    Who's going? I'll be there Friday lunch/afternoon and I guess back again on Saturday for bottles of 5th Anniversary. Beer list will be posted later today according to the FB post.

    Working 10am-12pm that day. Lame. I can at least go after. Just hoping they don't sell out.

    Five: The Kitchen Cinq
    From a grand opening mired in skepticism to the verge of opening another brewery, it’s been a wild five-year ride at Freetail. From stolen TVs, exploding barrels filled with prickly pears, algae-infused beers, absurd legal responses, noise ordinance disputes, multiple trips through the legislative wringer, World Cup joys & transitions from chalk to electronic beer boards…we’ve almost seen it all. To commemorate, we’re presenting this anniversary brew, the Kitchen Cinq, brewed with five of everything you can imagine—5 brewers, 5 malts, 5 grains, 5 hops, 5 yeasts, 5 spices, 5 sugars—everything BUT the kitchen sink. TO THE FUTURE! – Scott Ingredients: malt; hops; yeast; orange and lemon peels, grapefruit zest, cardamom, coriander; agave nectar, Texas honey, piloncillo, turbinado and coconut sugar; natural, limestone-filtered, Edwards Aquifer H2O; birthday suits

    I might make this. The 5 sounds like a train wreck but I have faith Freetail can pull it off.

    I got to try the pilot version a few weeks ago. It was actually very tasty.

    What would you reckon the style to be?

    To quote one of the guest brewers, "It's a beer!"

    Anyone from Houston heading up wanna pick me up a bottle of Five if it's released to go? I'll be in Florida so won't be able to make this release...
