Norrebro Helene Heather

The Fou Foune was amazing - huge apricot and a wonderful tartness... I'll need to get some more of that one! The Norrebro was great... too bad its now all sold out otherwise I'd be after a case!
With a little luck, we will see Helene again this fall.

It's really a shame we don't get any Bell's here. World class stuff, particularly their stouts. I miss being closer to Michigan.

GOOD POINT! Most of the guys here would weep if they saw the stock list at my local private store.

If it helps I won't be drinking much LOL.

The Duggan #9 are dangerously drinkable though... They must limit them to 4-packs for this reason! Packed with fresh flavor, love the complex malt layers under those nice hops.

Had a bottle of Coney Island Albino Python earlier. It's an unfiltered pale lager with witbier spices and a surprisingly pungent addition of ginger. Pretty delicious stuff, though I could understand the ginger putting some people off.
