It's a collaboration with Sawdust City Brewing Co.
Have you ever tried to read poetry with Sam Corbeil? I have, and hot damn. It was life changing: I cried, I laughed, I cringed.
We brewed this together in January 2019. It is the only beer I know that has had two pre release parties (aka poetry readings) before anyone even tried it. It's a forever project because it is epix and so is Sam. Once a year it is brewed. Fresh is blended with old and the barrels are topped up with that year's brew in true Solera style. There will always be barrels with Sam's name on them at Short Finger.

Big sour, I am certain ageing helped to develop. Clear execution no fruit delivered on prophetic promise. Believe me, finished to last drop. Very tart all it is. Been a couple hundred beers since I last significantly rated higher than the Maddening Crowd.

At my lady Pamela's house; purchased at the Craft Heads bottle shop on University Ave. West in nearby downtown Windsor. My first beer from the Kitchener, ON brewery. Definitely one of the finest beers I have ever had.
