Toppling Goliath - Chicagoland (2020)

That would be nice. Not realistic in downtown Chicago though.

 

I'm in FW right now! Having dinner at Junk Ditch, then going to head to Deer Park for a few!

 

The upside to Chicago is that you can't beat the selection of beer and liquor we get. Downside is that we get that selection because we're a bunch of awful degenerates that will buy up anything and everything as soon as it hits.

 

Sun Reaper is really good; nice NE IPA notes with a pleasant orange citrus bite. Bonus: cans were filled 2/7/20; we've come a long way from the covered wagon distro days!

 

Saw this and was intrigued by it since I never seen it before but bought Rhythm Recipe instead. Came down to abv for me, same price. Almost tho. Good to hear it tastes like a TG ipa.

 

TG really needs to start sending that Dragon Fandango our way...and canning Cherry Fandango yesterday...

 

Catching a show at the Promontory and they have Pseudo Sue on draft. Maybe I'm just not going to the right places, but we need more of that around here

 

9 day old Psuedo at open bottle yesterday. They’re tapping MD soon too

 

Any early reviews on sun reaper??

 

I loved it. Wrote about it a few posts back if you want details!

 

Good lord was that disgusting!

I will preface my review that, although I didn’t like this one due to the hop combination, it was well done. I think a combo of Azacca and Sabro hops is what did it in for me. Tasted almost like onion rings

Safe to say I’ve had my first drain pour from TG

 

A well done disgusting drain pour. I think you just talked me in to buying a four pack.

 

I mean well done for the style. Mouthfeel and carbonation were great. My palette just doesn’t like those hop combos

 

I think I'm passing on Sabro beers. Last one I had I believe was HA Fine Time. I'm not cool with coconut flavor in an IPA. Sabro in a stout may pique my interest.

 

I've been passing on Sabro hopped IPAs as well for the same reason. Just not a fan of the coconut-y flavor I get from it. Personal preference, of course.

 

Mornin' Delight was tapped today at Open Bottle. I don't think it tapped out. I was there till closing.

 

$2 an oz for non BA is ridiculous.

 

Is DDH sue worth grabbing? Saw it at Binny’s yesterday and it was canned 2/26...but I didn’t pull the trigger on it.

 

The old bomber batches were fantastic. Haven't had it in a long time but it's probably worth the $14 gamble.

 

It definitely drinks like a low abv beer. It's OK but seems watered down compared to last time I had in bombers.
