It'a a 2018 Transient Bark Lord. It's still an adjunct beast. I'd like to try it again in 5 years or so to see how it's mellowed.

I brew some really good beer so it helps but like a sandwich, you always like something prepared by someone else.

We're pretty spoiled here, not only for the locals but the distribution footprint. Just due to the sheer market size and amount of great, assessable beers, Chicago doesn't get hyped as much as STL, Florida, California, or New England. I'd say the only hole in our game right now are consistently good wild/sours.

BKS was great as usual. I love how clean and non-fussy his sours are. Thanks for sending it!. The Dawg was diabeetus greatness. Standouts of night for me was the Allagash Coolship Red. It comes very close to JK Atrial which is an all time favorite of mine. I also brought the Modem Tones Date Shake which is amazing. Modern Times has probably my favorite barrel program going right now. They're all great and produced at a level that most are fairly easy to acquire.
