    Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel like this batch of Double Citra Daydream tastes like it's heavier on the 'tose than previous batches. Not a complaint, though. This is drinking smooth as silk.

    Nevertheless, I look forward to another month of Other Half wreaking havoc upon my liver.

    No excuses, play like a champion. Next month 12:03 or I'm reporting the thread for tardiness.

    Tomorrow's beers are on tap. Looks like there is a new IPA called Freaky Friday.

    ugh

    It was siphoned directly into Ric Flair's soul to grant him an extra month on this earth.

    It's like I have to explain everything to you guys.

    Man, I forgot everything. I was thinking about Ric Flair. I guess my title didn't conform with the unwritten guidelines.

    Does anyone actually buy beer from First Place Provisions? I walk past it all the time but its reviews are so bad that I've never gone in.

    And why are there not more bottle options in that area, like a beer and cheese or something?

    That place sucks. Prices are high. Employees are rude. Place is a mess too.

    Both of tomorrow’s new beers tasting killer. Freaky Friday is solid too. Brewed with Toasted Wheat so it has a very nice different flavor than most of their typical IPAs.

    This is prob the “best” of the few dodgy shops with badly stored, over priced beer in south brooklyn. Not saying much.

    With bierkraft gone (a polarizing place I know - I personally loved the place), Whole Foods basically serves the entire area which is pretty wank. I wish someone would open a decent independent store - but guessing the rents don’t make sense

    Edit - and if I have that wrong and there’s a gem I’m missing, please enlighten me

    Stnky Brooklyn on Smith typically has a pretty good selection and the prices are fair. Great cheese too.
