Episode 116 - Trillium, Again

We’re all too eager to try more from Boston’s Trillium Brewing Company as we were positively gobsmacked by their beers last time. This time around, we have MC Johnsen from Worth 1000 Beers to help us review these five offerings and steer us into some serious streams of consciousness. We talk a bit about Trillium’s expanded production and second location, saison brewing, and hop blindness. For the digressions on this one, we go deep on candy (of course), feeling cheese, bad accents, ranch-flavored things, elbow dancing, and The Eagles. There’s an exciting announcement for our Patreon patrons; Craig shares his report on new craft beers at U.S. Cellular this season; MC promotes her “RAW” event at the Metro; and Ryan joins the creamy revolution.   Help nominate us for a Podcast Award by going to podcastawards.com and entering “ABV Chicago” in the Arts category between April 15th and April 30th.   Rankings   Ryan Pot & Kettle Oatmeal Porter Sleeper St. IPA Double Dry-Hopped Fort Point Pale Ale Melcher St. IPA Free Rise Saison   MC Melcher St. IPA Double Dry-Hopped Fort Point Pale Ale Pot & Kettle Oatmeal Porter Sleeper St. IPA Free Rise Saison   Craig Double Dry-Hopped Fort Point Pale Ale Pot & Kettle Oatmeal Porter Sleeper St. IPA Melcher St. IPA Free Rise Saison
