This was pretty good! Clean hazy, lightly bitter, drinks easy and "pint-able"... I probably enjoyed this more than the recent Juice on Juice of I'm being honest.

Michael N. is drinking a Vanilla BA Double Coconut DPV by Brewlihan
Oh I guess I was the person who brought the mag of this to Brussels, huh? I suppose I should rate it. Anyway, yeah, quite delicious; coconut is present but not prominent. Vanilla rounds it all out, lovely pear brandy finish. Luxury cake mead. Terrific.

Michael N. is drinking a What Have You by Human People at Human People Beer Cafe
Very, very tasty hazy from these skilled lagermakers at their new spot! This beer was pillowy soft & went down remarkably smooth. Tropical juice, light bitter bite. The new space (visited last Thursday for the soft opening) is very cool. Congrats, HP! 👏



Michael N. is drinking a Mizunara Beyond Forever by Private Press Brewing at Toronado
Alright, I wasn't gonna check this in but it's *that* good. This beer is smoooooth, light fruit notes, vanilla oak, and a hint of hotness (crazy given its ABV). Barkeep said "great way to finish" w/o knowing it's my last beer. He was right. I'm drunk.
Likely the last time I'll ever get to try this beer but what a privilege. It still bangs quite well, asserting itself as a stout 🐐 even after a number of years. The vanilla has plenty of fudgy, rich flavor, lots of malt; creamy; barrel heat. It's great.
