Yes, all their recipes are either extract or all-grain. As for recommendations, I would probably suggest a pale ale, kolsh, wheat, or maybe an amber to start. Those are all fairly simple ingredients/technique/yeast-wise. But it all really depends on your taste preference. And no worries on the questions, glad to try and help.

 

*looks around* This place looks familiar.

 

We're leaning towards a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. Thank you so much! I'll PM if there are any more questions.

 

Found a bottle of Firestone Walker's Sour Opal that was bottled back in May 2017. Happy I found it, can't wait to let it age more and try it.

 

Yet another Kane online release comes and goes where I can't buy beer from the brewery I'm at every weekend. One of these days I'll stop getting my hopes up for online sales. Really hate this community sometimes.

 

Podcast Episode 29: Monkish Founders: The Techniques Behind Their IPAs

Listening to this podcast with the founders of Monkish and it's a pretty interesting listen. They talk some about their process for IPA's and they don't do a lot of what's considered necessary for the NEIPA style.

 

I still am bitter about Monkish

 

Haha they talk a little about their switch to IPA's and how they've toyed with the idea of just abruptly not making them anymore

 

Ooh I wanna listen to this tonight.

 

I wish!! I just am bitter because they used to have an extremely unique concept (especially at the time) and then mostly abandoned it to switch to what was currently hip

 

Aka switched to probably stay afloat ;)

 

I knowwwww haha. I just wish that the existence of the IPAs didn't mean the dissolution of the belgians. If they kept doing what they were doing and ADDED the new line (see The Bruery), then it wouldn't have been as big of a deal

 

For sure I hear ya. I’m way more into Belgians than I ever have been and I don’t buy NEIPA’s anymore because the best ones all taste basically the same, imo.

 

It looks like they've started to get back into Belgians a little more and doing some barrel aged stuff looking at their website

 

Yeah they never quite stopped exactly, just made less. Like.. in the beginning there were always about 10 beers on draft, all belgians. They started making the IPAs and some days there were only 2 belgians on tap. Recently it's been a much better mix, but overall it's kinda a crapshoot. Makes it harder to just wander on over to hang out, I have to look ahead more often to make sure it's worth a visit

 

invest in my brewery steve and then i'll name a belgian beer after you that i guarantee will be on tap 6 months out of the year

 

Man, I wish I had a place that was anywhere near as good as Monkish that I could wander over to. All the places in my town/area range from bad to meh.

 

how much money do you want? I'll pitch in $20 or somethin!

 

Move to LA!

 

I'm in for this, but I demand my beer be a pastry stout that's only released in 100 bottles every 2 years.

 

the new Blue Point Brewery location will be directly across the street from my front door. Both exciting and terrifying at the same time. Last few years they've put out some delicious beers.

 

Wow, $200,000 investment?! You're so generous.

Haha, i don't want to make a pastry stout though. But for the right price....

 

Haha yeah could be dangerous if you're not careful. My wife's sister and her husband live in Patchogue so I know they're big down there but I don't think I've actually ever had anything from them.

 

Just release the beer directly to the secondary market. That's where they all go anyway. $2k a bottle will make it worth doing.

 

haha, is the Kane release still on your mind?
