    So when is the next one?

    Also - @KrajDoesBeer - is it safe to assume the Big DAM Scoop will be around for a few days at least? I can't make it up there the next two days but will be in the city with my kid Saturday morning and am probably gonna make FR my lunch spot.

    Good time as always last night. Cant believe that 14 is still such a Cinabomb.

    Sleeper Pick though. That Fonta Flora was a GEM.

    @Quilentro Has no tasebuds left after scorching his palate on all that sour Maman. It might as well have been adjuncted with damn pepper!

    Same as with ChemTrailMix. Very odd translation of cinnamon on my palate.

    I’m clearly a super taster and experience things on a different plane than all you unleavened jokers.

    Lots of great stuff last night. Forever Awake hit a sweet spot for me. Was fascinated by the different palate reactions people got from Adjunction Junction. 3 year cuvee of sand city was great. Dare I say a perfect balance of sours, hops, and stouts...?

    Toro Arnold Palmer tasted exactly like an Arnold Palmer.

    Excited for the event tonight - hoping I can swing by around 4:30. Any chance the good stuff will be on by then, @KrajDoesBeer ?

    What time does the event say? 430? Come in at 430. Get your howler filled while the station is open :slight_smile:

    I can tap the collab by 430 probably! Others Ill pull through the guest taps about 430-445 as well.

    Big DAM Scoop will for sure last a cpl weeks. But its not a full batch for a first time trial beer. We do love this Vanilla base stout very much and very pumped for yall to try it.

    The share was awesome. very unexpected gems showed up. I cant get enough Henna B3, Prop 14, or IGCCS! So many legit ones to name them all!

    See yall tonight!

    I picked the wrong week to deal with packing and moving. Two solid looking nights in a row over there.

    Have to say I've never been a big fan of golden stouts and Big DAM Scoop is the best golden stout I've ever had in my life. It's incredible. It is super thick, hits all the notes it is going for and tastes like fried ice cream 100%.
    This current batch of Radio Swan that is on tap kills all NE IPAs in the region in my opinion. It's insane.

    I’ll know more after I see how much we sold these first few days.

    But its going to go fast for sure.
