    Speaking of facebook, glad to see you guys got trolled by DeKalb's finest! That's how you know you made it big time!

    It's my understanding that everyone in DeKalb was automatically made a FwB, complete with home delivery of a case of each batch. It's the only way Pipeworks can compete out in Whale City!

    Someone made the following statement (question?): "How much did you have to sell out to Inbev to share a truck with goose"

    This person was a huge fan of Goose Island until he didn't get enough Cherry Rye. Be careful or he'll take you guys on next!

    goose actually didn't know we shared a truck with them... and we showed up to pick our barrels and got kicked out.. still got our barrels. but it was kinda lame. maybe because we didn't have safety equipment on. whatev

    Any chance there's more Ninja vs Unicorn coming soon? Having trouble tracking some down.

    just a quick heads up, new batch of Unicorn Galaxy (with amarillo and centennial in the dry hops now too) is hitting some stores today:

    Rogers Park Fine Wine
    Capones
    Before You Go
    The Beer Temple
    Andersonville Wine
    Binny's Lakeview

    It's at Binny's LP for FwB, but Vav is out with a tummy ache or some shit... so not sure it's be there for FwB if they ask... maybe it will. I'll call them.

    Agreed, congrats!

    I may have my timelines mixed up but I thought you guys started brewing in Feb. 2012, therefore making you a "new brewery" in 2012 right? If so then I was extremely disappointed that you weren't featured in the latest issue of BA magazine's "Class of 2012 Breweries" and I think the Bro's dropped the ball on that one. :slight_smile:

    Smoked Porter and EoD were their first 2 beers bottled, and EoD was bottled Feb 25th, 2012 per their facebook. So the Bros. definitely dropped the ball on the class of 2012.
