Re: Collective Arts
Two new collabs from these guys in a week! Found 3 other people to go in on a group buy with and split up the costs so I’ll be able to just commit to one or two of each instead of the whole 4-Pack https://collectiveartsbrewing.com/beers/ultra-soft/ https://collectiveartsbrewing.com/beers/tropical-di...

Had a Jam Hands 2020 last night. Very tart, acidic, and tannic this year
The nose is crazy nice, fresh raspberries

Re: Reverence Barrel Works
Had their Avidity , one of their launch Witbiers. Pretty standard profile I’d say with the Brett coming through as well. A ton of sediment but not unusual I suppose for the style! Decent. Wonder what the others will be like.

Re: Modern trends
Really, Jelly Kings being too sweet?! Damn. Literally don't think I've ever said that I tip my hat to you gents The next time you're going to have a black currant or whatever jelly King, have a regular one with it and compare. I think you'll see what I mean. True, I’ve never done it this way. Still...

I’ve been buying em too, the Hedonism lineshintriad wrote:Rorschach makes excellent, and generally very dry fruited sours, although they're a bit on the 'spensive side. Personally, I like a bit of sweetness in my sours, as long as it's balanced, and I think Bellwoods generally does a good job of it.

Re: Modern trends
I'm not so sure about that, at least lately. I try to keep up with new releases daily and I find the lagers and easy drinking stuff is getting snapped up pretty quickly. For instance it wasn't until the second round of Left Field's Ice Cold Beer that I managed to get any, same goes for releases lik...

Re: Modern trends
demand for something different than "your parent's beers" Definitely, but beyond that, it's even guys like me that are about 40 years old and were already drinking lagers and pilsners for years. Mostly because, a stroll through the Beer Store in the 90's/2000's was literally just shelves ...

Re: Modern trends
CounterPoint seems to be doing a good job of doing hazy, but light bodied IPAs that I consistently find very different and easy drinking vs the THICC Badlands style bombs. They’re super crushable, but thin bodied. In a good way IMO, great for summer. For sours I’m loving Half Hours on Earth. They’ve...

Re: Modern trends
I love Hazy IPAs because they share so many notes with cannabis. I actually call them the sativa of beers, because they have so many common terpenes I love fruited sours, because they are interesting and utilize seasonal ingredients. I don’t care if they lean sweet. You can easily find pucker worthy...
