Fab formeg is drinking a Chunky Buttons by Monkish Brewing Co.
Another wonderful NEIPA from Torrance, CA! Enigma gave some herbal and spiced hints to the classic Citra notes. Nice bitter finish. Crazy stuff! Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I confirm that at least Monkish beers seem to be better on can than on tap!

Juicy, smooth and tasty as f*ck! Citra+Motueka at their best in a NEIPA take. It's truly exciting to have the chance to drink at home certain US masterpieces in this amazing shape: it was impossible just a few years ago. It feels like being in California!

Fab formeg: Monkish mixed session 3/4
Chris Campbell: You've been getting some excellent brews from USA. Congrats. No idea how expensive shipping is but I'd volunteer to send you beer if you'd ever want any.
Fab formeg: Chris C. Thank you very much my friends! 😊 Yes, is pretty expensive but it's worth it! There's some beers I can't find, maybe you can help me? 🍻
Chris Campbell: Fab f. I'll get whatever beers that are available to me if you want them. I can get Xul Brewing from Knoxville easily & i get over to Asheville, NC. Burial is the best of the beers from over there, but many,many other breweries in Asheville to choose from
Fab formeg is drinking a Scores of Spores by Monkish Brewing Co. at Luppolo Station
Monkish mixed session 2/4: Like the previous IPA but with a more important, long, progressive yet always elegant bitterness. This time too I suspect that in a can it would have been even more incisive and intense. Maybe it's just my impression, but...

Sandro N.: Questa me la ricordo proprio "massiccia" 😉
Fab formeg: Sandro N. Ottima! Ma ribadisco la mia impressione: queste bombe hoppy americane le preferisco in latta, nonostante stiamo parlando del servizio in uno dei migliori pub italiani (quindi la variabile linea sporca/fusto maltrattato è esclusa).
Fab formeg is drinking a Lost In Your Eyes by Monkish Brewing Co. at Luppolo Station
Very soft, velvety, but not as tasty as you'd expect. That something that makes an excellent beer a memorable one is missing. These bombs served on tap often lose some brightness, I prefer them on can. As for Monkish we'll have the counter-proof shortly.

Troy Dupuis: They make excellent triples
Fab formeg: Troy D. Great beers but here seems to me to be better if served on can rather than on draft. Still awesome stuff! 🍻
Troy Dupuis: Hopefully they have a triple ipa there from them.
Fab formeg: Troy D. I hope! Monkish is such an amazing brewery!
Late check-in. Apart from a little diacetyl, very good! A good way to start this edition of FrankenBierFest.
