    Tap list early Saturday is a little different than the email. Guessing they’re still waiting for some to kick. No All Mouth variants left

    Yeah - I can't believe how big their tap list is getting. Doing a full flight will require an Uber.

    casual mention of a potential "surprise" over the weekend, with fewer than usual new draft additions... hmmm. maybe some of those blank labels being put to use soon

    Glad to hear. Was wanting to try that last Saturday, but wasn't tapped by the time I'd left.

    Raritan looks awesome. Always love when they use the Boxwood's coffee. Funny enough, I don't enjoy coffee much on it's own, but put it in a beer and I'm sold.

    Dennis, I’m hoping the pepper isn’t too strong. I had a Trillbomb! Last year that I really enjoyed. On the other hand the big spicy stuff like India Kunindra that I had to choke down

    I think Trillbomb is brewed with Ancho chilis, which is used in Mexican Brunch (i.e. mild and not aggressive). Habanero on the other hand will be notable. Yet, the subcategory (pumpkin) may bring less of a punch; probably not as much as Ancho though

    That's a good point. Have you by chance had DFH Theobroma? I think that's one of the only other beers I can really remember liking with chilli's. I did a quick search but wasn't able to see what type they use in that.

    Can drop this Saturday 28 cases of Vigilante Tantrum American Pale Ale DDH bombed atomically with Citra, El Dorado and Simcoe. Cushion of oats, fruity yeast esters, and medium to low bitterness get down with tinges and tones of mango pulp, white peach, and ripe orange. Allotment one 4 pack per person and we open at 12pm.

    Heading there with some friends Saturday, aiming for 1-2, hopefully can madness is over quickly.

    Only 168 allotments of a single 4 pack should be quick. If everyone paid cash, it'd go real quick.

    What time would I need to arrive to grab a 4 pack. Is coming by 12 too later?

    lil Shimmy was gone in an hour last time. This has less. Max an hour-1.5 but likely less

    tough to say since this is the first run of cans for this beer. 12 should be fine, but i would do 11:45. if the line isn't long, then just hang in your car until doors.

    Here now. Digging the stout, definitely has a lingering heat but I really like it. All the flavors in very good balance.
