    Had it on draft at Mikkeller a little while back. One of my favorite beers I've tried this year actually!

    Were you able to try it? If so how was it?

    I'll be getting a couple bottles, love the price point.

    I did. It was one of many tastes, but I really liked everything that I tasted last night.

    Apparently Torrance is a super tiny amount of beer. I was told they have maybe 3 cases of it total. It'll be on for in house at some point

    Phew. Now I hopefully won't encounter an insane crowd when I bring an out-of-towner by on Saturday after Zwanze.

    I heard the crowd was insane today, 325+ in line for one four pack of Foggiest and two four packs of Relax Your Mind, thank God I can go fill growlers tomorrow not having to worry about all the new money haze bros taking up valuable parking spaces.

    Cheers,

    325 ppl for those limits on cans and yet hpb STILL has cans of Zero Buttons with no limit I'm sure at this point. Something is really wrong with these hazy mouth breathers these days.. :rolling_eyes:

    did't manage to get a 4pk of Foggiest Window but did score 2 4pks of Relax Your Mind. Got there @ 5PM and waited til an Hour to get my Cans. I was one of the very last ones to get their cans. Got Lucky...

    After months and months of not being able to make a Monkish release due to work, my friend and I finally made yesterday's release and got packs of Foggiest Window and Relax Your Mind. Neither of us had ever had Monkish before. Noble's GOAT was my favorite hazy beer I'd ever had, nothing had even compared to it, and Relax Your Mind blew it out of the water. Haven't cracked a Foggiest Window yet, but if it's as good as Relax Your Mind, they I can understand the Monkish hype. It's too bad I won't be able to make another release for probably another 4 or 5 months when another release aligns with a day off.

    I liked Foggiest over Relax your mind.

    My thoughts exactly, ATG(all-time goat) was a legit ass NE-ipa from Noble, but then I had Monkish and now realize why they make the best NE-ipa style beers in the west coast. I wasn't able to snag a 4pk of Foggiest Window.
