    Anyone know if this will be available at Foothills, or is it just going to be at Wicked Weed for Asheville beer week?

    It would only make sense that they both get to tap it.

    Not necessarily. I could be wrong, but I believe Olde Rabbit's Foot is only available at Foothills even though it is a Duck-Rabbit, Olde Hickory, and Foothills collaboration. However, I hope you're right because I'm much closer to Wicked Weed than Foothills.

    Foothills is not getting any. Asked when I was there a few days ago.

    Sorry, it was a sophomoric joke about the beer's name. I'm really not sure. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Lol, ok... I get it now. Sophomoric, yes, but still hilarious.

    I had the Batch 69 last Saturday @ Wicked Weed and I found it to be very IPA forward, as if it was a 75% IPA to 25% Sexual Chocolate blend. I may run over to WS today and give er another shot. Surely 3 kegs were not kicked in 1 day ????

    I doubt 3 kegs could be killed that fast unless it's PTE or KBS or something similar. I have to work all damn weekend or I'd check it out as well.

    Got to try it on Friday, and I agree it is very IPA forward. To me it was kinda like a black IPA. Really did not pick up much from the Sex Choc at all. That being said, it was tasty and I did enjoy it.

    Come to find out, there was no Sexual Chocolate in this. Foothills used a Brown Ale that was hoppy i.e. why the brew was so hop forward.
