    Ahhh I see that now. I don't think they had the cans updated when I checked last week. Very helpful.

    I was there around 5 pm on Saturday the 9th, and they had around 3 cases of Glimpse left at that time, if that's helpful for gauging how long cans might last. They were doing 4 four pack limits on Mas Verde at $15 a four pack, and 2 four pack limits on Glimpse at $18 a four pack.

    Can anyone comment as to how consistent can releases are at River Roost? Unfortunately their FB page gets updated every few weeks, at best. Can I show up at noon for open on Friday and expect to get cans? Thanks in advance.

    It is sporadic. I think they have had 2 releases, both brews lasted a few days or so. The website on tap page will show what is available and say cans for can options. Has been accurate.

    Thanks @jhavs, much appreciated. Is it worth a quick stop to sample the available options if no cans are available? My time is limited unfortunately and was hoping to make a quick stop.

    They don't have any cans right now so if you are going this Friday then check back with them to see if they can this week. That said, it is worth stopping to fill some growlers regardless. They fill most any growler but only carry large mouth screw tops.

    I agree with @BigStein88 , definitely worth a stop for a pour and growlers. Good beer store in same parking lot (Big Fattys Crowler Pit) for some other local options

    He updates riverroostbrewery.com just before noontime open on Thursday. If there are going to be any cans, that's probably when I'd expect to see them.

    Thanks again for the assistance guys! Stopped by at open and sampled Mo'rilla and Strong Suit, and got a small growler of Mo'rilla for the road. Awesome beers!

    Great!
    Hopefully cans will become more consistent soon. I have loved having them available in my fridge! (and to share with a few BA friends)

    They teased some barrel-aged releases a little while back, and it looks like the first iterations are coming soon:

    The teaser was of a brandy barrel, so looks excited to see what's coming up (and to grab this).

    Mark's bubbling something in barrels out back with squash flowers.

    I went in yesterday, and Mark said they're just waiting for labels on this one. They hand bottled ~1000 bottles and some kegs. This one was a blend of 2 BT bourbon barrels and a rye barrel, I think next one will be just bourbon.

    Stopped in Sunday as I was staying in Quechee for the weekend, great atmosphere, super friendly, loved that Counting Crows playing in the background, and it was not busy at all. Ended up picking up a growler of Object M31 and Strong Suit w/Vic Secret. Drank the growler of Object M31 yesterday and it was just delicious stuff, top notch. Can't wait to break into my growler of Strong Suit w/Vic Secret. This place is a gem!

    Had the M31 over the summer for the first time. Probably my favorite beer from them. Great galaxy hop ipa. Wish they were closer.

    I guess they didn't have any of the BA stout bottles??

    No not that I saw, although to be fair, I didn't go in looking for it.

    I am so jealous of everyone that lives close to this brewery. If I had a brewery like this near me I would be broke.
