    There are 2 beers you should have on tap first and foremost. Zombie Dust and Permanent Funeral. You can thank me later....

    FYI - It's usually 2 case per person limit. In the event Zombie sells out before you get there, Space Station is a great 12 oz, hoppy, pale alternative. Much better than Yum Yum, in my opinion.

    You've probably got a pretty good chance of getting some. If you have the time you should try all three of the pale ales on draft. I'm one of the heretics that actually prefers Alpha King to Zombie Dust

    You'll definitely be able to get it on draft. To-go is a crapshoot.

    They currently have dark lord on draft also, so hopefully it'll stay on for a bit.

    Quick question... Has FFF bottled any Floydivision 4 for sale at the kiosk? I had it on tap a few months back and thought it was really good.

    They bottled Floy Division I in March.

    Would LOVE to try Dark Lord. One of the few from 3F I haven't had.

    We plan on trying to get there when they open.

    On tap you will have no problem getting it. As for to-go, cases have typically lasted into early Saturday. They've upped their production recently so it's not as bad as a year ago or more.

    Well in that case may I recommend:

    Mother of Dreadnaught
    Zombie vs Unicorn
    Dark Lord
    Mistrial

    Cheers and happy hunting!

    Really enjoyed the stop at FFF. Crossed off bucket list and I really want to go again soon. I got there 20 min early and was 9th in line for the kiosk. Kind of crazy. Picked up my 2 cases of ZD, 2 bombers of Permanet Funeral, 2 bombers of Deeskol, and 1 of Rue D'Floyd ($30) .
    I never heard of the Rue before so I figured I'd splurge on the account it was my 1st trip there and brought it homeland saving to split with a couple of my buddies at my Fantasy Football Draft in August.

    Went in to the brewpub and had Zombie vs Unicorn on tap. That was great!

    Definitely looking forward to my next trip down there and hopefully it's a trip where I'm not driving.

    Glad you enjoyed the visit!
    You won't regret the permanent funeral or the Rue D'Floyd...

    My brother grabbed a bottle of Chevalier yesterday, and it has red wax. Any idea if this is a 2012 vintage? Or did they just not use green glitter wax for whatever reason on this year's release?

    I believe 2014 blue wax was the inaugural year of this beer.

    I'll try to remember this correctly. They released the red wax ones a few months ago too. I asked what the red wax meant since it was black sparkle wax season. The guy in the kiosk said it was last year's (2015) that had been aged a year and bottle conditioned.

    I personally really enjoyed it too. It stuck around in the kiosk for quite a while so these may be leftovers from the first red wax release

    I can't remember exact tasting notes but I do know that I enjoyed the red wax one over the couple blue wax 14s I had. Like I said though, at this point I couldn't tell you the difference beyond that

    Is it wrong that I have purchased 4 bottles of this beer over the last few years and am yet to try it? More wrong, I tossed them all in as trade extras and don't have one.

    lol, those are some nice extras! I had the 2014. Very tart but with a very nice blueberry taste. Was first sour I liked.

    Apocalypse Cow made its annual return in bombers today.

    Also The 25 Million Dollar Man went on draft yesterday. Check out the photos on Untappd. Obviously you can't tell bitterness from a photo but it's definitely lighter in appearance and opaque/hazy-ish
