2. 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriekenlambik Amy loves, bc she loves sour and funk. Not surprisingly, Stefan winces when he drinks it. Beer love Stefan
3. Allagash Coolship Resurgam A classic Geuze in everything but name! Balanced and very tasty. Beer love Stefan
4. Au Baron Cuvée des Jonquilles Very tasty, bit of a light malty taste. Drifts into Love but could be decent. More so here because it’s a great representation of a farmhouse ale. Beer love Stefan

6. Barrique Brewing & Blending Equal Parts Just a tasty pilsner!!! Beer love Stefan
7. Blaugies La Vermontoise I love it; Stef thinks it’s middling. We generally don’t like Hill Farmstead, but maybe I love it because it’s a collab between them and a Belgian brewery. A lighter tasting Hill Farmstead. Beer love Amy
8. Boon Framboise Very light rasberry beer - refreshing in summer Beer love Stefan
9. Boon Geuze Selection Tasty lambic. Get when you can. 8/1/26 - tasty as usual, but it is a keg fermented gueze so not quite as amazing as bottle conditioned. Tasty is a good classification. Beer love Stefan
10. Boon Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek Had in February 2022 at Monks cafe with Emma & Amy. Dark and purple but bright, really good. Sour finish. Beer love Stefan
