Fuse mentioned he was a big Ronald Dahl fan -
“The Whangdoodle is an imaginary creature of undefined character, often dismayed and discontent; a creature of sorrow in folklore and children's literature, most notably used by British authors Roald Dahl and Julie Andrews.”
How that relates to Veil using the name for a BBA Stout I have no idea. You might have gotten the Veil Oreo, RJ got the Veil Reese’s. I can’t remember.
I didn't see RJ's and I read most of the labels from you and Nrrrrvous and my (usually, pretty good) memory is that fuse got the Oreo variant. I'm pretty sure he got a Hornswoggler, too. I can't remember what I chose to "balance" the Hornswoggler. Too many great beers .

From last PM:
Devil's Tramping Ground-Aviator Brewing Company

Style-(imitation) Belgian tripel
Format-3/4 pint can
Stemware-Ommegang tulip
Appearance-light bronze; fizzy, short duration head

Trophy Brewing - This is a Movement not a Moment
Hazy IPA
Local to most folks on Ymm, Beer, From dd on a trade
Didn't know what to expect from this since the can says nothing about what it is and a quick search on Google gave me nothing beer related.
Must admit, it's pretty tasty. After all the fruit beers I''ve had recently it was kind of refreshing to get back to a little bitter IPA. Just a little bitter better.
Finished it off and kind of wished I had another, so it must've been good.
Cat 2 in a crowded field! Cool artwork on the can.

Well folks, I’m here for the relationships, not the forum.
While I won’t condone what was done, I’d rather be someplace where I can continue the conversation including mattman91.
Not goodbye per se. I will be taking my beer musings to crazietalk.net .
I hope to see the folks that make this the best thread on DBR will consider the same.
See you on the other side.
Skol! 🍻

Deshutes 2017 The Abyss
I’ll keep playing. Head-first, as it were. This has been laying down in storage for a good long time. And it has aged wonderfully. Mellowed a lot. The flavors are still complex, but way less harsh. An absolutely terrific imperial stout. High Cat 3 ... if that’s still a thing. Patience has been rewarded.

Hi Wire Brewing - Hazy and Juicy and Hoppy and Fresh ?
7.5%
20IBU
Double Dry Hopped NEIPA
Another good IPA. Not quite as tasty as the one last night from Trophy but still pretty tasty.
I believe this one was a trader from devildeac. Might be the one from Mattman. Can't remember exactly.
I'd say it's a solid Cat 2 in a very crowded field.
