You ain't lyin', Gregory! All of the names are super long, but man is the label art fantastic! Going to start diving into the hop-forward ones ASAP. They sound so good! Curtis hooked it up, for sure. Cheers, buddy!

@@greensombrero3641 🤣I’ll be your buddy!

The Beer PaTroll: bringing beer nerds together since 2018, LMAO! Curtis is the man, without question. Outside of having great taste in beer, he's also a fantastic individual. Cheers, dudes!

The few beers I've had from them = awesome stuff. It's hilarious because after I talked to Curtis post-unboxing, I mentioned to him that you recently took advantage of their free shipping offer, much like he did. Pretty dang cool overall! Cheers, Wes!

What a good guy! C: Nice beer mail vid courtesy of you!!!

you da man, man

I don't think you were the dumbass, but you did a great job of throwing me off the scent, haha! I was legit surprised at pretty much everything in the box, especially since it was an almost all-Burial box of goodies. I cannot wait to dive into all these beers, dude. Thank you so much for the generosity, as always! Emmett and Green Sombrero know that you're the man, too! Cheers, buddy!

LOL! This beer is damn solid, but oatmeal cookies? More like mocha cookies. Those probably don't exist, though. No worries, dude! Just appreciate you chiming in from time to time. Hope all is well. Thanks, man! Cheers!

LMAO! Just know how to use a flashlight, baby! Definitely looking for ... not contraband, but totally some lighter colors, haha! Thanks, Gregory! Cheers!

Nice! I was worried that you thought it was much better or perhaps the oatmeal cookie character fell off, but glad to know that we had a similar opinion. I think it's a damn solid Oatmeal Milk Stout, but really didn't get any oatmeal cookie flavor. I appreciate you sending a can for to review. It was fun, as always! BTW, 29 F and 2-5 inches of snow expected overnight. It never stops, Billy! Cheers, sir!

That's fair. My 4/5 is probably more of a B+, but I could see a B. This is a solid, run-of-the-mill IPA. Definitely quaffable, well-priced and enjoyable, but not doing anything crazy. A "fridge" IPA, as in if this was year-round, you could stock your fridge with it for friends who come over or whenever you want to reach for an IPA that's good and affordable. Cheers, man!

Then you'd love this one, dude! Very good Oatmeal Milk Stout. Body and mouthfeel are great. Classic characteristics of said style. The only issue I had is that it's called an Oatmeal Cookie Stout, and it tasted nothing like one. Still a damn solid beer, though! Cheers, man!

Nice! Dominic mentioned that one in the comments. I haven't seen it yet, but I'd totally try an Imperial Italian Pilsner, without question. I dig find a can of 30 Minute IPA that I want to review in a few weeks, then the 75 Minute IPA when I eventually find it. Sorry you didn't like the Super Doppio. I do think Imperial Pilsners are weird, so not sure I'd love it, either. Definitely different, though. Cheers, Chaz!

Yeah, I guess this technically is very White Russian-like, but not exactly like one. Considering the ingredients for a White Russian, it all makes sense. I think you'd dig this one. Dude, it was my pleasure! I had a lot of fun in a short period of time. Great meeting you and the GF, buddy! Next time I'm down there -- or you're up in this area -- we'll hang again! Cheers, Anderson!

Nice! Definitely one of my favorite Mexican Lagers. Cheers, man!

Oh, no? I know we get them here in Buffalo, and I believe Pittsburgh gets them, too. They're pretty cool and probably the best part about the can for me, haha! I'm a diehard Sabres fan. It's rough, LOL! Cheers again, Richard!

I remember hearing about that. Weird they changed the ABV, but I wonder if it has something to do with it now being brewed at the Genesee Brewing Company in Rochester, NY? Feel like that would make some sense, but who knows. Appreciate the information and comment, Richard! Cheers!

Yes, Genesee is brewing Labatt and Blue Light. You can tell the products that are coming from Rochester because it will say “Pristine Pilsner “ on the Label. The Canadian made Labatt will say “Canadian Pilsner “. Here in Pennsylvania we still get most of our Labatt from Canada. We are getting some Labatt that Genesee brews though.

Interesting. I think it'd be cool to do a side-by-side of the American and Canadian brewed offerings at some point, just to see if the 0.3% ABV -- and where it's brewed -- makes a huge difference or not.

The can art is great, for sure! I think $13.99 is more in-line with what I'd expect this beer to be, but it was a few bucks more expensive here, which is a bummer. That said, it's very good for what it is, and I'm glad DFH goes back to their roots from time to time. I can't wait to revisit 75 Minute IPA, too. Sucks about that Imperial Stout Trooper Glass being the same shape as this one. I'm also counting down the days until I throw this one out because it crumbled in my hands as I wash it, haha! Hope your weekend is a good one, Rick! Cheers, buddy!

Nice! It seems like many folks did. Nice that they're still kicking out some beers like this that scream classic DFH. Cheers, Jeff!

