Joshua Keppel is drinking a Berliner Messe: Agnus Dei (2018 Harvest) by The Referend Bier Blendery
Sometimes something just sorta surprises me when I'm by myself and I got to talk about it. Spon ferm Berliner manages to feel like it took a trip to Pajottenland, soft, subsumed lactic sour floating in this massaged pith roundness that feels luxurious.

Joshua Keppel is drinking a Kellerpils by Zillicoah Beer Company
There is almost a mint flavor here? Forms this breezy kind of aether on which the beer rides? Cool.
Joshua Keppel is drinking a Nuit Noire (Laphroaig) by Brasserie Fantôme
Too weird to live, too strange to die. Brushfire, caramel, salt flake, some anise, brimstone, swamp monsters from the sea, memory of sweet buns, highland clearance of my taste buds.

Joshua Keppel is drinking a Finding Alexa by New Invention Brewery at Inn Deep
The best thing I've had in the UK thus far. Melony with an oniony dankness (Columbus?) that remains my fucking jam. I'm exhausted with hazy IPAs, but that doesn't mean people still don't make great ones that appeal to me.

I got a slightly less cold, undercarbed, leaked in the cargo hold version, but it was still good!
