Sand City Brewing (2018)

Guessing they didnt sell out?

 

12 cases left when they open Today.

Hoping to try it on draft there this weekend, myself.
Anyone try it yet? Whats the verdict?

 

Amazing they plowed through that many cases in one afternoon also considering they just had a big release this past weekend.

 

when is open today? noon or 3? I need to snag some cans while I still am able.

 

Yea noon everyday. I think they pushed the release to 3:00pm yesterday instead of the usual 12:00pm to maybe get more of the locals who work later a chance to scoop some up. However this is based on no actual evidence and is pure speculation.

Either way I like the way SC has been mixing up their release dates to ensure as many people get a chance to get some beer.

 

Sold out by noon. Just missed it. Still got a growler.

 

Damn this beer is great. Glad they were doing growler fills.

 

Having a Oops Mangoed now. Compared to Power Source, this much more subtle, dry. If I didn't know this was a mango IPA probably wouldn't detect it. Power Source juicy and in your face mango. My preference is Power Source.

 

I agree, Oops is much more subtle but still definitely an IPA. I love Power Source but feel it is more subtlety an IPA, much more pure mango juice.

 

Was moving stuff around in the cellar yesterday and stumbled upon a can of southdown stout (from batch 2) that was off shapen looking like it was gonna burst. I quickly went to get a big ziplock to put it into hoping to avoid an explosion, but as I put the can in the bag it made a huge POP and exploded everywhere. 16oz of stout on the ceiling, walls, floors, EVERYWHERE. Took me about 2.5 hours to clean up (and I'll still likely have to paint the walls and ceiling still)...and the explosion happened at 11:30 p

SOOOOO TIRED.

consider this a heads up...if your can looks like it will pop, it will pop.

 

Ouch, so close to avoiding disaster. Not fair.
Maybe would have been better to just throw a big towel over it then drop it in a bucket.

 

video or it didn't happen

 

Def did that but when it is all over the walls, ceiling, couch, floor, etc...there is only.souch a towel can do.

there's video of the aftermath, just have to figure out where to upload it after photobucket went away

 

No, I meant throw a towel over the can and put it in a bucket before it exploded, instead of the zip lock bag (though that certainly was a reasonable thing to try too). Might have at least reduced the cleanup by keeping the explosion from reaching the ceiling. 20/20 hindsight from a second party.

 

You guys got me worried. I too have one can left of the Southdown. My can is fine but my can is from batch 1. Another example of first batch being the best.
