    All you gotta do is convince Shaun Hill to do a collab and get the brewery approved for the state haha

    Happy birthday, Velvet Merkin! One day closer to you being in my belly. Ironically.

    As a fellow Marylander I would agree with you. We are not in any of the big beer mecca states like some others here but occasionally we get something nice(or head up to Philly/down to DC when they do instead).

    bad news: spoke to some firestone guys yesterday and they said this beer would be out in two months rather than mid-sept

    I heard they cancelled the release completely, and are never making a barrel aged beer again, so don't seek them out anymore.

    The two month estimate is probably for distro, they will have it available at the brewery and Barrellworks.

    Or maybe the person was completely lying about having heard that for self-serving purposes.

    right, because my post has such a high chance of creating additional supply at the two to three bottle shops i visit :slight_smile:

    If they pushed this out tickets for the release wouldn't still be for sale.
