North Park Beer Co. (2020)

Yeah, no worries.

I know some breweries are concerned about exploding cans. I always respect businesses decisions. They can do whatever they want.

I recently got some mortalis hyrdas and that was another level of smoothie fruit juice. Wow!

 

Jamba Juice has plenty of fruit smoothies to buy.

Excited for This is Strata! I've been waiting to place another order, and looks like I'll be loading up on Hop-Fu and Strata now.

 

I've read this five times and I still don't understand what you want here

 

Larger discussion, but it's really unfortunate how the terms "gose" and "berliner" are what a lot of people associate with exploding cans of fruit puree now. Sour was always a really bad catch-all term, so maybe we just let them take that one.

 

"Sour" can now refer to beers that have lots of fruit added and aren't sour? Sounds about right

 

This is a good point and I definitely made this mistake when I first got in to craft beer.

 

Just got my North Park delivery, and This is Strata! is exactly as described and damn tasty. Resinous dankness and tropical fruit, balanced bitterness, and a dry finish. Looking forward to trying that batch 51 Hop-Fu and Covington as well.

 

Anyone know when the second to the last canned batch of This is Strata! came out?

 

This is the only batch that has been released in cans. There was a draft batch in December 2018 but as far as I can recall, that was the only other time it was brewed.

 

Thanks. I was trying to figure out if a local store's inventory consisted of old product. I can buy with confidence now.

 

YES.

Fourth order from North Park, have tried the three newer releases tonight and as always these are top notch. Been sending North Park out on BIF boxes and always hear back that people are super into it. For me, they are def ranking among the top tier breweries in California and nationwide. Checkin the boxes!

 

Any thoughts on Party Cup vs. Wizard Cup?

A friend and I are setting up a box, and we're deliberating about this.

 

Haven't tried them side by side, but separate, I'd say I like Wizard about the same as Party. Getting the new Party Cup delivered today, and still got a couple Wizard, so gonna compare them at some point this weekend.

Also, super excited for the key lime kettle sour. With Tikicito being one of the best I've had, I'm hoping this is similar.

 

Just placed an order for my first mixed case from North Park.

Now I’ve gotta figure out how to drink two cases of beer (also bought some Casa) on top of all the HPB, Fieldwork, and Cellarmaker I already have in my fridge.

 

I have a bunch of ASB and Fieldwork... ugh. Good problems to have.

 

both are great, but I prefer party cup myself. And I think it's the fresher of the two available, but I could be wrong on that end.

 

Both Cups are great, I tend to like Party more.

 

Already received my case. That was quick.

 

X-Raying Flowers is one of the most hop saturated beers I have ever drank and I am 100% here for it.
