    interesting, damn that's one of the few beers they've put out that I missed trying... but there are so many others that warrant bringing back as well:

    Crooked Spoke Adjacent
    Vigilante Tantrum
    Shifty Dibs (fka Trop Hop)
    Hazy Shade of Citra (collab with the home brew group I think?)
    even the OG Shmmy Ye', which hasn't been made in like 6 months...

    As it continues to get colder outside we got some bigger beers and some darker beers dropping to help warm you up starting this weekend. Thursday night kicks us off with plenty of growlers and a fresh batch of the slammable Light American Ale "Chuck's Garage". On Friday we have two different versions of our Imperial Stout "Deserted Village" hitting the taps. The first is 10.4% ABV and incorporates J. Emanuel chocolate, Bourbon Barrel Aged Colombian Coffee, & American Oak Spirals. The second is 9.2% ABV and was barrel aged for 3 months in a freshly emptied 9 year aged Four Roses barrel and then was conditioned a heaping amount of Madagascar Vanilla beans and Peruvian Criollo Cacao Nibs. Both beers are rich decadent and delicious so don't miss out. Finally we have a new 5.8% ABVPale Ale dropping Saturday called "Da Brick Da Brick" that was DDH with Idaho 7, Mosiac, Belma & Citra.

    This weekend we are still rocking Round 2 or our bi-monthly taproom musical playlists on Spotify. This one has an early emo vibe to it and can be found here http://bit.ly/TEB-10-12-17.

    Our good friends the Empanada Guy will be here this Friday and should be a consistent staple on Fridays for the next couple months.

    @dennis3951 You have me worried, as not only was this posted above, but you also posted the line-up repeatedly (Ctrl-v) a few weeks ago

    …Hang in there man

    FWIW they registered labels for Crooked Spoke Adjacent and Vigilante Tantrum, so hopefully we see those again, possible in cans.

    Nice detective work! since Wepeel and rugged snuggle are both in the on deck list, wonder if that means cans coming in the next week or two...

    I can't take credit, that's all @MattyBlayze, he posted them to Reddit.

    That's odd. I didn't get a notice that there was a new post on this forum and it was 6 O'clock in the morning. lol

    Barrel-aged Deserted Village is pretty good. Not great but I enjoyed it.

    Scantron has a really nice nose but is one dimensional in taste. It's okay but no Lil' Shimmy Ye.

    not a big BBA stout guy so don't have a great frame of reference, but I thought it was very good - to coffee variant was also really good, perhaps better.

    thought four minute mile was drinking really well.

    I liked Four Minute Mile but I wish the oats were more prevalent in the taste.

    Curious (and interested) to see what they mean by a 'modern English Bitter' that's coming up in the secondary.

    I love me a traditional Bitter - hoping it's not like dry-hopped or anything.

    have you tried out the new "traditional best bitter" than Man Skirt Brewing in hackettstown did a week or so ago? They definitely make some quality traditional style beers, if you haven't checked them out.

    to keep it relevant: Joe the owner/brewer of Man Skirt is a huge Twin Elephant fan.

    I should clarify, I meant "canned" a few weeks ago. He has been brewing it for quite some time. Definitely a good place to check out if you're into traditional styles. Czig is two blocks away and they're pretty good too.
