The Veil Brewing - Richmond

Keep an eye out on their Facebook page, they tend to announce cans throughout the day.

 

They posted this morning about just 2 cans tomorrow. Crucial which we knew about yesterday and then a brand new IPA, Toof Ache. Details on their social media pages now for you to read more.

 

Release set for tomorrow....2 cans this week.
_______________________________________________

This Tuesday August 2nd will be the return of our beloved flagship Double IPA Crucial Taunt! It's been a few weeks since we've released this dank, citrus forward DIPA. This batch is tasting so dang good. We're shoot for approx 185-205 cases. $14+tax/4-pack. NO LIMIT.

Toof Ache is a 6.3% IPA. We are super stoked on this one. Probably one of, if not THE best IPA(standard IPA, not DIPA) we've ever produced. Hopped intensely with Simcoe, Mosaic, and Columbus. We also added a bunch of organic orange juice to the kettle. The intent wasn't to be an orange juice bomb, but it is incredibly juicy! Apricots, tangerines, grapefruit pith, soft, incredibly juicy and DANK! Mad dank! We're seriously amped on this one and hope you guys are too. Shooting for 210-225 cases. $13.50+tax/4-pack. NO LIMIT.

There will only be two beers/cans released this week(Toof Ache and Crucial Taunt). We hope to see you tomorrow when we open at 4pm

 

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

 

Never Enough cans are so much worse than on tap at Veil last week and at Mekong on tap. I gave out 6 total to friends in NOVA, all drain pours, the nose is cherry baby vomit bile, the taste is getting to that point too. On tap it was my second favorite veil beer, out of the can, one of the worst beers I've had in 2016, crazy the difference from tap to can. All cans kept iced down too.

Idontwannaeverbu is the best veil I've had so far. A lot of the IPAs have that same bitter onion taste, idontwannaeverbu does not.

 

Heading to Veil as a first timer tomorrow. Curious if they do flights on draft or just full/half pours

 

No flights, 6 or 12 oz pours.

 

This was the one thing I really didn't like when I visited, also pricing seemed off, getting a 12oz was only like a dollar or two more than 6oz. They had 9 beers on tap the day I went, trying all of them just wasn't feasible with the pour sizes offered.

 

I thought I was done drinking DIPAs 8% and up, but I picked up a 4-pk of IdonteverwantBU and damn, I wish I had grabbed another. That id definitely the best DIPA they have done imo.

On another note, they said they added orange juice to the kettle for Toof Ache, does that mean the juice is fermentable at that point?

 

May want to postpone that a little longer. If all stays to schedule they should be releasing their TRIPA collab with Other Half on the 16th (if their plan is to can it)

 

Stole the words out of my mouth. Seems like the best way to tackle Veil would be sharing full pours with a friend. Otherwise its too expensive to sample a bunch of stuff.

Yup...still a fermentable whether its added in the kettle or during fermentation.

 

I have a very hard time seeing myself enjoying a triple IPA, especially an OH collab (I don't really like AGE). I think the 0 IBU DIPA they are brewing might be good. Either way, I would almost always prefer to drink something in the 5-6% range.

 

It will be interesting to try. They did make a comment their target for the triple is going to be 50ibu. Never had one that low before.

 

Cherry baby vomit bile. Lol. Sounds brutal!

 

Did you happen to see the post by Veil about the issues they discovered with Never Enough? It was a pretty lengthy post and they have taken steps to make it right with customers who purchased cans. if not, scroll above and check out post #537

 

Appears the first person showed up in line around 12:30 today.

 

Totally unnecessary. Pretty sure he's the same dude that showed up to the Hardywood AB GBS/KYCM at like 11pm the night before. If you have nothing better to do...

 

Considering Mekong is only a couple miles away and Strangeway is also very close (and open) that excuse would not hold much weight for me unless you just like hanging out in an almost empty parking lot lacking the ability to share some bottles while you wait. Or he figures spending money elsewhere takes away from his Veil haul.

 

Maybe he was noting how much worse it's gotten? I read a lot of people saying it smelled bad but tasted fine and that Veil post said "drink from the can." It was a mouthful of bleu cheese for me when I finally tried it on Saturday. I tried from the can, tried pouring it and letting it sit and warm for a good while. Wound up drain pouring. Glad I split a 4 pack with a friend and didn't go crazy on it because it really sounded so good. I completely got them refunding and not demanding the cans back when i tried it, if people truly enjoyed that beer and felt like they got something good for free - more power to them but they can't be many.

 

Details just posted on today's release with final counts of CT and target for Toof Ache. If it gets busy with the after work crowd I could easily see Crucial selling out (or coming very close) and then Toof Ache lasting at least a couple days (maybe Thursday)
