    I don't think so - I think they are still just making enough to supply the tap room... told me on Saturday that the weekend before they sold the most beer they've ever sold - after they went to 11 taps, they haven't been able to have more than 8 on since that weekend... they pulled lil shimmy off this past weekend because it was selling so fast, they wanted to make sure there would be some left for this coming weekend...

    but their e-mail a few weeks back seemed to hint at expansion this year....

    I heard a similar story when I was in there on Sunday that there were no current plans for any canning but that they have acquired an additional space for brewing.

    I overheard them talking with a patron about something that sounded like expansion on Saturday as well

    At Twin Elephant now. Drinking The 5 Galileos another winner looks like I have found my Super Bowl beer, at least one of them!

    Is there a description I missed? Also, it looks like two different beers both called Feel the Realness - one an IPA and one a pale ale with different ABVs. That’s weird.

    Sup fam, we got two fresh suds drops this weekend and one of them is a first-time brew. Starting tonight, Thursday, we will have on tap a new APA called "Feel The Realness" that is 5.9% ABV and showcases Galaxy, Citra & Enigma hops creating a big ole obfuscated & thicc fruit bomb. Later in the weekend, most likely Saturday, we will be dropping a fresh batch of another one of our IPAs called "Crush It & Kill It". This beer is furnished with Azacca, Mosaic, Citra & Galaxy hops and comes in at 7.6% ABV. All that papaya and mango, pulpy & pithy fluff folded onto pilsner, British pale, oats and chit. Do work son. Finally, we would be remiss if we didn't bring up the new beer that slipped out last Sunday for the Superbowl. This old thing was lathered with boysenberry and mango purée. Sweet and dry. A group hug of fresh blackberry, raspberry syrup and mango sherbet. BraZen swagger of Belgian yeast; earth, pepper and spice twist in the wind of the finish.

    Ah, thanks. That DOES sound good and refreshingly low ABV. But the post above ours does show two seemingly different beers with the sameness name.

    They're getting some equipment that'll help facilitate easier double batching and a couple of fermenters that can handle holding double batches.

    The Juicy Busey Variant with Galaxy and Motueka is terrific! I know that brewing Saisons with Motueka is trendy but TE did a great job! The Motueka adds soft, plush, tropical fruit notes to what is a good base Saison. It's creamier and less carbonated than many Saisons. And it punches hard at 8.3%

    I know you weren’t asking me but...I was going to get some when I was there last week based on your earlier recommendation on here but then it didn’t make the cut for my flight. TE has so many tasty looking options!

    Yes, I thought it was a very nice Tripel - more bitter than most I've had. TE is really good at hopping up Belgians. I really liked the way they used Motueka in Juicy Busey.

    Agreed. The always kill it with the Belgians.

    I think Set the Vector is my favorite from them

    Feel the Realnesss is pretty solid. A little burn, but super easy to drink.

    I think I prefer this version of Crush It And Kill It to the last one. This is a little juicier and more fruity than the last, to me. I got a little onion/garlic last time, not picking it up in this version.
