Message gnoff P beers 11277 º places 838 º 17:27 Wed 7/12/2017 Those bringing stuff from Lithuania, if you haven’t decided, takes requests, and can find it easy enough. Got one mead from there I haven’t had: Dundulis Devyniaragio (9%) from Panevėžio alus (Dundulis) Anything from Sakiškių alus Not rated any, and much of theirs seem highly rated, at least the black stuff, which I happen to love. Not too long to go!

Message gnoff P beers 11277 º places 838 º 18:40 Wed 7/12/2017 Seems the special characters on that above didn’t work so well... If anyone sits on some faro I’d be interested as well, only ever rated 5, looking at any of the remaining 13 to try and get that style to 10 or more, which seems hard from where I’m at :) Any special requests from Sweden, preferably something I can find at Systembolaget, since breweries can’t sell beer above 3.5% to bring home, or if in Göteborg I might be able to ask them to send a "yeast sample" for me to bring with.

Not too long to go! Some Sakiškių stuff is available in Estonia. Ratebeer’s travel list should give decent overview what’s available in Estonia. Also this untappd list should be really helpful: https://untappd.com/v/kohtmoonshine-bar/669673 (there are some mistakes, i.e. Chimay BA version is wrong, but most of it is correct).

Deveti’s a great place to go on the way to the bus station as a final destination, as it’s about 250m away, down Sodu. Might be available in Riga too, as there’s a bar that specialises in Dundulis beers that’s on our official crawl.

Message jinroh beers 4531 º places 5 º 11:11 Thu 7/13/2017 Hi again! Things are getting more interesting now. Voting for IPA’s type ended up with a tie between Rye IPA and Double IPA (5-5-2). So upon consulting with Sori, we took the liberty to combine these two types - so we will be having a Double Rye IPA, 8.5% Next thing will be hops and twists. These are the options: 1. Single hop Ekuanot 2. Belma and Calypso hops & Cherry wood chip ageing 3. NZ Hops: Rakau & Pacifica 4. Coffee infused IPA with Calypso hops Please express your opinion here: http://bit.ly/2tMTQcT After that, it will be just beer’s name and label - and we have co-designed a new beer! Cheers! jinroh
