The Answer Brewpub (Richmond, Va)

Strong statement. Care to add context?

 

I think last week I came across something like 5 or 6 beer brackets going on with March Madness getting under way. This one here has The Answer pitted again their neighbor up the street (Veil) in the Elite Eight. The Answer is currently ahead with 70% of the votes. The other 6 left are heavy hitters too so be sure to add another tick for An and his crew.

I believe his first official date as head brewer was March 1st but I'm guessing Brandon let him unofficially take the reigns soon after it was announced of his last day being the end of Feb.

Precarious Beer Project / Amber Ox posted yesterday that Sean was down there to brew an Answer collab with them.

 

Joose will be available on draft but Crowlers are typically only sold Tues and Thurs. Someone recently posted they may be available Sundays too but any other day except these 3 is typically not an option.

 

It's been a while since I stopped by on a Tues / Thurs but I think they only fill enough to get through the opening rush along with maybe a little bit after that to help limit the wait times but then fill on demand once those Crowlers are gone.

if you are on facebook you may want to ask on Questions and The Answer. Several of the staff frequently post on the page and worst case scenario maybe you could hook up with someone to snag Crowlers on Thursday and meet up with you when you are in town.

Also, if it's not already in your plans definitely swing by Triple Crossing. They have a 2 can release on Friday beginning at Noon which includes a new Waxing Poetic which is very similar to the Jooses. Lines are typically very minimal if any but the beer they pump out is fantastic.

 

The Answer has made it to the Finals (vs. Weldwerks). A couple hours since voting opened and it's a very tight race. The Answer = 48.99% Weldwerks = 51.01% as of this post. Voting shuts down tomorrow (Friday) at Noon ET. Take a moment to vote. Hopefully for The Answer. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/03/bra...best-craft-brewery-final-weldwerks-the-answer

 

Noticed last night the pinned post in the Questions and The Answer fb group has been updated to note Joose Crowlers are now available Tues, Thurs and Sun going forward.

Don’t think so. They do not have an online store.
