Jon A.: GC’s game has been very proper recently… I’ll take them over North Park any day now. 🍻🏄♂️

Jon A. is drinking a Prism Schism by Sante Adairius Rustic Ales
Phenomenal, better than last round⭐️feeling very woody, leathery, lemon tobacco & fresh bud, propelled by the visceral force of that distinctive SARA mixed culture DNA. But starts to feel heavy midway because of carmel malts, but big hop bitters balance🌿
Jon A. is drinking The End Is Just the Beginning by Green Cheek Beer Company
Another in a series of essential, important, amazing WCIPAs from GC. This one juggles three critical elements keeping all in balance: buttery fruit cocktail/🍎juice + grassy/dank/herbal hoppiness + sharp, dry OG bitterness. Earthy/leafy/grainy end 4.4

Jon A. is drinking a Small Earth by Monkish Brewing Co.
I thought the 12%(+) QIPA I had from MK recently would be their most extreme of the year but noo…how about a 2.9% luxurious flavor bomb of a dry saison bursting with yeasty pizza dough, pears, apricots, nectarine, ginger, pepper, hops, baking flour+🪄
Jon A. is drinking a Samichlaus Classic by Schloss Eggenberg
Since we love all things🇦🇹around here, let’s hit another stop on the Eggenberg train. This massive, unapologetic caramel/toffee doppelbock monster* is absolutely beautiful, saturated & layered. Nowhere near cloying w/ dried oak leaves, prune/plum &🪄
Jon A.: *anyone remember beer advocate? For the longest time this was their user-rated “best beer in the world”, even above PTY or WestV. definitely deserved it because of rarity. She’s incredible but just not going to be loved by the masses. 🤷♂️
alice m.: I’ve passed on this because of the ABV. Now I regret 😀
FlandersNed: Yup - I remember BA & this beer! Liked it then too.
Jon A. is drinking a Helle Weizen by Schloss Eggenberg
Wow, this is a lovely Austrian surprise*: a rich, substantial Hefeweizen with unique Habsburgian characteristics. Dry zesty lemon/banana-sorbet-esters give a strong clove/allspice/nutmeg/pepper earthy spicy snap. Smooth, delicate everything in balance🇦🇹
Purchased at Schaller & Weber
Jon A.: *maybe even more surprising than the Anschluß capitulation...? (Too soon?🤷♂️Let’s discuss…) 🍻
Jon A.: She’s pretty much crystal clear just a dump of East Coast humidity chill haze on the glass. 🥵
