    My presumption is that is only for people who pay and support the app but idk.

    Strawberry is a very tough fruit for beer from my experience...that beer...

    No one I’ve met (home brewer or commercial) can get good strawberry flavor in beer

    It's very hard. I've tried a few times and different ways and none of them I have been happy with

    Kudos to them! I’d love to see their process haha. I don’t even know what it is about strawberries that is hard for brewers to pull off.

    I had no idea it was that tricky, tbh, but then again you never really see strawberry in beer so I guess that’s why. I just never really noticed before.

    But idk, they make some of the best stouts I’ve ever had so I’m not surprised they did this one well haha

    Love the one from New Glarus. And I’ve had some truly incredible strawberry mead, but that’s obviously a very different story.

    Wow! Quite an incredible bottle share. Standouts being Call to Mind - Suarez, East Bank: Grape Merlot and Wedding Anniversary 5th Year Blend - Casey, Dry-hopped Blurred Sb - Rare Barrel, The Archer Reserve Cuvée - De Garde, Gueuze (2018) - Cantillon, Anna (2014) - Hill Farmstead, Don’t Be So Gloomy - Sante Adairius, and Existence - Creature Comforts. Honestly, every single beer I tried was very good and many were fantastic.

    are those prices typical for this brewery? I know a place around me gets their stuff but I haven't ever bought any but if that's the going rate... no thanks... too much other good stuff out there now that costs less.

    I saw someone today who is awaiting the results of their Cicerone Master exam. They said there are only 18 in the world. Crazy.

    I don’t think they’re normally quite this high, it’s probably this high because of the cross-country shipping and stuff.

    OH just did a drop in Charlotte NC and each ipa/dipa 4pk was like $23 each. Woof.

    NY prices lol most of their haze 4-packs range from $18-$22. Could be factoring in travel costs too. It’s honestly worth it though.
