    They were running geek nip through a randal at the noah webster real ale fest, turned it pretty much flat. Cask was an underwhelming brett pale ale. Why not was the only good beer they brought. At least they didn't bring fizzics? Probably one of the most underwhelming tables at the fest.

    Hanging hills (their ESB and House mild are really good) and cold creek (maple winnie releasing this week) are really solid. Haven't tried Fat Orange Cat but have heard mixed reviews.

    I tried some of FOC at the Eli Cannons Beer Fest. Wasn't impressed. Will try again though.

    I'm a growler club member and I'm thinking the same thing.

    I feel bad for anybody that paid for one of those clubs.

    ESB? After drinking tree house old man I need to try more of the "style". Thanks for the tip. Going to be trying that out.

    My girlfriend bought me a fizzics for Christmas last year. I felt so bad since she clearly tried. The thing was plain awful. You have got to lose respect for anyone marketing that pos.

    Haha, yeah, I'm out $275.

    I envisioned filling up every weekend, taking advantage of the free 4th growler. Maybe can allotments on a monthly basis, an occasional barrel release?

    But even before the departure, it was still painfully slow for fills and the first canning was a debacle. I started to revert back to the longer trip to Nebco but get in and out under 5 minutes.

    Ya it's not a good feeling. Was just chatting with my wife earlier and we may just consider it a loss. I'm not sure it's a place I want to do business with any more.

    All I'm gonna say is trying recreate his beers with a hooker/sea dog brewer and that dumbass fizzics system you're going outta business within a year. Karma is a bitch...CHEERS

    PS Anyone want to have a Seadog blueberry with me

    Feel your hit. Did some number crunching and looking back, glad I passed. There are a lot of disgruntled $$$ out there. Luckily I avoided the casualty.

    Funny you should say that. When I went last week, they had an option to run beers through fruit (I think it was pineapple and watermelon). I can't believe I forgot to report that piece!

    I'm guessing they got a perk from the Fizzics thing and that it was a one time thing.

    If he left the recipes, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to.
