    I have been to the tap room before, and it seemed that the draft pours were only available?
    Was I mistaken on the availability of the Bottle Pours not being available?
    Thanks!

    current list:

    On draft now:

    • Final Approach- Roasty farmhouse ale inspired by the cold days of late autumn.
    • Table Beer- Everyday farmhouse ale, lawnmower beer with a Belgian pedigree.
    • Saison Renaud- Flagship farmhouse ale featuring our longest continuously cultured strain of yeast.
    • The Orange Dinosaur- Juicy double IPA commemorating Route 1's silent guardian.
    Bottle pours:

    • Entropy - Still ale finished with sherry flor
    • De Cacao- Still ale aged on cacao nibs and finished with sherry flor
    • De Varenne- Blended wild ale
    • Vinland 4 - Wild ale ferment with yeast cultivated from barley
    • Wild Field Beer- Field Saison with a hint of wildness.

    I have yet to go when they don't have a good selection of beers on, bottle pours will vary.

    I could drink a gallon of table beer. That stuff is fantastic...

    Thanks!

    Don't worry, we do have bottle pours! While I make no guarantees when it comes to my reading comprehension before 11AM, this is what I'm seeing behind the bar this morning:

    Draft:
    Orange Dinosaur
    Saison Renaud
    Final Approach
    Chelsea Common
    Table Beer

    Bottle pours:
    De Varenne
    Wild Field Beer
    De Cacao
    Entropy

    How does one order to have the bottle pours considering there are usually four samples given? - Is the bottle/Draft kept separate due to pricing?

    It usually depends on what the bottle pour is. As of now only Wild Field Beer can be included in a flight, since Entropy, De Varenne and De Cacao are very small pours to begin with.

    Also, just got a last minute update, we're adding a brand new BIPA/Cascadian Dark Ale called Winter on the River Styx to the draft list today!

    Thanks for replying.

    One last question, so may someone then pay extra to try very small pours of Entropy, De Varenne and De Cacao.

    Yep, those are available for purchase. If you're asking if we offer even smaller pours for a flight, then no, it would be a hilariously tiny pour and wouldn't really make sense.

    I have had one-thousand beers times a few times over. In my Ratebeer years, it wouldn't be unusual to sample 100 beers in a single weekend - ha
    Anyways, I now keep a track of my hads just as a journal type of thing.

    - Hope to get a couple more Mystic beers added and tracked on this diary.

    and Cantillon Loerik is my only written review and one of my top 10 all-time favorites.

    I am just waiting for a Rhode Island brewery to make a "Big Blue Bug" beer. Same sort of thing here.
