We’ve added this edition where we did our first video tasting. During the World Cup 2018, England played a couple of games against Belgium. Barrel of Monks Brewing in Boca Raton brew predominantly Belgium-style brews, so we had a small bet with them on the victor.

Alas, England did not prevail, so The Brit had to send some brews down to the crew at BoM, and tried to select some personal favorites that also showcased Illinois craft beer. The BoM folks recorded a video of their impressions and comments, which can be viewed here by clicking this link.

Then BoM, after some knee-dropping begging, sent us a selection of their brews, which we decided to take up to Church Street (as they really liked Devil’s Playground), and attempt to reciprocate our tasting notes. Luckily their beers are freaking delish, so we didn’t need to put on a brave face while we sipped – they are all fabbo! We recommend visiting them next time you head down to Florida.  Here’s the video, which includes The Brit, brewers TJ and Chuck, and beer consultant Mark Naski.  Cheers!
