The Veil Brewing - Richmond

Since I don't have a lot of insight on how quickly things go. What's been put on tap today...the miata, hornswoggler, etc. Will it last until Friday? Or am I delusional?

 

Most importantly, go Hoos! Oh wait, poster is from PA....

 

I didn't even realize Pitt fans follow the team....

 

I didn't realize West Virginia had electricity, let alone the internet.

 

HAHAHA...damn that was original. Can't believe you didn't make a sister joke.

 

They list what's on draft on their site. http://www.theveilbrewing.com/taproom/
Everything (new) put on tap today should be there on Friday.

 

Yes I was looking at their site. I'm hopeful it will be, thanks!

 

Like your attendance shtick. Congrats on a nice season though. A lot of the WVU fans I know were ready to cut bait on Holgy a year or so back but he came through. Gives me some hope for Pitt. Enjoy Richmond and leave some of that Veil beer for me!

 

While you guys are replying promptly. I know this isn't the right place to ask but anyone ever do the Stone brewery tour? I don't particularly like their beer anymore, but I do like taking tours of the big facilities. Was just curious.

 

You better get there early!! I'm drinking all the beers this weekend!
Oh, and there are still plenty ready to ditch Holgs. Haha. I'm just not sure what out there would be better.

Why don't you like their beer anymore?

 

Compared to the smaller craft breweries beer I have been getting, for me there's no comparison. I liked their Totalitarian and Xocoveza. Use to like the Enjoy By. I just find most of it pretty terrible or average. They are pumping out beers left and right.

It's crazy how big this event is this year. I believe that's the biggest taplist they've ever had without guest taps. They have so many different brands in bottles/cans to sell that day that buying just 1 of each costs over $250 (not including any of the vintage bottles). Really rivals the 2nd anniversary party.

My only quibble is about blackferrari replacing blackivy if they're changing the recipe and not just the name. I'm sure blackferrari will be good but I'm worried if they switch up the citra/nelson combo for galaxy/nelson it might not work as well.

 

I was debating a drive up for dark daze from Raleigh. Was it a sh*tshow last year or relatively easy in and out for cans/bottles? I'm not about that 50degree parking lot life.

 

It is hard to compare last year to this year. Last year was easy, I waltzed in and out with everything I wanted with just a few mins in line, and most things were available late in the afternoon with zero line.
But there were far less "hyped" bottles than this year, there is definitely going to be a line especially at open partly bc of all the mags this year. However imo several of the bottles with the higher counts and 1pp will last until the line dies down. I don't think you need to get there super early unless you want mags.

 

I think this is spot on, if you want magnums or vintage bottles be prepared to spend part of your night or morning in line. Otherwise show up when they open, drink a few beers in line and purchase your allotment

 

They just posted details about blackferrari. Going to be Citra & Galaxy.

 

I've done the tour, and would do it again if it's still free and they still give out free beer. I agree about their beer. Not sure if they've slid or it's just others upping the game. I still buy a sixer of Xocoveza and a couple of Wootstouts, but that's it.
