It's quite a lot 'cleaner'. Sort of a strong America Pilsener. Almost.

Re: Firkin Wednesdays @ Rockbottom Brewpub
Hi Sandy, I will get there by 4:30 or so; if I can pick up the gasket then great, will bring cash. If you have any hop rhizomes I would like to take one of those as well
See you there in any case.

Re: Firkin Wednesdays @ Rockbottom Brewpub
I will be there by 5 tomorrow and have quite a few extra hop rhizomes (Nugget originally from Jayme) if anybody would be willing to take some. I would hate to see them go to waste. Put some into large planters last week, seemingly very healthy and have already pushed through the surface.

Re: Firkin Wednesdays @ Rockbottom Brewpub
Firkin day today, any word on what's on? I'm thinking of stopping by if only to try the new Hali-lager.

Hali-lager is OK. Not a Nash Bomb but for a "Chrispy" lager it is good.

It's a wee lil' crispy thang
Firkinator is..... IBL
(India Black Lager) 7.1% ABV, derived from Intergalactic SMaSH so it drinks like a black IPA.

Re: Firkin Wednesdays @ Rockbottom Brewpub
I had a window at 7:00ish and stopped in for a pint. Nice beer as usual. I haven’t done a IBA but I think a small bit of roast and/or chocolate would be nice.
