The Veil Brewing - Richmond

Yea, I agree its best for all parties if they continue to amend limits prior to commencing Tuesday sales.

I also wonder if The Answer Tuesday crowler releases are exacerbating the length of lines in both locations; they're somewhat symbiotic in that regard. I stopped by The Answer around 530 on Tuesday (my first time visiting since they started crowlering their fruited sours) and it was a madhouse--45 min for fills.

 

I did not include that part since it was pretty open ended. The BTV group is having enough fun speculating that. Keeping it pretty straight forward as they go I can assume that means some beer will be tapped that is not currently on or there will be a Crowler release of some sort.

 

shops around town have the mead

 

Right. 500 bottles the meadery held for on site purchase sold. Now for anyone who didn't get it to chase down the small number of cases that are hitting elsewhere.

 

Pretty *yawn* lineup for a 5-can release, imo. I'd like to get some of that Child Support but everything else sounds skippable.

 

5 cans released seems like they're in a place to do multiple can drops in a week rather than just making Tuesdays a regular $(@!show.

Master taunt and chubbles sound great.

 

No broz broz night night? Everything except the hefe sounds great to me.

 

Tomorrow's (5/30) release. brewery closed today. All debuts this week.

Braühaüsenweisse is our take on a traditional Bavarian style Hefeweizen. Clocking in at 5.3%, Braühaüsenweisse is crisp, full of Hefe yeast esters, subtle clove, and effervescent. Über refreshing for these upcoming summer days. This is our type of Hefe!
Shooting for approx 95-115 cases. $13+tax/4-pack. 4x 4-packs per person.

Child Support (w/ Motueka) is our unfiltered 4.5% house hoppy Pilsner. The rad thing about Child Support is that it's single hopped with a rotating hop varietal. This batch we used Motueka hops from New Zealand. We are super stoked on how this one turned out. Subtle floral character and fresh lime zest is bursting in the aromatics of this crushable Pils.
Shooting for approx 95-115 cases.... $13+tax/4-pack. 4x 4-packs per person.

Master Taunt is kind of a recipe mash-up between Master Shredder(our house IPA) and Crucial Taunt(our house DIPA). Master Shredder is a 5.5% IPA hopped with a proprietary hop blend, but mainly with Mosaic. Crucial Taunt is an 8% DIPA hopped with a proprietary hop blend, but mainly with Citra. We really loved how our experiment went making Crucial Shredder(Master Shredder IPA with mainly Citra, instead of mainly Mosai...c). That made us want to try making Crucial Tauntwith mainly Mosaic in the hop blend as opposed to mainly Citra. It turned out sick! If you like Eternal Shredder and/or Crucial Taunt, you will dig Master Taunt(8% DIPA w/mainly Mosaic). We still love Crucial Taunt and will keep the recipe the same, but this is such an awesome spin on the original. Super pumped on this.
Shooting for approx 200-205 cases. $16+tax/4-pack. 1x case/6x 4-packs per person limit.

Broz Broz Night Night is the double dry-hopped version of our 9% Citra DIPA Broz Night Out. This one turned out insane. We love the base beer, but with the DDH treatment, it's just cray cray.
Shooting for approx 185-210 cases. $18.50+tax/4-pack. 3x 4-packs per person.

Chubbles is our collaboration with our mates from the UK, Cloudwater Brew Co. Together we dreamt up a proper 10.9% triple IPA with 100% English malt, a ton of flaked oats, fermented with a specific English yeast, and hopped intensely with Galaxy, Citra, and El Dorado. Huge mouthfeel with a touch of sweetness. Mimics the mouthfeel/sweetness of actual orange juice(without the acidity). Proper mental aroma on this one too. Very pleased to share Chubbles with y'all!
Shooting for approx 190-225 cases. $19+tax/4-pack. 2-3x 4-packs per person.

*LIMITS SUBJECT TO CHANGE*

 

Pin of Sleeping Forever on Peanut Butter a Snickers added for tomorrow. (Draft only of course)

 

I'd get that too, the other two are just the standouts. Their DDH offerings are hit or miss for me though, aside from the Idonts. I usually prefer CT to CCTT and MS to MMSS, depending on the batches. Bummed I can't go today but I always take a little solace in skipping the crazy releases.

 

Sounds like their will be enough alots for it to last through the first day.

Looking forward to Master Taunt, BBNN and Chubbles.

 

If they don't drop limits on Master Taunt my bet is it will be gone by 7PM. If Chubbles is at 3pp not much, if any, will make it until tomorrow. If they don't set a new case record today I'm betting they come close to what they did in sales last week unless they drop limits from what they said ^^.

 

Final counts for today....

I'm trying to remember the last time someone could walk out with 3 cases of beer in one allotment.

 

How's the crowd look today?

 

I didn't look back, but I sort of remember earlier in the year they flirted with some "no limit" weeks briefly, but its been quite a while.

Wonder how many max out on a Hefe, I'm setting the line at 2.5 people.

 

I'll take the over. The trade monster will max out on everything.

 

For those playing at home it was Valentine's Day - 2 case limit on both Raindropz and Frozen Ocean.