LMAO! Glad it only took you eight seconds. Had to throw a few of those bad boys up there, SONS! Too good (both in terms of the beer itself and label) to not go behind me! DFH still kicking out some good beer. Can't wait for that 75 Minute IPA. Haven't had it in like 10-12 years. Cheers, Curtis!

@ Those are all good choices! The Dankhouse can is I think one of the best I’ve ever seen and I really like that Side Project can design as well. I was surprised you went with Alto Body Experience over Goblin mode but really can’t go wrong with a Hoof can. Lol. I’ve never had 75 minute. Had 60 and 90 years ago a bunch and 120 minute twice. I’m sure 75 minute is somewhere between 60 and 90 minute. 😆

I went with the Alto Body Experience over Goblin Mode just because I wanted two straight alien-themed cans next to one another. The other one is from Service Brewing, and I think they look cool next to one another. Really? Damn! 75 Minute IPA is just like 60 and 90 Minute where it's continually hopped for 75 minutes, but they also brew it with maple syrup from Sam Calagione's family farm. I liked it more than 60 and 90, honestly. It used to come in a big 750 ml bottle.

@ Makes total sense next to another alien can! I apparently know nothing about 75 minute because I didn’t know it had maple syrup. That’s pretty awesome. I’ll have to see if I can find it at some point.

It only comes in their new variety pack. Haven't seen it yet, but hoping a beer store or two breaks it up so I can grab it without needing to buy the entire thing, haha!

Oh, I'm aware, Billy. We'll hopefully get some in your hands by the end of the year, buddy! 16 F and super cold. I wish it was close to 50 F here! Cheers, buddy!

It tastes good, but you have to watch the review to find out exactly how it tastes! Cheers!

Yeah, it's quite good. Old school IPA fans = this is their jam. When I checked the website after the review, I noticed that. Haven't seen it locally. I did pickup their 30 Minute IPA yesterday, and I'm hoping to grab the 75 Minute IPA at some point. Cheers, man!

Never reviewed that one specifically, but I've reviewed a ton of the Lollipop series. Their Naked Lollipop is a lighter version. Not as thick and goopy, more similar to a traditional sour beer. Fun series, though. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks, sir! Cheers!

Very nice beer, for sure. Yeah, some people get enamored with complexity in beers, but I'm always of the opinion if the beer is delicious -- it's delicious -- regardless of the complexity. Appreciate the comment! Cheers!

That sounds like an insane weekend, haha! Winning $3K and drinking double White Russians all weekend long? SIGN ME UP! Well, not anymore ... but 20 years ago? For sure. Cheers, Joe!

Totally agree. One of my favorite UK breweries from the ones we get imported into the US. This is up there towards the top of the list for me. Appreciate the comment! Cheers!

Yeah, the Broken Skull IPA > Lager, for sure. Much prefer this beer. What IPA from Sierra Nevada did you try? Torpedo or Hazy Little Thing? Cheers, again!

@@averagejoe716 i think it was the pale al the original flavor. I grew up like a half an hour from the Brewing Company but never was a fan,.if you want to know my taste in what beers i enjoy .this will give you an idea what I like. my go to is Heineken becks, red stripe, modelo's , but i also enjoy .Corona, sapporo beer, Rolling Rock ,Newcastle Brown Ale ,stone cold ipa ,Foster's Australian beer,blue Labatt,Mickey's Malt,Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy

Nice!

I could see that, Trever. For me, it tastes like dirty lemonade. Super refreshing, but definitely not like a Mike's Hard Lemonade, or any real lemonade. Cheers!

Right? I actually reviewed the Quad as a "Whodunit" beer -- essentially a "Mystery" beer -- a bit later, and liked it a skosh more, but still prefer the Whiskey Stout. Appreciate the comment, Billy! Cheers!

Yes, sir! Such a good movie. "SHUT THE F*CK UP, DONNY!" Good beer, for sure. Thanks, Gregory! Cheers!

Nice, Rodney! Not a bad price point, but a little steeper than the $25-29/12 pack for the variety offering that I see around. Agreed that for that price point, it should be a 16 fl. oz can. I'm looking forward to the Big Yeti, for sure! Hope it's a good one. That Monte Carlo sounds nice, as well. We both had very similar opinions as far as ratings go, so I'm glad we're on the same page, haha! Cheers, sir!

I just roll with cream and a little creamer nowadays (which I guess is kind of like sugar). Don't use a ton, but it adds enough sweetness for me. It's 34 F right now with 30 MPH, and the gusts are hitting 50 MPH. Windy and wild outside, baby! Thanks again for the beer, Billy! Cheers!

You always copy me, Jesse. UNREAL! Looking forward to seeing the side-by-side, though. Both beers were good, but the NZ Sunrise = awesome for the ABV. Always fun trying new breweries out, for sure. Cheers, buddy!

Pretty simple reason: both beers use New Zealand hops. Many breweries do the same with New Zealand or Australian hops, so it makes sense. Not so much about paying homage to New Zealand itself, but more so about the hops that they brew the beer with. Tree House has done the same, as have many other breweries. Cheers!

