Salden’s Tula Ale. “Local” beer Made with Tula water, Tula malt, and Chuvashian hops. No word on the yeast, so it’s probably imported 
Salden’s Lime Double IPA. Tastes like shampoo.

Unibroue contract ale from 2020. Haven’t seen if Trader Joe’s has this years version.
Second glass paired with a plate of lobster ravioli for lunch. Too expensive and time consuming to make so I buy a bunch at Costco during Christmas season and freeze them each year. One of my favorite foods.

@IrishBoy I have had a few of those Trader Joe Vintage Ales and I think they are great value each year I get one.
2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2021 and 2022 so far!
Over 100 people used to rate these beers on the site when I first had one, less than 20 these days!

BlackHaddock, I had Trader Joe’s Vintage Ale 06 to 11, 13, and 20. I don’t go to Trader Joe’s much anymore except to get some of their port wines and seldom look at the beers. Guess I need to go when I have time to explore the beer selection. Really not much in ratings for a long time but love to find barrel aged beers and all the dark styles.
Today a really good new Firestone BA barleywine.

They are on the shelves. $5.99 this year. What a good deal that is.

Way less than any Unibroue labeled beer!

“We often believed that the brethren of Northern Monk were not of these realms. Emmerging (sic) from the depths of Atlantis with the rarest of blue Yuzu & passion fruit was Brian gracing us with their usage in this out of worldly sour.”
“Havis Amanda is a fountain and a statue in Helsinki by the sculptor Ville Vallgren 1855–1940. The work was modelled in 1906 in Paris, and erected at its present location at the Market Square in 1908. Today it is recognized as one of the most important and beloved pieces of art in Helsinki”

And where do the portals from Atlantis emerge in this earthly realm? Correct - Hellsinki, Innsmouth and Grimsby.
