Goodness, I love their Bohemian Lager so much, but I've been disappointed to not see it now for...maybe 2 years? I always look for it at TJ's, and have appreciated their Josephsbrau line, but I'll have to revisit PLZNR now.

I was pleasantly surprised by TJ's PLZNR and their ( I think ) Mission Street IPA. Nothing world-beating, but really enjoyable beers for being 'store brand' and so inexpensive.

Now their Simpler Times and Boatswain ranges ... yikes. Some of the most vile drinks I've ever had. It doesn't surprise me to see that those are contract brewed by Minhas, who seems to mostly specialize in cheap adjunct lager and malt liquor.

As long as you serve it cold!

Looks far worse in the pictures than in reality, though it is an unfiltered beer and slightly hazy.

do you get Jack's Abby beers down your way? "Copper Ridge" is probably my favorite domestic festbier for 2020.

A nice write up (and I am half-way through a bottle of Pride as I write and am a tad biased as I am a Tour Guide at the Griffin Brewery... well, I was pre-lockdown)
However, London Pride, despite its style, isn��t a top-fermenting beer.
The Fuller��s conical vessels required the yeast to evolve/mutate to be more bottom-fermenting...
JK (aka John Keeling, brewer in Chiswick man and boy before being head brewer and eventually retiring) used to say that Fuller��s beer ferment in the middle.
And you��re right... have some Porter soon!

I've developed a certain fondness for the Czech manner of categorizing beer, or at least what I understand of it. If half the beers available to me are going to be a blur of IPAs, I'd at least like a solid idea of their color / strength / clarity instead of having to divine it from the fancy can art.

Al: Could real ale in a box in a bag overcome all the logistical problems that the geography and climate that the USA presents to cask ale?

A lot of UK pubgoers purchased this and found this satisfactory. Most importantly it retained it's freshness longer than a metal firkin? Would like to hear your thoughts.

Hey, great to get the band back together, even if for this one last gig. I discovered this opportunity a bit late, but I will share my thoughts... https://www.deepbeer.com/journal/2020/6/3/beer-drinking-the-quarantine-edition

I'm a little jealous of your BYO Wegmans selection. Even at the nicer stores ours seems to be cans / bottles of bigger craft ( ie: Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada ) and the same three local-ish breweries, all of which tend to be hovering around their "best before" date.

Great work. Thanks Al!
