^ nice. Never had it. I’ve always enjoyed new glarus, but admittedly I don’t drink a ton of WI beer.
They’re only about 4-5 years old, just outside of Milwaukee. A few doctor’s actually started the brewery and they make some really potent stuff, but with a lot of flavor. It’s been my favorite since we moved here 7 years ago. New Glarus is awesome as well. They do really well on pales and pilsners. More “warm weather” type of beer.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.
Haven’t been posting many beers lately, but this DIPA is dynamite. Arguably Chicagoland’s best brewery right now; Hop Butcher. This is a nod to Chicago style hot dogs with the “Neon Green Relish” name. I can assure you it doesn’t taste like relish! Lol

That might be my favorite beer from Hop Butcher. So damn good. Happy they brought it back so quickly again!

^ Nice work! That’s impressive. How did the older ones taste? 12 years is a long time.
They all held up mostly. The 2007 was, as expected, the worst of them from an age standpoint. The 2012 and 2014 were the best by a decent margin. 2008 was still great...but on the verge.

Good stuff. So 5-6 years seems to be the sweet spot. I usually drink them before they reach that point, but I have some from 16, 17 and 18 I’ll let reach the 5 year mark.

Yes, we thought 4-6 years...but 2013 was significantly not as good as 2012 and 2014. Not sure why. Depending on how many you have of each year, I'd try 1 at 4, 5 & 6 and see what you think. Though everyone is different, the 2012 and 2014 were the favorites of everyone and we didnt share ranks until done.

12 & 14 were very good years so that might have something to do with it.
So someone had brought this up on LD about GOT beers. I counted them last night and there are 16 of them. If you count the ones they reissued then there are 19 I believe.
I have them all including the Knight King. I'll have to take a pic of them all together. I tried finding more info on line but found nothing with them all in a row.

Picked up a 12 pack of an assortment reserve collection and enjoyed the extra little kick this porter gave.

This 12 year vertical (2007-2018) of BCBS was epic.
