    This working in the Suburbs deal is bullshit. Anyone want to pay me a lavish amount to drink beer with them in the city? I am a hoot, I swear. Worth the money.

    No, no takers :/

    I'm so hyped for this beer. Seems everyone else is super hyped for it also. I hope it will last until tomorrow as I imagine the batch size is a lot smaller than normal, as the yield of beer from 6lbs of hops per barrel would = less beer in the end?

    They won't pour it for me. Sad!

    I brought friends along. I'll take the referral bonus in the form of a shot of malort for he ladies.

    Edit: thank yooooooou!

    Guys, this is no good. Don't come and drink it. I'm gonna hide in the back and drink all of it after they close tonight just so you don't need to try it.


    ...it's not good. It's great. Mouthfeel is unreal.

    I feel like the only person in this thread who doesn't work at Forbidden Root.... I hope that isn't your entry into the FR glassworks competition. I rank it behind the teku and the solid pint glass.:wink:

    Yup. The yield was definitely lower but it'd take a combined feat of strength to kill this by tomorrow. *Knocks on wood*

    My glass should be out soon: a scratched shaker pint with noticeable chips along the rim.

    3 per person per day? Who is buying 3 growlers in one day? How do you even carry that home?

    For what it's worth, 3 howlers. Looks like they are only filling the small ones.

    That was me :slight_smile:

    To the guy asking who would do it: the first customer who bought it to go. Thats 1 for 1 :slight_smile:

    To Brian- awesome meeting you. Brian noticed the 32 oz pill bottles i brought were foaming up, so he filled 3 32oz FR growlers for me with no charge for the glass. Absolute class act. So thankful to be able to support this brewery (and restaurant) every chance i get.

    This is an extremely dumb question but if I bring a howler from a coffee shop, is that ok? Maybe ill just buy a new howler from them.

    Just bring it in and they'll let you know. Apparently some will fill and others won't, according to Kraj. New 32oz glass is $4 if you go that route.

    Sorry for being annoying everyone. Killing time before the concert.

    The color and milkshake character of power trip is insane. Brian told me it's a sort of trillium headroom clone.
