    Hey I'm visiting some buddies from college and we want to check out Torst. Does anyone know what the bottle list is at the moment?

    Thanks!

    I was there on Friday... No Cantillon and only Golden Blend from 3F. The only bottle we bought was Justin Blåbær, a must!

    The bottle list rotates daily and often is full of under the radar kinda stuff. That being said, honestly, the taps are so damn good its hard to even order a bottle.

    But do order a Justin Blabaer. The label is worth the expense alone.

    Justin Blåbær is a Berliner Weissbier from Evil Twin. It's definitely more sour than a typical Berliner and has a great blueberry taste to it. Enjoy!

    The bottle list is always solid even without the multi colored whalez on it but it is the outstanding and really hard to come by draft list that makes us go back over and over again. Enjoy the experience!

    Yeah, that's crazy... frankly, I'd sooner expect to see the barrel-aged even more jesus at that price than I would DORIS, considering you can find DORIS retail for 15-17 in the NYC area (for a bomber).

    Justin Blabaer was on the bottle list, but they wouldn't sell it to me, I was pretty frustrated. The bottle list was also sad, but the people working were nice and the tap list was very solid. Coming from PDX, I was a little underwhelmed, but the potential of the place is enormous, it just looks like I dropped in at a bad time.

    I wanted to drop some bills to drink some whales, but they wouldn't let me.....>_<

    I might have scrolled through something in another thread that they stopped selling bottles (whales) for the time being because Shelton might have complained. I know nothing about this, but just relaying from memory what i read in the other thread. Maybe someone in the know can elaborate what the issue is.

    That sucks. It seems like you either have to get luck or have to been there in the first 2 weeks to the real good bottles.

    I will still make it there one day but I'm not in a hurry at this point.

    Yeah it sucks, but the guy serving us was awesome. Hoping he sends me a BM so we can get a trade going. NYC needs to experience more Block 15

    I stopped in last week. was super excited to be there and see what they had. I left after drinking half a stale nugget nectar. Super disappointed. I went way out of my way to stop in, and really was let down. :slight_frown:
    no justin blaeber when I was there. nothing really caught my eye. A couple really high abv things, but I was driving to bridgewater, so couldnt really get any.

    That doesn't make sense, unless they sold out of them that day.

    They said they were holding the bottles for a couple more days. Sounds a little iffy to me, but whatever.
