    i had a bottle of the latest batch and I didn't think it was flat, it was about as carbonated as bcbs.

    I have a small obsession with Pipeworks. Thank you so much for the brews. Now for a question. I was at DLD and friends graciously stood in one of the horrendous guest tap lines to bring back some goodies for our group. There was supposedly a Pipeworks called NNB Love. It was tart and I believe brewed with blackberries. I quite liked it. I could have the name wrong or even the brewery. I only know what I was told and I have found no additional information about it. Could someone confirm or deny? Perhaps it was something brewed just for the fest or a one off...or something upcoming. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

    I am almost certain that was actually New Belgium's Love

    Thank you! That had to be it, especially after reading the description and it being acidic. All of us agreed on that. My friends must have had their beer goggles on already and mistaken the brewery. Mystery solved.

    Do you know how long they usually get it to stores? I will be in northern IL on Saturday and I'm hoping that's not too soon!

    We had the same problem! I'm almost positive on the board it said "PIPEWORKS" with NBB Love beneath it. We couldn't find it on Untappd or on google. Thanks for clearing this up everyone!

    yea i'll throw out the deny there... no idea what you are referring to =p Love is a New Belgium beer that is the base of most of their sours...?

    we will have sours and they WILL be awesome... but in our small 1800 sq ft space we aren't going to try and do both... once we move into the new facility we can properly separate sours from regular beers without worrying about cross contamination.

    the new batch 200...? something... we carbed up much higher than the previous batch. None should be flat but everyone has a different interpretation of what 'flat' is... we ARE aware that on our hand capped bottles not every cap is going to be consistent and some of those might actually be flat because of cap/bottle failure. The meheen should eliminate this variable from packaging and thusly we will probably now put barrel aged beers in 22oz bottles to ensure quality.

    I believe it was #209, bought last week and consumed the day after it was delivered to Ardmore station. I didn't feel like there was a carbonation issue with it at all. I'm sure the carb has varied batch to batch before the meheen batches but I've had like a metric ton of your beer and never had one that was flat.

    How about a hopped up wheat beer. Not a wheat wine.

    Something like Half Acre's Akari Shogun

    That sounds downright Quintessential!

    Which I enjoyed quite a bit, and wish had been brewed more than the once.

    It looks like it's hit a couple places already this morning--Beer Temple and Capones -- check out this twitter list I created as I'm sure stores will be tweeting when they get it -> https://twitter.com/maxcoinage/lists/chibrew
