    They don't, but they certainly should have an up to date tap list. Information beyond that isn't strictly necessary, but a lot of people would appreciate it and I think it would be good for their business in the long run.

    Poorly worded on my part. I had meant, for me to start going more often again, they would need to do those things. They definitely don't have to do any of those things if they don't want to, but it's kind of a haul for me to get out there, so I just like to know what I can drink there and bring home before I make the drive.

    Sign up for untappd. Search the location and see what people are drinking. Very effective. Jack's abby is basically printing money over there. Keeping thier website up to the mi uite won't do much to jolt that more. The meadhall is still booming and they can't even update the chalboard inside at a reasonable rate. People focus on minutiae here way to much.

    I really dig it! I also enjoy Von Trapp Vienna lager (as well as their other fine creations). Look out for their stuff.

    They don't have to, but they certainly should. I think it would be good business to keep the site up to date, particularly the to-go offerings. If I'm in the area, I'll visit the website to see if they have something on there I want to grab to go. When I see it hasn't been updated in more than a month, I usually won't stop -- or if I do, and they're out of whatever the site claimed they had, I'm less likely to go back.

    I'm fairly sure they've only done about four updates to the page -- or at least changed the updated date stamp -- since mid-October of last year. Even weekly updates would be a welcomed change.

    Finally made it to the new Idle Hands spot and they had this on tap - thanks for the tip that got me off my butt! Great beer and a great space. It seemed to be closer to Saxony than it was to Night Shift's version. And just so damn drinkable.

    Springdale Good N' You is really really good. Very hazy and juicy. They have a fun tap room too!

    Springdale deserves its own thread. Hope they keep canning their IPAs.

    Also, Kriek Mythology is really good. Reminds me a lot of Russian River Supplication.

    The Excess and Kiwi Rising videos are a little light on content. The rest are fine, however if you guys have the time to devote to these kind of videos the more information the better in my opinion.
    Anyway, keep up the good work and I'll keep drinking your fantastic beers!

    @springdalebeer Can you share what yeast you're using for Good n' You? The haze is out of this world and I'm a homebrewer that would like to try and clone this beer. Thanks!

    No apologies necessary. I didn't ask anyone - aside from those beers, the stock in the cooler and on the floor was pretty well picked over. Glad to have three excellent breweries all within the same vicinity. Provided a good excuse to try out the new Hair Raiser and I'm sure it'll work the other way sometime in the future.

    Looking forward to you all being open for business mid-day during the week so I can check out the new space and try more of your beers - particular the altbier. I've had a few so far. All were excellent, Sir Edmund was exceptional.

    I believe all the canned IPAs are brewery only. Amirite?! is good but not on the level of Good N You.

    16 oz. cans, but you can also buy singles if you want -- which is much appreciated. Wish all breweries would do this, as it'd get me to try more of their offerings.

    We've actually used a few different yeasts on our IPAs to this point. We've found that how we use hops, and some of the cellaring decisions on our part have larger impacts on the look of these beers. Sorry to be vague, brewers have their tricks.... good luck!

    Any idea when the BA Framinghammers are coming? I feel like they are around March? I checked the website and didn't see any info.

    I think it was April last year.

    Definitely was April last year. They released a variant or two each week (some in bottles, some draft only).
