Tacos and beer man, tacos and beer. Monkish is killing it!

Yeah I e had a few of their beers. Theyre really good.

Jester King has a few collaborations with Jolly Pumpkin.

Both very good.

How are the brews?

A little nightcap Double Orange Starfish.

I forgot to include this list of bottle offerigs from Monkish, while I was there the other day. They were sold as on site consumption only

I would have loved to bring some of those back with me. The 3 I had were so F'ing tasty!

I want those.

Nothing's as west coast as my beloved Sticky Hands.

All the IPAs I had at Monkish were NEIPA style juice bombs. They really nailed the style...I mean seriously nailed the style!

I'd put their IPAs up in the same league as many of the heavy hitters out here in the NE. Their sour game though, is absolutely amazing. No kettle sours to be found, just lots of Brett and wild fermented stuff, and funky farmhouse stuff.

No wonder they are so well known amongst beer enthusiasts nation wide.

Lol...I was talking about the pookster's brews...but those bottles of sours from monkish are better than any west coast IPA for sure!

Gotcha. There are some killer WC IPAs out there. I tried a few at Angel City brewery in LA, and I wasn't impressed. AC Brewery did have a great 13% Barrel rye barrel aged lager, and a tasty Berliner, so I was still pretty satisfied with their operation. Plus, the AC Brewery is cool as hell, and freaking huge, with a bunch of fun stuff to do in there while getting your drink on.

Your photos from monkish were awe-inspiring. There brews have been on the bucket list for awhile. Sadly I've never seen any of them anywhere here in the area.

You should come over here to the Portland area. Then we could get hoity toity beer at Breakside, Block 15, and Claim 52.

They brewed a collab with Trillium the night before I went over there, so I got to see the brew fermenting, which was pretty neat.

Notice the blow off tube in the back fermenter that looks like Orange Juice? That's the Trillium collab fermenting away.

I haven't been to Portland in years...like 8 or 9 years. They had a great beer scene while I was out there, I bet it's only gotten better.

 

[t0mato]

That's beautiful. Looks like fresh fruit juice for sure.

Last one...

I'll join you for another. Cheers! I'm staying up, germinating some seeds for the season.
