Monkish Brewing (Summer 2018)

Any updates? Thinking of heading over from Boyle Heights lol

 

I just think of a release as a day of the week they’re selling at least one canned beer. So two releases is two days. Luckily today was three beers in the same release.

Loving my new schedule of working half day from home on Fridays. Makes Friday releases ez pz.

 

Bizoot was fucking great. Since they didn't can "Numbers", I was really hoping for more than one four pack but oh well

 

Yeah I hope it’s still available for more fills. Once I opened it, it didn’t last long

 

Bizoot was absolutely delightful. Wish I got cans, but didn't want to trek from Costa Mesa at 4pm (long work day) only to be rebuffed.

I went yesterday, still had Atomically on tap and fills, had the Bizoot. Feminist...was....there's something about that Tripel that doesn't taste quite like I remember.

 

Wow this might be the first release to ever reach 7pm. Twitter says 30 cases left of Lewis moving to front bar.

 

Maybe the hype dying a bit!?

 

No, the neckbeards were out strong today.

 

This batch had 196 cases, which has to be one of the biggest. Recently, When they have had batches near this size they have lasted until 7-8pm.
Larger batches probably last longer because the same 175 people can only buy their limits.

 

Guess I've never really paid any attention to case batches until late with the small supply on some of the double and triple can releases. Plus I do usually check twitter here and there just to see if it hits the average time of 5:30

According to Twitter, sold out status was reached at 8:53pm. Talk about cutting it close to closing time

 

Not really.. This was a big release for 21 & Lewis. 196 cases! I made it down there right around 15 cases left in the taproom.

 

Would appreciate some help. Traveling to SD for a convention 9/5 to 9/8. Thinking of either flying into LA on Wednesday, 9/5 and heading to Monkish or coming up after the convention on Saturday the 8th and flying out of LAX.

Happy if it's just growlers, but would love some cans. Would Wednesday or Saturday be better for that? If Saturday, wouldn't be there until noon the earliest. One advantage for Saturday is that I would get a hotel near Monkish and be able to stay and drink, then fly home on Sunday am. If Wednesday, it's more of a pickup and then off to SD.

Also open to trades if for Monkish fresh cans if there is anything someone wants from Chicago (sorry, deep dish pizza to messy to carry on the plane).

Lastly, is Smog City worth a visit? I see it's very close.

Thanks in advance! Cheers

 

You won't get cans on a Saturday, you just have to be lucky on wednesday, and if they post it on IG, be there an hour or so before opening to get in line. And Smog City is def worth a visit, not a haze bros beer place, so others here may not fancy it as much. But good barrel program there.

 

Thanks! Last year I came on a Wednesday and showed up around 3:30 and was surprised to get cans. Missed the IG post. Maybe Wednesday will be better....
