put in place? Genuinely curious.
