    Did I miss the date these are being released. I love War Elephant.

    You did not. I really hope Rushing Duck keeps flying under the radar. Only a matter of time before they blow up. Probably my favorite local brewery and so easy to pick up limited releases.

    Per previous postings in this thread, in the next week or two.

    You'd think RD was a NJ brewery based on the last bunch of posters. Really want to get some of that War Elephant in cans.

    Those cans remind me of Pipeworks. I've been meaning to take a drive for a can release and I think this is the one.

    It's only 30 minutes from me. Much closer than Carton or Kane

    I only meant that the last several post were from NJ people. I know it's not crazy far away. You must live literally on the border to be that close to Chester, or you drive really fast.

    Had war elephant one time at one mile house, not sure if it was old or something but it tasted malty to me .

    I think this could be the one to spoil that under the radar/our little secret thing. OTOH they just doubled capacity so...

    Should all of us who are going to this one get together for a BA section inside?

    So...I finally made it over on Sunday. Was really impressed with their offerings and the staff were all super friendly. Had a DBZ can last week from a friend that works at my local shop and loved it. Went thinking War Elephant would be my jam and left loving the Mosaic DBZ as they had two differently hopped versions (one Mosaic forward and one Citra) and both were great. Don't get me wrong, the War Elephant was decent but I felt as someone said above, that it was a little malty and boozy. Left with some growler fills and glassware. BA Ded Moroz will be a must for me next time they release that.

    All that being said, I'll still grab some War Elephant cans when they release just to check in on my palate.

    I have never found the War Elephant to be malty.

    Yea, I dunno, it caught me off guard as well. Maybe too much Crystal malt? Won't dissuade me from going back and trying it again. Loved the place!

    Any idea when they'll have cans? I'm passing through there next weekend, and will probably stop in to get a growler regardless...

    Pretty sure this Thursday they'll have War Elephant (and allegedly a small amount of /0).
