    Any chance these beers make their way to the brewpub like the other Deep Wood beers?

    I'd think so eventually.

    Had a great time last night. Didn't get there until after 7, but had a few beers and walked away with my limit without issue. Only thing I was unhappy about is I didn't get to buy a bomber of 3rd year to age. They had just run out. Once closing time hit headed over to kuma's corner and ate until I hated myself and drank a kidnapped by Vikings on tap.

    Overall a good night

    Stopped in last night around 9. The Bean Gene was fantastic.

    Haha, i was only there for a half hour but I saw you walk in (about 2:15) and go get a beer, I then started to walk over to talk to you but couldn't find you. No joke I wandered like a clown for a few minutes and was under the suspicion that you were kidnapped. Glad to hear your alive.

    Did you take note of how many cases of each were left? When I was there around 5 it looked like the Bean Gene might not last the day (maybe 20-25 cases) and there was at least twice the amount of Mean Gene.

    They were selling behind the bar at that point in the night. So there is really no telling how much was left, they were pulling out of maybe a stack of 6 or so cases, but I figured they'd have a palate or so of cases in e back of the brewery like they did with very mad cow. I know the production for this wasn't as high, but going through all or most of the bottles in one night would be insane.

    Nice, we we hiding out by the entrance/the end of the bar. I was worried you were slacking. Good to know you weren't though.

    Had 1 of my 4 bottles last night. Pretty equal to the tap variety.

    So very glad I tried bean on tap because my bottle was terrible, explained in my review. Hope this didn't happen to anyone else and was fluke. Fantastic beer otherwise.

    I thought the pour I had on tap Saturday was watery and thin also. Very tasty, but different than previous batches. However I had bought my full allotment of Bean and Mean already, so hoping the bottles are good or better.
