Agree on Mortal Bloom - good, not great. I haven't had Mosaic Promise, but I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Speaking of APAs...

A couple months ago I was driving my 11 yo daughter somewhere and I decided to stop by a local store with a good beer selection first. I was trying to decide what to buy when she got impatient and said "dad just get the one you always get!" and pointed at the Two Hearted. Made me both proud and nervous.

Tonight's beer is a 9.0% jam from Hop Butcher. The name references the greatest cinematic fight scene in history... - By SmilingChewbacca September 25, 2026 at 09:35:53 PM
- Hop Butcher is great. Occasionally get it on tap at one of the spots out here. Great IPAs.* - By toffee September 25, 2026 at 10:00:47 PM
  - Pretty much only thing i buy for IPAs. Half acre maplewood and old Irving once in awhile to mix it up but only match hop butcher at best* - By harbaughdyssey September 25, 2026 at 10:20:22 PM

- I'm drinking Founder's Mortal Bloom, which I meant to be Founder's Mosaic Promise. It's good but meh, just another of a million hazy IPAs. Mosaic Promise is an excellent classic APA, like a Sierra Nevada.* - By jjwalker September 25, 2026 at 09:41:07 PM