@averagejoe716 Treehouse can afford to import Australian and NZ hops. Not sure how these small breweries can afford it.

I think it's one of those things where a brewery like this just buys from a company or companies that do all the legwork for them. Griffon, while relatively new and definitely small, have four Gastropub locations locally that have been very successful. Don't think money is much of an issue.

They did a great job with it, which is surprising just because it's hard to nail that S'more flavor in beer, IMO. Yep, totally an eight pack! Weird as heck. Don't think I've ever seen eight packs. Do you remember the brewery? All Imperial Beer Theme Month was definitely a lot of fun, but it's tough reviewing nothing but imperialized beer every single day. Nice to drink some "regular" beer this month, haha! Hope to see you tomorrow, duder! Cheer!

Nice! I can see that making sense in Wisconsin, haha! Cheers, man!

I'll consider it. I don't drink ginger beer much at all, but I'm curious that there is a 7% zero sugar offering. Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers!

Appreciate it, man! Honestly, I still haven't gotten out there and I'm only like 30 minutes away. I just don't up that way unless I'm going to Brewed & Bottled, so I have to make a trip a priority at some point. Cheers, buddy!

It definitely was a delicious cooooooovvvvvvveeeeeee! 20 F and freezing rain on the way tonight, Billy. No bueno! Cheers, buddy!

I had it under the table to replenish me after another long review, haha! Cheers!

It's definitely interesting and unique. Worth a try, without question. Not better than the Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, though. The fruit character is most certainly unique. Cheers, Dan!

Nice, Ralph! It's funny to see all the varying opinions about a beer like this. My preference is Coors Light > Miller Lite > Bud Light. Of course, I don't drink American Light Lagers all that much, so it's not really a big debate for me or anything. I'd much rather go with Miller High Life or Coors Banquet if I'm drinking a BMC beer. I always try to keep it real and honest, and I appreciate folks chiming in with their opinion because discussions like this is what makes it fun for me. Cheers, buddy!

I can talk about anything for over 14 minutes, Anderson! Now, will it be interesting? Probably not ... BUT WELCOME TO THE BEER PATROLL, BABY! Looking forward to those reviews. I've been watching recently, but not commenting due to time constraints. I'll make sure to comment on some of those, good sir! Cheers, brother!

It's a solid beer, but nothing super crazy. Unique, though. Cheers, Brennagon!

#PROPERGLASSWAREBABY It's 21 F and snowed again. Rinse and repeat. Some freezing rain on Thursday. It's wild, Billy! Cheers, buddy!

No way I'd pay $18 for it. Wegmans was charging $13.99, which is probably appropriate for what it is. I think you probably made the right call, but if you see a single -- or a cheap four pack -- it's worth giving it a go. Fonio adds a cool dimension to this one, but I don't think it's big enough to justify this as a must-try beer. Definitely quaffable, but not life-changing whatsoever. Cheers, sir!

Feels, bruh!

That is a pretty cool random fact, Aaron! Yeah, this isn't anything crazy, but the Fonio is unique enough that it doesn't taste anything like a regular Guinness. Honestly, it's a fun beer to try, but it's not anything crazy. I'd love to see more breweries utilize Fonio, though. Seems like a fun grain. Appreciate the comment, and glad you enjoyed the review, man. Cheers!

@@averagejoe716how was your palet compromised sorry that happened

All I meant by that, Brennagon, is I was sharing/drinking a bunch of different beers prior to drinking this one (when I originally had it), so it wasn't on a fresh palate, hence my palate being compromised. It's way different drinking this on a fresh palate. That's all.

@@averagejoe716oh oops the way it sounded to me like you couldn’t taste anything my bad Joe

LOL! Definitely a marketing ploy, to some degree, but this is worth grabbing if you see a single, or a four pack that's reasonably priced. Not setting a new standard whatsoever, but the Fonio adds enough uniqueness that it's worth trying once. Cheers, buddy!

About the same appreciation, honestly. I understand why people enjoy this beer and drink it, but it's just not something that works for me personally. While you mentioned yesterday about this having less of a corn taste than MHL, I actually prefer a bit more flavor -- even if it's corn or rice -- than something that is quite watery tasting. I don't drink PBR or this enough to really comment on this tasting like a lighter version of PBR, but I could see it. All things considered, I still prefer non-light macro lagers over light macro lagers. I think most of them are a bit fuller body-wise and I prefer the slightly more robust flavor. Cheers!

Cheers!

Not me ... LMAO! It's fine for what it is. Just doesn't have much flavor, haha! Cheers!

Yeah, that sounds like a store I'd stop shopping at. That's ridiculous. Most of the beers should be fine, but when you're using adjuncts, they can totally fall off quickly, so I wouldn't have chanced it. If it were the 2024 offering, I would agreed that it's an easy buy. That sucks. Cheers, man!
