    Either way, find the largest group of assholes there and say hello. I'm the one with the mustache. :slight_smile:

    Easy answer is Lexington/Louisville. I don't know if Red Dot will be getting any.

    I believe they had to split two between them, Springhurst and Middletown only had 8 bottles a piece, and I’d guess Hurstbourne had the same.

    Unfortunately they were out. Can’t blame them though, that’s a tough beer to mass produce

    It was on until 3 pm or so. I had another glass.

    Didn't get it because I didn't see it there yesterday. CV Baba was good like it always is, BBA Dark and Raspy with coffee was my favorite though. Had ample amount of beer there but that one was special.

    It was on Tap Zero (up near the front door). Went on at open yesterday.

    On the bright side tap 0 is milk juice now and that’s super solid. Not a NEIPA like the name suggests but a super smooth hoppy beer

    I think it's because they put some lactose in there. That was a citrus and lemon bomb that had no bitterness.

    Yeah for sure the milk part made sense I think the juice part and the Instagram filter they used had me thinking New England

    They also put Fadtastic bottles out from the new batch today and they're hazy AF.

    Fadtastic was great yesterday! I had a glass after Baba and that beer was straight fire yesterday. Still my favorite NE IPA i have had from the state.

    I think mile wide has my heart in that department but definitely hands down Lexington’s best New England. Hoping mirror twin keeps improving at the rate they have been

    Milk juice was smooth af, definitely the easiest drinking 10% IPA I've had. Coffee baba yaga was fire and exactly what I expected given past iterations. I've had fadtastic probably 8 times over the past few months and what was there this weekend was by far the haziest and most flavorful I've had. Sorry I missed the ailpale but damn, Ethereal is killing it in every category.

    Really enjoyed Etherial. Was my first time there, will definitely go back. The BA Dark and Raspy was good, look forward to cracking my bottle soon.

    Was a little disappointed there was no Snake Cake on draft though, luckily we got there around 10:20.

    Anyone have any news on CBS in Lexington on Friday? Allocation, trappings, etc? Have emailed liquor barn and they don’t have their info yet.

    I bet it’s already in the Trappe’s cellar. We’ll have a chance to buy it next year at 3x the original price.

    Big issue is when Founder's ships it out. The distributor in Lex hits different stores on different days, and you have to remember the 24 hr hold on all products. So plan on 2 days after it ships at the earliest. If Store X already got their shipment this week, then it won't show until late next week.
