The Veil Brewing - Richmond

Kevin from Sales (Sour IPA) another can confirmed for Tues

 

My guess for the third would be CatBoy. Based on turnaround, and what not. These three won't have the same hype as last week, so maybe we won't see people lining up at 11am this Tuesday. It's one of the few Tuesdays I have off this summer, so I'll be joining the line somewhat early, but don't plan on starting it.

 

June 21st cans confirmed (so far.....)

Master Shredder 5.5% Next Tuesday June 21st will be the return of our beloved flagship IPA Master Shredder!
This is the first time we will be releasing a double batch of Master Shredder in 16oz 4-pack cans. More volume=more cans=decent limits. This batch is tasting so dang good!

Kevin From Sales 5.8% Kevin was brewed intentionally to be the most acidic of the sour IPAs we've released so far. Kevin was also brewed with 100% Mosaic hops. This is probably our favorite of the 3 sour IPAs we've released so far. Lemon acidity, dank/citrusy aroma, peach, passion fruit, grapefruit. Cray cray! We think this turned out pretty rad and we hope you do too. More details regarding next Tuesday's can release to be revealed over the next few days. We hope to see y'all out there!

Cat Boy 8.4% Cat Boy was brewed in honor of our friend and brewer Justin's first day at The Veil. Brewed with all English malt, a ton of oats, and 100% Simcoe hops. Very expressive aroma. Apricot, citrus, subtle pine, and a touch of cat pee(in a good way). Extremely smooth on the palate with almost no bitterness or heat. We think this one came out so rad.

More details regarding next Tuesday's can release to be revealed over the next few days. We hope to see y'all out there!

 

I love Shredder but I'm not too excited by the other 2.

 

Made the trip down there today. Really, really impressed. Some of the best IPAs I've ever had. Master Master Shredder Shredder and Crucial Aunt were phenomenal.

 

I'm curious to hear how today goes after the relative madness of last week. Their FB page has basically zero comments so seems like the hype is lower but never can tell.

 

From a post on a group page it seems a line may have started. No photo proof so it very well could be a joke. I think the fact they are releasing 2 new cans will still be a busy release (as usual) but I think it will be hard to top last week.

 

The sour IPA series has been their lowest rated, and a lot of people (including myself) will have an aversion to an all-simcoe IPA named "cat boy". I would expect this to be a much smaller release.

 

~INFO FOR TODAY, TUESDAY JUNE 21ST CAN RELEASE~

A few hours ago we canned three fresh batches(still canning one!). Two brand new releases from us and the return of our beloved flagship IPA. Beginning today at 4PM we will be selling the following in 16oz can 4-packs:

-Master Shredder-5.5%-our beloved flagship IPA. This is our first double batch of Master Shredder. It also might be our favorite batch of Master Shredder ever! Extremely bright citrus, dank.

Popping Mealies will be slinging food. We have a bunch of glassware and possibly some new shirts. Come hang!

 

I could see going to load up on MS and grabbing 1 4 pack of each of the others to try if I lived closer. Getting 9 4 packs would be a solid score for and would make coming from out of town well worth it but I wouldn't be surprised if locals didn't grab their full limits. I'll probably eat my words when they post "out of cans for the week" at 7PM as per usual though.

 

Probably close to 75 people in line

 

Compared to 250+ by this time last week, I'd say that's definitely a bit of a fall off.

 

Just got in line after driving from FL, not sure how much of each I'm gonna buy

 

Sounds like, unless there's a huge flood of people coming in the next 20 minutes, you should have plenty of time to try them and decide if you feel buying 4 packs. I'd no doubt grab all 5 MS though!

 

if you drove all the way from FL then I would probably max that take out. Especially on the MS. Probably my favorite next to the b1 of Dirt Nap. The others just grab a pour of each to see what you think and go from there.

 

Really digging Cat Boy, maxed out on it and Shredder. Went back after dinner to sample some beers, Kevin cans sold out while I was there. Really nice spot, I'll definitely be back, heading to the Answer now.

 

Both Cat Boy and Kevin sold out last night. 90 cases of Shredder left going into today's opening at 4pm per Veil's post last night

 

Man, if I could I'd drive up for a case of MS. I'm in RVA again next Wednesday so maybe some similar magic will occur.

 

1 case limit on the remaining cans btw.

 

This batch of MS is probably the best they have done. So much melon flavor. My guess is they will have some proper glassware available later this week, which is why they mentioned to hold onto some cans since it won't be back for a few weeks.
