    Does anyone know when the next Fortuna Roja release is? I think the last one was in September and wasn't sure if they were doing annually in September...Would love to grab at least one bottle as well as the Rastard. I always work on Saturdays so it makes it tough to grab a bottle in person...

    No idea on the Fortuna. They only did the release for that beer once, since the second release they canceled that beer on account of it tasting too much like prickly pears. Other then Bat Rastard and La Muerta I don't think Freetail has any other annual releases.

    That probably explains why I can't find it on their website...thanks for the info

    The other reason you can't find it on their website is because they are transitioning away from their current horrible website to a new one.

    Scott keeps saying that one is coming. Honestly they are losing money for not having one.

    I always try to throw brewery swag into every trade box, and they rarely have what I need/want in stock at the brewpub. Also I'd love to see some new glassware options!

    If my schedule pans out the way it did this week, then I should be able to make it. I'll just have to be careful at the bottle share since I have to work in the afternoon. I'll see if I can dig up some good beers to share.

    As for future releases, they've announced that Velocihoptor (single-hopped with Falconer's Flight) will be bottled. Scott has also announced via Twitter that more Ananke is coming soon.

    I think he said early April for Ananke...plenty of time to find some mules

    Bomber
    Heavy Seas The Great Pumpkin
    Southern Tier Pumpking x 2

    Small format bottles

    I'm not looking for anything crazy just something to help me downsize.(smaller format bottles for a bomber) I wouldn't mind trading for stuff like Argus Cider, Das Wunderkind, or The Abyss. Mainly interested in stouts or barleywines. BM me if interested.

    Just a few days away. Does anyone know what they are bringing to the share? I'm planning on bringing a few selections from The Bruery.

    So anyone in Houston that is already going want to pick me up 2 bottles? I will pay cash plus a tip of one fresh Hopslam for your efforts. We can swap at the next bottle share at Gingerman on March 10th.

    No takers? How about a trade for some Old Rasputin XIV for anyone that missed that one. I am flexible about where to meet or if you can ship. They also just announced on twitter that there would be other Freetail bottles available so hook a brother up!
