    Must get more atomic child. It's so killer. Tony Fitzpatrick's art on the can is also phenomenal.

    Just a quick update.

    Right now and for this entire weekend we have on-

    Toro
    Atomic Child
    Ghost Tropic
    Night Moth

    Where else can you get 4 NE style IPAs on anywhere within 100 miles? let alone awesome ones(i dont brew them so I can brag)

    1/2 Barrel left of the All Inclusive Resort so that may last another or 2 as well! Pisco BW is running low- will be replaced by the Pipeworks/Interboro new collab when that runs out.

    30 KDB Tekus to 22 BJP Hop thingie glass(profits go to charity so this is just to talk trash to @BJP about what glass is better.

    we def love the new glassware so maybe shoot me a message if there is a style ya love and maybe it could be the new one!

    just a heads up... the week of 9/12 is going to be a big one around here...

    thanks to everyone who has been coming all week! great to see ppl 2-3 times in one week!

    Cheers and have a great holiday weekend all!

    Line issues worked out? Buddy of mine was in there last night and couldn't get a growler of Toro. I was hoping to stop in this afternoon, if not tomorrow. Thanks Brian!

    Hit up Forbidden Root again today, had to get another taste of Toro! which is just insane. I get no boozy taste at all from it. Just a crazy hop juice bomb. I'm usually not a fan of such high alcohol beers as I usually don't like the boozy hot taste from them, but this one is absolutely dangerous.

    Was able to make it out tonight, unfortunately missed the chance to meet @KrajDoesBeer before he headed out. Great experience all around as usual though.

    Had Toro!, Atomic Child and Night Moth. Grabbed a growler of Toro! on the way out. As others have stated its straight juice, unreal at 10%.

    As a side note, All Inclusive Resort is delicious. Was all my wife drank and I was constantly taking sips. Straight hawaiian punch with nice sour finish. Would have easily grabbed a growler of this had it been available, please make it again and again. Phenomenal.
