What else members are drinking

Flatter than the Brewtea, which accentuates some of the herbality of the hops. Bergamot is at the forefront here, there's less drying from the tea. It's good but not as good as the other one.
Draft
A very mild bitter with a nice dryness from the tea. Light esters and an unidentifiable fruit roundness on top of the yeast. Quite decent.
Bottle
This is really pleasant to drink. You can see the similarity to the Midday, but with that bit of roast added in ups the game. Interestingly, it doesn't have the bitter bite of the Midday. This really tastes like what I'd imagine a dark rice lager to be rather than any other dark lager type, which makes it worth it!
Draft
This doesn't work for me. It has the sourness of an oud bruin, but it feels kind of tacked-on to the base doppelbock, which is kind of inoffensively sweet. The net result, with no funk or depth to balance it out, is a real kind of vinegary simpleness to the flavor.
Draft
Funky saison, up-front sweetly floral, finishing with a bit of horse blanket and bitterness. Not totally sure I get rosemary here other than in some woodiness. Leaves the tongue feeling a bit fuzzy.
Draft
Not bad at all, actually, athough it doesn't do anything to convince me that the "white stout" style isn't a scam. This tastes more like a sweet-ish coffee blonde rather than anything stout. It's a nice kind of toasty flavor but there's no real depth of body here (maaaaaybe that's the point). It is clean and tasty.
Bottle
Starts out feeling a little watery; a lightly sweet, tangy lager. However, there's an interestingly bracing bitterness, almost woody, that dominates the second half of the sip. Appreciate the hit.
Draft
The most "normal" beer here, it's a sweet citrus/pith hazy that finishes pretty much exactly as it starts. Lingering alpha.
The flattest beer, almost makes me think of a nitro pour. More sour on the finish than the others. Feel murky; I got more of my stout fix from the Conejo Azteca.
Like the Alebrijes, but with the addition of roast and a little coffee. Which makes it an improvement. It's also a little more carbonated, which helps.
A little watery, accentuated by this being mostly flat. A little corn sweetness, with a slightly tart finish.
Tropical hops, fragrant and fruity, dominate the opening here. This beer is bright and crisp and dances on the tongue before resolving into a sweet cereal finish. A little bit essential-oily but it’s nice.
Toffee, butter caramel, wood. Dissipating and dry, this is a beer for sore taste buds. Wonderful.
Extremely clean-tasting pale ale; fragrant, piney, a round, non-specific fruit character that gives this a champagne character. Refreshing, easy-drinking.
A roasty-cream coffee stout, a little sweeter than I'd prefer, but at least there's a dry finish. Lactose?
Cloudy-funky lager, somewhat citrus-infused. There's definitely some heat in this, although it's not as assertive as I'd have guessed with ghost peppers. Of all of these, this is the most drinkable.
A lime-forward hop bomb that also seems to have that coconut overtone present in the Happy Hoh. Also: is not hazy at all?
An intensely alpha IPA, citrus rind, pine, and ... coconut? Almost?? Seems unlikely, but that's the flavor I'm getting.
Amber lager with a significant caramel backbone and aftertaste. Behind all that, a light grassy bitterness provides contrast. It's a very clean and light after the stouts.
Smells like strawberry jam. It doesn't 100% meld into the stout, which is robust and roasty. Note: if you mix this 50-50 with the Mrs. Voorhees it's pretty good.
