    I can't wait! Looks great!

    As for duchessdubourg's comment on beards, I'm growing mine out in time for Beardvember!

    I've been trying to cut back, but this one intrigued me.

    Smell, appearance, carbonation and texture seem more Lawson to me than Otter creek. Pretty juicy and slick.
    Citrusy with a bitter taste that sits on the back of the roof of your mouth and tongue long after swallowing. It's a solid effort, I think most people will be pleased. One of the better collabs out there. If you like lingering bitterness in your mouth, get it.

    Just cracked open my first bottle. Wow this beer is awesome! Great collab, definitely seems more like a Lawsons beer. Very juicy, wish I had more than just a 4 pack

    The whole batch was packaged on Friday and the first Vermont shipment went out yesterday. Availability out of state is very limited and we will be posting more information as shipments happen via Facebook to keep everyone in the know. We have sold more than half of our breweries allocation out of our Visitor Center and we will continue to sell 2 four packs per person until it is all gone, which I'd assume won't be too long. Also, we are tapping two kegs in our Visitor center every Monday at noon and dosing folks until the kegs kick. We will then tap a couple more the following Monday until its all gone.

    Hope you all enjoy this one as much as Sean and I enjoyed brewing it! Get dosed!!

    Thanks for the videos and collab Mike. I love seeing the VT love between local breweries. I'm hoping a shipment arrives in Burlington metro this week, so I can stop by and grab a box. I'd like to see OCB do a collab with different brewer (of this scale) at least once a year.

    Agreed I'm really digging this one. Like a Lawson's IPA with a bit more bitterness at the end, very glad I decided to grab two 4 packs. I also like the idea of combining the water, yeast, etc and the artwork is sweet, very cool beer all around.

    I'm heading up this weekend. Does anyone know where it's likely to be in the Waterbury/Stowe/Morrisville area? Thanks!

    Great, thanks! I'm just not sure if it makes sense to wait and take RT. 7 home and pick some up at the source, especially since they seem to be selling through it so fast.
