Jeff Draeger: If this is 5 caps, Fraubruber is at least 8.
Brendan Hughes is drinking a Flensburger Pilsener by Flensburger Brauerei Emil Petersen
Northern German Pils. Completely different from its Southern Bavarian cousins. Hop forward (Hallertau) with a bit of salinity from the coastal barley. New desert island beer. Now all I need is a dozen oysters

Brendan Hughes: Jeff D. Don’t know what Fraubruber is, but FrauGruber is solid. I like this better than their Pils. 24/7 is their best beer IMO, much different from this. Would love to try some of the fresh/wet hop lagers they do. I’m in Munich on the 1st. Hook it up!
Brendan Hughes is drinking a Beechwood Rauch Bier by T.F. Brewing - Templin Family
Subtle earthy oak. Toss up between this and Stands to Reason for best I’ve had stateside.
Brendan Hughes is drinking a HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend (2021) by Brouwerij Boon
Been waiting a few years to open this guy. Super high carbonation. Subdued sourness. More funk. Lighter bodied for 7%. So much depth and oak character. Absolutely exquisite. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Brendan Hughes is drinking a Coffee O'Hooleys by Jackie O's Brewery
More like a pint of cold brew than an O’Hooley’s, but nonetheless delicious. First time outdoors @ the Cbus location. Lovely

2017. Held up better than expected. Funky. Tart. Dry as a bone. Thanks for the complementary bottles Matt!
